The production aim is for 500 units a year, all for sale in Europe, though America is a longer-term objective. The GT is a mid-engined car built with an aluminium space-frame and powered by the same 297bhp, 3.6-litre Volkswagen V6 engine that fires-up the range-topping Passat CC.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;">The GT’s compactness makes it light: it’s tipped to weigh around 1170kg at the kerb and undercut a Porsche by around 10 percent.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KwPddOVnBpE/SVc_bw9EEkI/AAAAAAAAAO0/u05YeTpsjtQ/s1600-h/Artega+GT_02.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 234px; height: 155px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KwPddOVnBpE/SVc_bw9EEkI/AAAAAAAAAO0/u05YeTpsjtQ/s320/Artega+GT_02.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284762433972605506" border="0" /></a></p><h4>Engine</h4> <ul><li><strong>Layout</strong> <span style="font-weight: normal;">V6 , 3597 cc</span></li><li><strong>Max power</strong> <span style="font-weight: normal;">296 bhp</span></li></ul><h4>How fast?</h4> <ul><li><strong>0-62 mph</strong> <span style="font-weight: normal;">5 sec</span></li><li><strong>Max speed</strong> <span style="font-weight: normal;">168 mph</span></li></ul><span style="font-weight: normal;">From <a href="http://autocar.co.uk/CarReviews/FirstDrives/Artega-GT-3.6-V6/234088/">autocar.co.uk</a><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1343037414620482278-5108529907901966025?l=roedy-artega.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Roedyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00975857679150274820noreply@blogger.com0
