The '''AS One''' was a lightweight track car built around a [[Suzuki Hayabusa]] engine by [[Automotive Solutions]] as a German-engineered alternative to the already established [[Radical Sportscars|Radical]] and [[Westfield Sportscars|Westfield]] marques. The car was designed by Felix Faurbach and Jeremy Vick with a sole example built despite the company intending a small production run which included selling the car in the UK. Not much else is known about the car, with the majority of information known about it sourced<ref>[https://www.classicdriver.com/en/article/automotive-solutions-one-track-tested-uk Classic Driver - Automotive Solutions One Track Tested in UK.]</ref> from an April 2003 Classic Driver article in addition to its 2002 ''Top Gear'' appearance.

==Appearance==
The One made its sole ''Top Gear'' appearance as part of the [[Top Gear (2002 TV series)/Series 1/Episode 10|2002 Christmas Special]] with the intent of surpassing the British-built [[Radical SR3]], a car which was also fitted with the Hayabusa engine. The car was featured alongside the [[MTM Bimoto]], an extensively-modified [[Audi TT]] built by another German track-oriented marque. Driven by [[The Stig]], the car set a disappointing lap time of 1:29 around the [[Top Gear Test Track]], later corrected to 1:29.4, which was just over 10 seconds behind the SR3's time of 1:19.1. The car placed sixth overall on the official power lap standings, and would later be [[Top Gear (2002 TV series)/Power Laps#Disqualifications|disqualified]] following [[Top Gear (2002 TV series)/Series 2/Episode 4|Series 2, Episode 4]], when its time, alongside those of the SR3 and [[Westfield XTR2]] were all taken off the board.

Unlike the other two cars however, the One's lap time would likely have remained ineligible due to the fact the car was never put into full-time production, and remained a standalone prototype. After its removal from the board, the car and its associated manufacturer were never seen nor mentioned again on ''Top Gear'', nor any other automotive journalism programme. Though the company had its own website<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20020826195639/http://www.automotivesolutions.de/en/index.htm (Archive link) Automotive Solutions official website.]</ref> at one point, it has been offline since 2004.
