The Arash AF-10, a grudge project started by someone rejected for Enzo ownership, finally is ready for sale. Powered by a 7.0-liter LS7 V8 with 550 HP, this "budget" exotic's priced at a mere $534,000.

The British-built, American-powered Enzo-wannabe is built with a special carbon construction that reduces the need for excess resins and keeps weight down (because carbon fiber is so heavy). Even the major windows are made from a scratch-resistant acrylic to keep the AF-10 form weighing anything. So is this an Enzo killer? Not quite, with top speed of around 205 MPH and a 0-to-60 MPH time in the lower 3's it still has a way to go. But we expect them to go that way with a follow-up model.
