Innotech Aspiron revealed at Goodwood

 

Innotech Aspiron £117, 000 track car, the Aspiron, has had its world public debut in the Goodwood Festival of speed. The car is offered having a choice of Corvette-derived V8 engines, developing between 500-800hp, and also a six-speed manual gearbox – a similar Ricardo unit utilized in both the Ford GT and also the Hennessey Venom GT. “It’s a proven gearbox, ” says Innotech owner Zdenek Mrkvica. “It may take the ability with no problem, it’s durable. ” A kerbweight of between 760-860kg, counting on specification, is aimed at aiding durability and performance.

An aluminium spaceframe underpins the car, while inside lightweight Tillet carbon fibre racing seats, having a carbon fibre dashboard containing one digital display, form the cabin.   Styling wise, there will be lots of nods towards the Caparo T1, though Mrkvica says the brand has always been an inspiration for him. “When I first saw the Caparo T1 I‘d been in Vegas and I‘d been very impressed with what I saw, the design and also the concept. I assumed that might be the strategy to use for those on our next project. ”Innotech made a decision to learn from lessons bought on from the T1.

“Their car was too special, too unique Innotech Aspiron, says Mrkvica. Our car is founded on an identical look, but it’s a really different vehicle. It’s cheaper, both to purchase and also to own. There’s different technology here. ”That said, unique and bespoke styling remains likely going to be an enormous draw for Innotech customers. The corporate is actively targeting the car in the direction of the super-rich, and thus is offering some unique performance options : “We can perform different engines and different styles. If someone came to us having a Ferrari V8 or perhaps a Viper V10 then we could fit that, there’s space for the. Being a little company we will really build the car to customer specifications. ”The Chevrolet V8 engine option will probably be the most important seller for the instant, though, because of Mrkvica’s extensive experience with another side of Innotech’s business – selling modified and highly tuned Corvettes.  Innotech also offers a history developing supercars. Its first model, the Mysterro, used another Corvette-derived engine when it went on sale in 2000.

For customers who desire much more exclusivity, Innotech already has special editions from the Aspiron inside the pipeline. Mrkvica says that each limited edition run would comprise between 12-20 units. Orders are now open to the Aspiron, with deliveries expected towards spring next year. Over subsequent year the corporate wishes to shorten its production time for them to three or four months for every batch of cars. As the Aspiron won’t be going in the Goodwood hill in 2012 – Innotech says the car will certainly be coming to bring upon the course in the 2014 Festival of Speed – perhaps even setting its sights upon the lap record.
