Artega Gt


Introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in 2008, The Artega GT is a mid engine, rear wheel drive, two passenger sports car produced by the German automaker Artega Motors. Henrik Fisker helped design this, many of the current Aston Martins and of course the Fisker Karma.
The Atega GT will do a limited edition run of only 99 units and will retail starting at just under $100,000. The Artega GT is powered by a 3.6 Liter V6 that delivers a maximum output of 296 HP and a peak of 258 foot pounds of torque. 0 to 60 mph in under 5 seconds and a top speed of 167 mph.
This affordable 4-door exotic features unique paintwork, diamond polished Artega forged alloy wheels, individually numbered plaques on the side panels, and shift console as well as custom velour and leather trim to finish off the interior.
500 units are currently being built at its plant in Germany and, unfortunately, is not expected to be shipped in the US anytime soon.
