Atalanta

  • United Kingdom

Atalanta Motors, a British car company founded in 2011 by Martyn Corfield, embarked on a mission to revive the dormant 1930s Atalanta marque, which ceased production during the war after manufacturing just 21 cars.

The marque's resurgence was officially announced in 2012 with the introduction of the retro-designed Sports Tourer. At the 2014 Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court Palace, Atalanta Motors showcased another car, though specific production models were yet to be disclosed. The company limited its annual production to 10 cars.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the new Atalanta featured hand-beaten aluminum panels mounted over an ash wood chassis. Impressively, approximately 90 percent of the components were designed and engineered in-house. Noteworthy attributes included disc brakes, rack and pinion steering, and propulsion by a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine generating 214 bhp (160 kW; 217 PS).
