So, what's it all about the ATS GT? The anti-establishment Italian supercar no one heard of? Since its return in 2012, ATS, or Automobili Turismo e Sport, spent lots of years perfecting their supercar that takes on the establishment ones from Ferrari and Lamborghini. With that, the ATS GT is born and it's an ode to the first ATS vehicle, the 2500 GT, launched since 1964.
The ATS GT features a race-inspired engine hood, dynamic rear wing, and high-tech aerodynamics fit for its modern design. Underneath, the ATS GT is powered by a McLaren-derived 3.8L V8 Twin Turbo engine but tuned to over 700 horsepower and up to 553lb-ft of torque. Mated to a seven-speed DCT, it gets through 0-60mph in three seconds and onwards to 206mph, making it on par with the Ferrari 488 and the Lamborghini Huracan.
Like most anti-establishment supercars, the ATS GT is limited to 12 units.
The ATS GT is nothing like any supercar I have ever experienced before because its performance is worth attention-grabbing to those who wield it and in the scale of Ridge Racer-esque driving style, it puts between Standard and Dynamic, meaning it can be either well-balanced or tricky to drive, depending on the weather, but since it's snowing like crazy, it's best to be labeled Dynamic for the fun of it.
Letting the McLaren-derived V8 Twin Turbo engine purr, the ATS GT really shows its colors as the anti-establishment supercar and for those who had enough of big-name supercars, the ATS GT is worth checking out because it delivers establishment-level performance in so many levels and whichever you want to do with it, the ATS GT is more than happy to be driven than to be known because this incognito supercar is made for such purpose.
Now that I got my word with the ATS GT, it's time to take it for a spin to see how it's made, even if its cold outside in the dead of winter.
It may be cold outside but the ATS GT performed a great job kissing the establishments goodbye.
Like most unknown supercars that lay their fingers on the establishment, the ATS GT is a supercar that is on par with the Ferrari 488 and Lamborghini Huracan and with such performance, the incognito supercar has lots of surprises in store for the chosen few and whatever surprises it come across, the ATS GT sure knows how to make first impressions last.
Enjoy your new ride.
