Although there are two weeks until the Geneva Motor Show, Gumpert has decided to present the first photos of the future Tornante, a supercar announced by the German officials. Designed by the Italians from Carozzeria Touring Superleggera, the lines of the future Torne betray a model that will have great success among those who appreciate exotic models.

The premiere announced by Gumpert is actually a concept that will anticipate the production version of the supercar, scheduled to be launched in 2012. Under the hood, the Gumpert Tornante concept presented in Geneva, will have an engine of Audi origin, a 4.2 liter V8 bi-turbo, modified to develop 700 HP. The unit will be assisted by a TT40 transmission with paddles behind the steering wheel, which will manage the resources and help to achieve some enviable performance.

The new Gumpert Torne will benefit, in addition to the Italian design, from a special project dedicated to the interior design that will ensure a ergonomic specific to the exotic segment. The Gumpert already confirmed that the body of the Tornante supercar will me made of carbon fiber and aluminum structure.

The manufacturer is planning to release on the market only 11 units each hiding under the hood 777 horsies that can run to 60 mph in only 3.4 seconds. The car uses a 4.4-liter four-valve V8 engine matched to a six-speed semiautomatic (that’s almost .10 liter larger than the one used for the Ferarri 430 model).

When it comes to wheels the TuLesto’s 20 or 21-inch boots resemble a lot to the ones worn by the Lamborghini especially if you consider their ceramic composite brakes and the six-piston fixed calipers.

Happy Anniversary Novitec!

The car looks absolutely astonishing. Let’s get started.

The basalt fiber chassis is 100% recyclable and the (O)LED technology handles both the driver exterior lightning as well as the safety of your fellow drivers by displaying the important road-related details (road conditions, crossing pedestrians, etc) on its big display on the back. This entire concept is a huge open-source project and the developers are taking into consideration every new technology available on the market.

On the inside there’s a lot of free space because this baby uses in-wheel motors.

Stay tuned for more information on pricing and release date.

For 2009, Wiesmann wants to increase the output from 250 to 350 units and they plan to do all that only on the European market.
