I had never heard of Ermini before yesterday morning. Based in Florentine, Italy, the automaker made a name for itself back in the 1960’s (and prior). For the last 50 years, though, the Italian automaker has produced a whole lotta nada.
The company is looking to make a comeback with a recently announced model: the Ermini 686 Seiottosei Roadster. Although details are a bit on the sparse side, in addition to the renderings you’re seeing here, the following details have surfaced in various places:
Design is being undertaken by a joint effort between Giulio Cappellini and the Ermini Design Team- Rear-engine setup rumored to be a 2.0-liter, 16-valve, 4 cylinder, dual turbocharger power plant sourced from Renault
- 295 hp with a 0.19 horsepower-per-pound rating
- 0 to 62 mph in an estimated 3.4 seconds and top speed of 167 mph
- All wheel drive
- Tubular space frame
- Extensive use of carbon fiber
The Ermini 686 Seiottosei Roadster is estimated to run around €55,000 when released for sale in 2013. Where it will be offered is yet to be determined.
This is one fine looking automobile, in my opinion. It promises to be a screamer and turn heads at the same time.
