Artega
GT Coupe
There’s
been a definite resurgence in small and lightweight roadsters. Tiny road-going
racers with punchy engines and the kind of handling owners of bigger and
heavier sports cars can only dream of. Some of the cars that spring to mind
include the KTM X-bow, MMI Avocet, and pretty much anything with a Lotus badge
attached, but there’s one car that has all others licked when it comes to the
style department and that’s the Fisker designed Artega GT.
The
svelte coupe has officially on sale, debuting at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show,
and to mark the occasion Artega has launched a new special edition model
limited to just 99 units. Dubbed the ‘Intro 2008’ models, the special edition
cars receive a number of unique trim and interior options only available on
this model. Some of the features include unique paintwork, diamond-turned
Artega forged alloy wheels, individually numbered plaques on the side panels
and gearshift console, as well as custom velour and leather trim. Pricing for
the special edition models will start at € 79,790. The standard model will set
you back about € 75,000 and roughly 500 cars will be built per year.
The
car’s powertrain remains unchanged, which means you still get a
direct-injection 300 hp V6 displacing 3.6-L and mated to a six-speed DSG transmission.
Expect to see a 0-100 km/h time of less than five seconds and a top speed of
270 km/h.
