Artega GT
We’re still trying to chase down the press kit for this hot little number, but we thought we’d show you what turned out to be one of the unexpected highlights of our show… the Henrik Fisker designed Artega GT.
Given Herr Fisker’s more…ummm… contrived extravagant designs (see his Tramonto and Latigo CS for details), we were more than pleased to see this punchy, organic little coupe gracing the show floor. Perhaps it isn’t the most original shape—we see more than a few shades of Lotus, Porsche and Aston here, but that’s hardly a bad place to start, and the design is certainly distinct enough to stand on its own. Certainly we weren’t the car’s only admirers. Despite having a one-car booth, the Artega was seemingly beset from all sides by camera-wielding journalists.
The concept, which is powered by a 300-horsepower 3.6-liter V-6 (believed to be sourced from Volkswagen), heralds Fisker’s pending arrival at a lower pricepoint under a new and different brand– both of which sound great to us as well. Artega isn’t actually an all-new name, it’s been a supplier to various car companies for some time now. However, this is the first time we can recall them taking a shot at branding an entire vehicle.
