The first car was powered by a mid mounted 6.0 litre Chevrolet V8 but this was later swapped in favor of a 4.7 litre V8 engine from BMW.The spaceframe chassis of the Ascari Ecosse was covered by a lightweight fibre glass body. The Ascari Ecosse was designed by Lee Noble who was previously involved with the Mclaren F1 and Lotus Elise design projects, later he went on to produce his own line of sports cars, Noble sports cars.
