Arash AF-10 V8

About

The Arash AF-10 V8 is a hybrid hypercar that boasts an impressive array of technological features. It features a carbon fibre monocoque and steel sub-frame, dihedral doors, a fixed rear wing, and an adjustable front wing. The powertrain consists of a supercharged V8 petrol engine producing 900bhp, supplemented by four electric hub motors each generating 295bhp and 200lb ft of torque. This setup results in a total system power of 2080bhp and a whopping 2280Nm of torque. The car is designed with a tear-drop cabin and has lightweight magnesium centre-lock race wheels. It promises a 0-60mph time of just 2.8 seconds and a top speed of over 200mph, making it a true marvel of automotive engineering. However, its practicality and feasibility for Indian roads and regulations remain questionable.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Arash AF-10 V8 is a marvel of engineering, but its a car that exists in a realm far beyond the ordinary. With its hybrid powertrain producing a staggering 2080bhp, this hypercar is more of a technological showcase than a practical vehicle for Indian roads. The combination of a supercharged V8 petrol engine and four electric hub motors makes it a beast on paper, but its real-world usability and reliability are yet to be proven. Given its astronomical price and the lack of infrastructure to support such a high-performance vehicle in India, its more of a collectors item for the ultra-wealthy rather than a car for everyday driving.

Price

The Arash AF-10 V8 is priced at approximately 1.1 million for the road version, which translates to around 11 crore in India, excluding import duties and taxes. Once you factor in these additional costs, the ex-showroom price could easily exceed 15 crore. On-road prices would be even higher, considering registration fees, insurance, and other local taxes. This makes the AF-10 V8 one of the most expensive cars available in India, catering only to a very niche market of ultra-high-net-worth individuals.

Mileage

Thursday, 21 November 2024 10:58 PM Given the Arash AF-10 V8s hybrid powertrain and its focus on raw power rather than efficiency, mileage is not its strong suit. The car is designed for speed and performance, not for fuel economy. In Indian conditions, where fuel prices are relatively high, running this car would be extremely costly. You can expect very poor mileage, likely in the range of 2-5 kml, making it a vehicle that is best suited for occasional use rather than daily driving.
