Automobili Turismo e Sport (ATS) has the Leggera his third model gespresenteerd. This benenspreider (not my words) is a beautiful piece of retro-half-timbered, with an excellent horsepower-to-weight ratio.
The philosophy behind the Leggera (nomen est omen) is clear – to become a well-known Briton to quote: “simplify, then add lightness’. The Italian gem is performed in Istorico Red with champagnekleurig leather (that I myself am a bit less charitable had made in the interior.
He has a 1600cc turbogeblazen block from the shelves of GM, an output of 210 hp and 300 Nm of torque. In combination with an amazing low weight of just 650 (dry) kilos, this must be a delicious dijkenridder. At least, if the supercharging is not too much wrecks the day. Through a manual vijfbak (optional 6MT or a sequential zesbak) you bring the power on the road, and of course this rijdersauto a sperdiff (LSD).
Öhlins dampers to tell you at the same time that this is not a cheap exercise, but that you had probably not expected. Probably you can buy for the cost of a whole fleet of MX5-jes, but away and there are already a lot of around, and these ATS.
The 300 Leggera is doing 0-96 km/h in 4.5 seconds, for later there is also a 365 Leggera in the planning. If you want more, go for the 480 Super Leggera, or the 420 Super Leggera SS.
