As production ramps up on the impossibly gorgeous Artega GT, parent company Paragon has announced that the compact sportscar will sell for €74,983 across the pond. The pricing makes it compelling competition for a well-equipped (and similarly proportioned) Porsche Cayman S. As we previously reported, final assembly is scheduled to begin this summer at a rate of two per day, ramping up to 20 per week for a total production run of just 500 vehicles.
Among those will be a
right-hand-drive model for the UK market, as Artega establishes a
British dealer base. The vehicle initially unveiled as a concept in
Geneva 2007 and in production form a year later is powered by a
mid-mounted, Volkswagen-sourced 3.6-liter V6 coupled to a DSG
transmission. 300 horsepower driving the rear wheels is all that's
needed to propel the Fisker-designed (think BMW Z8 and a handful of
Aston Martins along with his own line of coach-built SLs and M6s and
the Karma hybrid super-sedan) to 100 km/h (62 mph) in less than five
seconds.
We're still waiting to see if
Artega will go through the pains of homologating the GT for the U.S.
market, but a convertible version is said to be in the works. Until
then, we invite you to feast your eyes on the images in the galleries
below.
