ATS Automobili revealed its new GT supercar during
the Salon Prive in the UK. 53 years after the company stopped producing road
cars, ATS returns with a very limited supercar called simply the GT. The
relaunched company says they will make just 12 units of their new creation,
each reportedly priced at US$ 1,150,000.
Built on a carbon tub, the new ATS GT is powered by
a twin-turbo 3.8-liter V8 paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.
The twin-turbo V8 is producing 650 hp as standard,
with ATS offering an optional upgrade to 700 hp. Combined with a dry weight of
1,300 kg, the ATS GT hits 60mph from a standstill in 3 seconds flat
while 120 mph arrive in 9.9 seconds. Top speed is more than 206 mph.
The cabin is covered in Nubuck leather and features
an ultra-thin TFT screen with an aluminum surround behind the steering wheel
and a central touchscreen for other functions. ATS has added Google’s 3D
navigation system with full screen maps and a wireless charging function among
others.
The new ATS Automobili is backed by Daniele Maritan
and Emanuele Bomboi, with the company having established a production unit and
a Centro Stile in close proximity of Torino in Italy.
