Shown in British Racing Green

Arion’s late model Polaris was completely gutted down to the bare minimums, with a partial carbon-fibre tubular chassis and almost all the exterior panels being carbon fibre, the weight was brought down to an impressive 972.9kg.
The RWD Turbo Diesel 3 litre Inline 6 produces 370hp helping it achieve a 0-62 time of 3.1s and given enough room on tarmac, it’s estimated to be able to go 195mph, but the Polaris DKR wasn’t used on-road it was intent on winning the Dakar rally from 2020 onwards.

Introduced in late 2020, the Cassiopeia RS is Arion’s ultimate hypercar.

The Cassiopeia RS utilises active aero and electromagnetic suspension giving it incredible braking and handling characteristics. Through the switch of a button the suspension can be changed from road-mode to RS-mode which lowers the height, adds optimal spring rates for the true racing experience.
