The Equus Bass770 (stylized in all caps as EQUUS BASS770) is an American fastback luxury muscle car manufactured by Equus Automotive, named after its founder, Bassam Abdallah.

At its launch in 2015, six models were available: Accent, Accent Plus, Design, Design Plus, Edition, and Collection.

Design

The Bass770's design was inspired by muscle cars from the 1960s-1970s, most notably, the first generation Ford Mustang fastback, with other design cues taken from the Chevrolet Camaro, Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger, Plymouth Barracuda, Pontiac GTO, and AMC Marlin. This inspiration extends to the Bass770's interior, which makes heavy use of physical gauges and switches with metal accents.

Despite it's styling, the Bass770 comes equipped with various modern comfort features, such as LED lights, parking sensors, an infotainment system and GPS navigation.

Vehicle data

The car's chassis and body are made of aluminum with carbon fiber linings. The entire vehicle is handcrafted.

The car uses a 6.2 litres (6,162 cc) LS9 supercharged 90.5-degree V8 engine derived from the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. The engine can deliver up to 640 hp (477 kW; 649 PS) at 6500 rpm and 605 lb⋅ft (820 N⋅m) at 3800 rpm. This enables the car to accelerate from 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) in 3.4 seconds, and achieve a top speed above 200 mph (322 km/h). Power is delivered to the rear wheels by a 6-speed rear-mounted dual-clutch transmission.

The car's tires measure 255/40ZR19 at the front and 285/40ZR19 at the rear. The car uses Brembo six-piston brake calipers at the front and four-piston calipers at the rear, along with carbon ceramic matrix (CCM) ventilated and cross-drilled brake rotors are utilized for braking. The rotors measure 390 mm (15.5 in) at the front and 360 mm (14 in) at the rear.

The Bass 770 is equipped with driving assists such as a magnetic selective ride control, performance traction management, an active handling system with traction control, and power steering.
