Arash AF10 Hybrid - Max system power 2080bhp

Arash AF10 Hybrid

The 2017 Arash AF10 Hybrid was first revealed at the Geneva Motor Show 2016. The new car is a significant improvement over the previous-gen. It costs 1.57 million dollars.

Spaceship technology

The things that matter – It’s tear-drop cabin over a wing plane surface. Fixed rear wing and moving front wing for when it’s needed – big speed. With the tight cabin, you could argue the AF10 has more spaceship DNA than car.

The body is carbon reinforced plastic with aluminium honeycomb sandwich construction throughout. Naked polished finishes in defined areas. Front and side aerofoils. Fixed active rear wing with smaller lower fixed rear wing as well as an active front high speed wing. I also includes 2 x  dihedral hydro electically lifting doors with safety anti-drop valve system. Neonode Air Bar gesture open system. Arash AP via Vodafone for body functions on Apple Watch or Iphone.
To access to the hear of the beast, and electro hydraulic rear engine cover and front bonnet lift.

The wheels  are 20 x 12 inch rear, 19 x 9 inch fronts. Tyres – Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2, premium super car tyre. 345, 30 – 20 (Y) rear

The chassis it’s awesome! It’s a carbon bathtub – a tub in car world lingo. It has a patented 13 piece construction. Very strong, light, stiff – like a plastic construction toy block  – which sounds like ‘eggo’. Everything hangs off this structure. It’s what F1 and endurance sports cars have and the AF10 looks really cool when being assembled.

The engine, motors and transmission

The  petrol engine is a 6,2 litre V8 with a compact supercharger mounted inside its V cavity. No need for a large surface mounted pump – it all sits low and cools itself well with a built in charge cooler.
This engine again is simplified and lightened by using 2 valves per piston – makes the head size compact.

 All rotating parts are below your waist when seated in the car – crank, piston, gearbox bits, clutch. That makes AF10 a great go cart feel. Its 6.2 litres of direct injected power with 120kg total weight. (Mainly aluminium parts).

Additionally to the petrol engine, the beast has four electric motors. The total power is insane. It’s 1180 BHP electric motors, plus 900 BHP petrol engine, thus total 2080 BHP! If the acronyms are too much to put it into other words that’s really, really, really, REALLY fast.

Each of the 4 electric motors in the Warp Drive System are outputting:

220 KW; 270 Torque Nm; 13000 RPM.

Regarding the transmission, each electric motor has its own gearbox with 2 speeds. Petrol engine has a 6 speed manual or paddleshift gearbox.
