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 ce...

Automobili Turismo e Sport, or ATS, is an Italian sports car manufacturer founded in 1962 by a team of former Ferrari F1 technicians now looking to bring their know-how into the 21st century. And they will do so with an entirely new product, called GT, which will show its fangs during the 2017 Salon Prive, starting with August 31, at the Blenheim Palace, in Woodstock, Oxfordshire, England. To mark the occasion of building a new road-legal vehicle more than 50 years after the Italian company renounced this idea, a preview image has been released showing the brand's logo, on top of a sketch that provides us with our first look at the upcoming exotic car. Not much is known about the new ATS GT so far, except that it's powered by a twin-turbo V8 engine, mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Styled by the brand's chief engineer, Emanuele Bomboi, only 12 units will be built (by hand), using lightweight composites and carbon fiber for the bodywork, ...

Last week in Monterey, Koenigsegg delivered the  first Agera RS homologated for the United States  to its eagerly awaiting owner. And now it's about to do the same at the  Salon Privé Concours d'Elegance  with the model's first European delivery. But it's far from “just another” Koenigsegg. Dubbed “Naraya” by its owner (whose  identity  remains undisclosed), this particular  Agera RS  has been constructed and finished, both inside and out, in blue-tinted carbon fiber. But the most striking feature could be the gold trim. Koenigsegg flew in Italian craftsman Ettore “Blaster” Callegaro, who spent two full weeks – working 12-hour days, six days a week – applying the 18-carat gold leaf embellishments by hand. As if the result weren't blinged-out enough already, the Naraya also features a nameplate bedazzled with 155 artificial diamonds.  The finished product just goes to show that there's no limit to how flashy even a multi-million-dollar supe...

Icona is set to unveil the production-spec variant of its all-aluminum Vulcano hypercar at Salon Prive in the UK next month. Previously displayed at the  Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance last year  and  Top Marques Monaco  in April, the Vulcano Titanium will set back customers a cool €2.5 million ($2.78 million), making it just as expensive as the insane Bugatti Chiron. It is claimed that it took 10,000 hours of work to construct the titanium body of this initial example, giving it a truly unique look unlike any other existing car. Inside, the combination of carbon fiber, Alcantara and a 12.3-inch infotainment system promises to make the Icona  Vulcano  Titanium's cabin a truly pleasurable place to be. Under the titanium skin is a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine squeezing out 670 hp and 820 Nm of torque. In conjunction with the car's low overall weight, the engine and six-speed transmission is said to be enough to accelerate it to 62 mph (100 km/h) in a...
