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 $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. Although the company doesn’t reveal who supplied the powertrain, it’s not that hard to connect the dots just by observing the pictures.

The twin-turbo V8 is producing 650hp as standard, with ATS offering an optional upgrade to 700hp. Combined with a dry weight of 1,300kg (2,866lbs), the ATS GT hits 60mph from a standstill in 3 seconds flat while 120mph arrive in 9.9 seconds. Top speed is more than 206mph.

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.

...I really thought this car was yet another GM V8 powered example of all the dev budget spent on exterior styling alone and not on engineering. How intriguing, that 3.8 V8.... Now, just where could it have come from...?
