The car pays homage to the Shelby Cobra 427
Puritalia, a new Italian car maker, has unveiled its first car and named it the 427. The car incorporates Italian design with American muscle philosophy, says the company. The car is expected to be launched in 2013.
"We decided to design and engineer the 427 simply because a similar car doesn't exist. It is unique in design, in style, and most importantly in the way we build it. As in the past, simplicity was the idea behind the development of the true 2-seat sports car leaving exotic and extreme solutions out of the equation,” said Paolo Parente, Founder, Puritalia.
The 427 pays homage to the legendary Shelby Cobra 427. It is a two-seater, open top, light weight car which has a 5-litre V8 engine bolted on. The 427 features an aluminum chassis for high torsional rigidity, composite and carbon fiber body panels, independents double wishbone suspension, adjustable shock absorbers, a 6-speed manual gearbox and a limited slip differential.
