Automobili Turismo e Sport, or ATS, is an Italian
sports car manufacturer founded in 1962 by a team of former Ferrari F1
technicians now looking to bring their know-how into the 21st century. And they will do so with an entirely new
product, called GT, which will show its fangs during the 2017 Salon Prive,
starting with August 31, at the Blenheim Palace, in Woodstock, Oxfordshire,
England.
To mark the occasion of building a new road-legal
vehicle more than 50 years after the Italian company renounced this idea, a
preview image has been released showing the brand's logo, on top of a sketch
that provides us with our first look at the upcoming exotic car.
Not much is known about the new ATS GT so far,
except that it's powered by a twin-turbo V8 engine, mated to a seven-speed
dual-clutch automatic transmission. Styled by the brand's chief engineer,
Emanuele Bomboi, only 12 units will be built (by hand), using lightweight
composites and carbon fiber for the bodywork, interior and chassis, all of
which part of the Launch Edition version.
