UPDATED Video : Mastretta MXT - 1st Sportscar from MEXICO
July 21, 2008
Who would have thought? From commercial bus manufacturing and drinking bottle designing, the same company has come up with the Mastretta MXT, claimed to be the first-ever car designed and built in Mexico.
Developed in house by the Mastretta design team, the MXT project has benefited from a two year collaboration program between Mastretta and engineering companies based in England and the USA (I won’t be surprised it it’s Lotus!).
It’s a 900kg lightweight sports coupe, with a 2.0-litre Ford Duratec engine driving its rear wheels to offer nearly 240bhp and 184lb-ft, a top speed of 150mph and 0-60mph in less than five seconds. The MXT is a two seat, mid engine sports car Mastretta Design intend to sell in both local and international markets.
Constructed around a semi-monocoque chassis of bonded aluminium, the MXT has fibreglass body panels and double-wishbone suspension front and rear; it has a quick-ratio steering rack, ventilated disc brakes and ABS, plus a leather-trimmed interior.
The MXT will start full production in January 2009 and deliveries are scheduled for May 2009.
ARRIBA ARRIBA ANDALE!
