Style, Luxury, Prestige and Performance: All wrapped up in one fast supercar
–
Formed from concept in 2003 then reaching production in 2004: The Cassiopeia 16C became Arion’s next flagship supercar, displaying to the world the pure speed and agility intertwined with comfort and road-handling ability.
It came standard with helpful on-road comforts for anyone rich enough to daily drive a supercar such as active suspension that with a touch of a button can lift the front to go over bumps with little hassle.
The Cassiopeia is Arion’s first Auto-Manual equipped road-going supercar utilising a mixture of automatic transmission for cruising around town and manual paddle shifting for the track.

Being no lightweight at 1,492kg, it is still able to achieve 1.19g’s in cornering, 0-60mph in 2.9s and 240mph+ top speed, through a sophisticated new 6-gear auto-manual transmission paired to an electronic LSD in a RWD configuration.
