Artega is launching its GT to the market with a special offer: The new German sports car is available in a strictly limited “Intro 2008“ edition of 99 vehicles with exclusive and unique features.
Artega, the all-new German sports car firm aiming to build a “serious” £50,000 alternative to the Porsche Cayman, has confirmed that it will start building right-hand-drive cars early next year, and it has already begun establishing a UK dealer structure.
The company, spun off car components giant Paragon, has a team including ex-BMW engineering guru Karl-Heinz Kalbfell. It is putting the finishing touches to an all-new factory in the Westphalian city of Delbruck where production will start this summer at a rate of about two cars a day, with a view to eventually hitting about 20 a week within two years.
The Artega, designed by ex-Aston Martin design chief Henrik Fisker, was revealed at the 2007 Geneva Show as a coupé, but it will eventually be available as a convertible too.
The transverse, mid-mounted engine is a 3.6-litre V6 unit from the VW family, with 300bhp driving through a six-speed, twin-clutch, paddle-shift gearbox.
Performace stats for the Artega GT are: 0-100kmh(0-62 mph) under 5 seconds. Target weight at 1100 kg.
