ATS Sport 490 Stradale

A Automobili Turismo Sport (ATS) lançou o Sport 490 Stradale. Baseado no Sport 490, o carro recebeu suspensão recalibrada, diferencial de deslizamento limitado e transmissão com marcha à ré, além de freio de mão, faróis e interior mais refinado, para que o carro possa ser conduzido em vias públicas.

O motor Extreme, com 1400 cm³ de cilindrada, produz 235 CV de potência. O carro, que pesa 500 kg, acelera de zero a 100 km/h em três segundos e atinge a velocidade máxima de 230 km/h.

"Obviamente, esta versão foi concebida com os track days em mente, permitindo que o piloto possa ir rodando de sua casa até a pista, sem a necessidade de transportá-lo, e também é uma grande oportunidade de expandir o mercado da ATS", disse Gianluca Gregis, presidente da empresa.

The new ATS SPORT 490 Stradale (Road Legal in Italian) is the latest version of the ATS SPORT range that has been created to be licenced for the road use.

The SPORT Stradale is very similar to the full race version presented in early 2014, but with some adjustments on suspensions ride, a new specific front a rear full light Hella kit, a mechanic reverse gear with LSD, an hand brake and cockpit refinement; now it is possible to register for a complete and legal road use.

Gianluca Gregis, the ATS owner of the Tenerife based car manufacturer says: “Obviously this version has been realized with track day use in mind, giving the chance to the owner to drive it directly from the home’s garage to the race circuit. A great opportunity to expand the ATS market also through a less professional driver, but still with the passion for extreme sportscars.”

The performances with this new 1400cc Extreme engine and 235 hp at 10.000 rpm are really similar to the race version with only 35 kgs added at the total curb weight, fixed around 500 kgs. So, 3 seconds 0 to 100 kph and over 230 khp as top speed.

Also this new version can be upgraded with more specific race parts to get the best lap time during the track day, the list include TTX Ohlins dampers, Tarox 280 brake kit, 2.2 ratio steering rack. The 490 Stradale offer now as standard the new 15” split rims superlight wheels built by Braid and a set of Avon CR500 Semi slick tires.

This first ATS SPORT 490 Stradale stickered with iconic “Martini” colors has been recently delivered in right hand specifications to the new ATS UK distributor, and can be ordered also from other markets where is possible to register it.
