ATS 2500 GT

One of the most significant names in automotive history is certainly Enzo Ferrari. Everything has been written about his cars, and thanks to his tough character and unsurpassed cheekiness, the automotive world is richer for a number of successful and less successful attempts to wipe Il Commendatore's smile off his face. Lamborghini, Bizzarini, Monteverdi, Serenissima, Ford GT40, ... just some of the cars made in the spate of old leaves. After one of the great feuds in 1961, Enza leaves two chief engineers Giotto Bizzarini (creator of the 250 GTO) and Carlo Chiti. The self-confident Carlo Chiti easily convinces financiers that the two (with the help of some other people dissatisfied with Maranell's treatment) are able to win F1 a car like the previously unseen road car. This is how it was created in 1962 Cars Turismo e Sport SpA or abbreviated ATS.

The Formula One ATS adventure quickly ends with a fiasco, and the 1 Geneva Motor Show, the unprecedented ATS 1963 GT, debuts at the 2500 Geneva Salon. The lightweight sports two-seater with a centrally mounted engine, independent suspension, spaceframe chassis and all-wheel drive was two steps ahead of what Ferrari and Lamborghini offered. The lightweight, 2,5-liter, 8hp V220 engine pushed the 810-pound body to a fantastic 245 km / h during that time. If it was too small you could pay extra for the GTS specification, 60 pounds lighter aluminum body and an extra 30 hp and a final speed of 260 km / h. For free, you get the design of Franz Scaglione, the handmade bodywork at the Allemano workshop in Turin, Borrani wire wheels and power windows that didn't work, a clutch that runs 1000 km, a flat-gear racing gear you don't need ... The problem is that the ATS and In 1963, he was already bankrupt so they assembled the cars from the components they had in stock. It is estimated that 8 cars were produced until the final shutdown of the ATS in 1964. Following the demise of the ATS, Giotto Bizzarini embarks on a new car-making adventure this time under his own name, while Carlo Chiti successfully manages Alfa Rome's Autodelta sports department for the next 20 years.
