Salone di Torino disappeared in 2002 when the Bologna Motor Show took
over the role of the international motor show in Italy.
However,
this year the Turin Motor Show back in, although as an outdoor event
which held near Parco del Valentino, Turin. On the other hand, Torino
Design brings their newest star, named the 'ATS Wildtwelve'.
You
probably know how the habits of small Italian car manufacturer that
said: "Our car has thousands of power and has a top speed approaching
the F-16 fighter aircraft," or maybe sounds too excessive.
Actually,
Torino Design has never been done a test run on the ATS Wildtwelve to
support their claim about the top speed that reaches 390 km/h. For sure,
the supercar figure is a very beautiful creation and clearly reflected
the impression of Italian flamboyant.

According
to Torino Design, the 'ATS' stands for 'Automobili Turismo and Sport'
and signifies the company that was born in 1960 as a result of the great
uprising of the Ferrari engineers. Regarding to the 'Wildtwelve' name,
the car is equipped by a 3.8 liter V12 engine twin-turbo coupled with a
9-speed sequential transmission system.
It
could burst total output of 860 hp and has a torque of 918 Nm, and this
could be happened thanks to the collaboration of its V12 engine and
plug-in hybrid powertrain that consisted of two electric motors to drive
the front wheels. The company also says that the chief engineer of this
hybrid hypercar is a former employee of the Bugatti, but it is more
interesting of this car is its weight. Thanks to the amount of carbon
fiber materials, and finally Torino Design ATS Wildtwelve has a weighs
only 1,450 kilograms.
Beside
that, Torino Design will only make 30 units of the hybrid hypercar
which has a length of 4.4 meters, a width of 2 meters and height of 1.2
meters and will be built in the old Bugatti factory at Campogalliano
that has been acquired by the designer Santo Versace. The expectation is
Mr Versace liked the car speed, since the ATS Wildtwelve capable of
touching the figure of 100 km/h in 2.6 seconds. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | TORINO DESIGN | AUTOEVOLUTION]
