Ascari Ecosse specs

Not bad for their first car!

Power (specifically HP, not torque), Drag area (coefficient of drag X frontal area), and gearing are the most important figures when considering top speed. There\'s also lift to consider though, because you can\'t exactly reach 200mph if you begin to lift and spin out at 180mph. :S

Weight has nothing to do with Top Speed, i dunno its Cd or its gearing, but i highly doubt this would go past 186mph.

I think 200 mp/h could be reachable for this car. I mean, it\'s quite lightweight and 400 BHP isn\'t bad.

no but as long there is no test to prove the claim wrong we have to accept it...

ok fair enuff i guess, but do you blieve it?

the 200mph is a manufactor claim... http://www.ascari.net/

yeah 200mph is very hard to believe. last time when i checked on this car it had a confirmed top speed of 182mph, thats much more believable.

no way 200!

has anyone ever confirmed 200?! its clearly not slippery enough for that kind of speed! besides that i gotta say i love the design, sometimes i feel like the only one but if this looks bad i dont get how anyone can stand a modern day ferrari.

200mph?? No Way!!!!!!!!!!! the KZ1 hits 201 and thats got 520Bhp!!

I woudnt Excatly say Beautiful...
