ASH019: The Wheeling Jewel Awaits Its Time to Take the World by Storm

Wait & See - After nearly three years of grappling with the COVID-19 pandemic, the ASH Institute has finally unveiled its long-awaited supercar design, the ASH019. The designer expressed a strong desire to preserve the ASH019 coded car design, which has undergone significant modifications since its initial developtment. This new iteration showcases a more practical and conventional package layout.

At first glance, the ASH019 design exhibits a striking similarity to the OWL, primarily differing in its drivetrain and slightly increased ride height. The augmented ride height, in contrast to the OWL's incredibly low stance (a mere 990 mm), serves to improve the overall comfort of the cabin's occupants.

Moreover, meticulous attention to detail has been employed to create an enhanced sense of authenticity, featuring a retractable rear wing with wing tip plate and flap, along with advanced rear fender air outlets.While specific details have not been revealed yet, it appears that the ASH019 supercar design will prioritize on weight and speed.

To achieve a sporty yet lightweight bodywork, ASH Institute plans to employ materials like carbon fiber, similar to the OWL, which was renowned for its custom chassis and remarkably low overall weight.

Regarding the drivetrain, the ASH019 supercar is expected to feature a hybrid V-type 10-cylinder engine, which promises a delightful exhaust note. However, potential buyers will also have other engine options available, such as V-type Naturally-Aspirated 8-cylinder, hybrid V-type 6-cylinder, and turbocharged in-line 4-cylinder engines.

It is essential to note that the ASH019 supercar is still in the developmental stage, and further design changes remain a possibility. As of now, there is no confirmation on whether the ASH019 design will transition into a production model. The prospect of the ASH019 becoming a tangible reality in multiple variants is undeniably thrilling.

Considering the impressive range of drivetrain options, it is not unreasonable to anticipate that the ASH019's performance will rival, if not surpass, that of other prominent supercars offered by globally acclaimed brands. The ASH Institute's innovative approach promises an exciting addition to the world of high-performance vehicles. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | ASH INSTITUTE ]
