Abarth has confirmed it will launch its first stand-alone sports car in more than 30 years.
Antonino Labate, head of sales and marketing at Abarth, told Autocar that the car will be launched in the next two years - but added that Lotus will not be involved in the car's development, or supply Elise underpinnings, as had originally been thought.
“The brand is doing so well we will definitely bring our own standalone Abarth coupe model to market within the next two years," said Labate, who also hinted the car will be a strict two-seater.
Abarth has hankered after a halo model since it relaunched as a standalone brand in 2008, and the sports car is expecetd to have around 240bhp, be mid-engined and weigh around 900kg. 作者: Simon 時間: 2010-6-24 07:04
