Artega GT Porsche challenger from the province

The Artega GT is these days a whole new German sports car at the start. Compact, lightweight and incredibly fresh, but he remembers the old virtues. With 220 kW/300 hp enters the 74,983-euro two-seater, inter alia, the Porsche Cayman. Everything is on the Artega GT new: the manufacturer, the location, production facilities and the concept.

Artega brand name

The head of the project is Klaus Dieter Frers, a medium-sized entrepreneur who has founded over 20 years, the supply company Paragon. In the sleepy Westphalian Delbrück Frers is now building a sports car. He relies on the project not only to his own ability, but has been going on with everything together, which in recent years had rank, name and success.
The brand name Artega is about an invented word by Manfred Gotta - who has the beating of a car Opel Calibra or Porsche Cayenne missed a memorable name. Designed by Henrik Fisker, who formerly was with Aston Martin and BMW cars operate as a designer.

Incredibly compact

Wide, stocky, flat and incredibly compact - the Artega is as short as a golf and as wide as a Corvette. Only when one has seen him live is striking how large a Porsche 911 has become in recent years. Nevertheless, the GT offers space for two people and lots of luggage behind the driver and front passenger. The two Recaro sport seats fit just wonderfully, the small steering wheel is perfectly in the hand. We see excellent; forward over the short dash and the fender, behind the deep rear window.

Individual handwriting

The instruments are a mix of old school and slanting the future, the classic speedo is taken from two TFT monitors with displays for fuel level, coolant and oil temperature as well as for the G-forces during acceleration and braking in the pliers. And so the Artega has enough individual style to divert attention from the mass production parts. Ignition, air nozzles and steering lever, for example, we already know from various Volkswagen models. The workmanship is high, because the GT or rattles rattles nothing. This is obviously not in the small batch production. Artega GT Cars Currently, a daily Artega built in the coming year will be 500 cars are produced.
3.6-liter V6 engine

The 3.6-liter V6 engine on the rear axle is not built themselves, but comes from Volkswagen. But what is started from the rear has awakened, with the Lower Draught VW Passat R36 nothing in common. The direct thumps at the first gas surge such that a Cayman would probably pale with envy. Artega Porsche sport car has tuned the engine and the exhaust itself and combined with a voiced exhaust. Still makes the GT - it stands for Grand Tourismo, so big touring car - its name and offers a decent long-distance comfort. The engine keeps pleasantly back at low speeds, the suspension absorbs the flat tire, despite a surprising number of shots. Only on bad roads it is rough.
