Diatto GT Ottovu To Be Produced In 99 Units
Remember Zagato’s Diatto GT concept that was previewed at the Geneva Show last March? Well while many may have long forgotten the historic Turinese marque, turns out that those who didn’t made the impossible, possible; the Italian sports car will go into limited production as the Diatto GT Ottovù! Don’t get your hopes high though as just 99 units will be built. The Diatto GT Ottovù which is inspired from the 1920s Diatto Grand Prix car, is based on a forged steel chassis while the body has been entirely realized in aluminum (total weight 1,450 kg – 3,197 lbs.) As expected, the Diatto GT Ottovù utilizes a front-mounted engine and rear-wheel-drive layout. Power will come from a 4.6-liter V8 engine with volumetric compressor and double cam, which produces 530 hp and can be increased up to 650 hp. The V8 engine, which is prepared by Cosworth and Roush is coupled to a 6-speed gearbox with manual or automatic option. -Continued after the jump
