Keen Road readers may have spotted the news on our Facebook page that the Automobili Tourismo e Sport (ATS) – the "fondly remembered F1 and sports car manufacturer of the 1960s – brand has been re-born. Good news! The team say they "are working to ATS's original ethos of extremely light weight vehicles utilising high efficiency, compact power-plants." And they are about to launch three exciting new models throughout Europe – as well as re-launching the cult De Tomaso brand, which they hold the rights to.
The first of these new models is this ultra-lightweight, downforce-inducing track day special – the ATS Sport, and here's the brief lowdown:
- Dry weight only 470kg.
- Develops 1,150kg of downforce.
- 4g cornering forces on slicks.
- 3g cornering forces on road legal semi-slicks.
- Up to 540bhp/ton.
- Stainless steel chassis.
- 6-pot Tarox callipers, front and rear.
