The Aspid is very compact - with a wheelbase smaller than a city car - and cleverly packaged to accommodate even the tallest driver and passenger. Despite its size, the fully enclosed two-seater is comprehensively equipped and as far removed from being a 'stripped down to the bare essentials' track-day special that you could possibly imagine, which its performance figures would also suggest. It is first and foremost a premium sportscar designed for the road.

"The whole point of the Aspid is that it is small and lightning fast, just like its namesake," says company founder Ignacio Fernández Rodriquez. "But we also believe it's the first genuine attempt at producing an unusually compact luxury sportscar, not just with impeccable road holding and handling, but also with the highest possible quality for a car of its size."
