This prototype is a one-of-one Arma Zen built to learn how to create a road-going kit car that can be registered and driven on public roads. It took ten years to build with the help of a six-person team.
It is a mid-engine, two-seat sports car powered by an LS3 V8 rated at 485 HP and paired with a six-speed manual transmission. Steering is analog with electric assist, giving the car a direct mechanical feel while still being manageable in parking lots.
The car was built around the occupants, with a large front windshield for visibility and an immersive view of the road. It does not get much more analog than this: no traction control, no airbags, and no door locks.

This is a mostly finished prototype car. It drives and is registered, but it should still be understood as a custom development vehicle rather than a polished production car.
The interior is unfinished, and some quality-of-life items will need work. Before sale, we plan to complete several updates, including replacing the master brake cylinder for an easier pedal feel and adding radiator ducting to help with fogging.
This car is for someone who wants to customize a unique vehicle. It may be a good fit for an experienced kit car builder, fabrication shop, engineering group, motorsport team, or collector who understands the opportunity and responsibility that comes with a one-of-one prototype.
The right buyer should be prepared to inspect the vehicle, review the included parts and documentation, arrange transport, and understand that future road use, inspection, registration, and insurance depend on local rules.
Serious buyers can contact Arma Automotive directly. Please include your location, intended use, relevant build or fabrication experience, and the type of information you need before arranging an inspection.
