Imperia GP retro car

This is a 2012 Imperia GP sports coupe. It's made in Belgium by an old motoring manufacturer (Imperia) that died out in the 1950's. The company was resurrected in 2008 and this is their first design, a hybrid petrol/electric car. It has both a turbocharged 1.3 litre petrol engine and an electric engine. They claim 123 miles per gallon (about 45 km per litre) with this combination, and a 0 to 60 mph time of 4 seconds.

Apart from their claims I just think they have nicely captured the spirit of the old and the new look in cars, particularly with that satin black finish. Other colours are grey, white, maroon, and maybe yellow. Price is expected to be around US$165,000.




This is a 1938 Imperia:

Mmmmmm , I'm liking the look of that very much though the grille is a little too big and vacant for my tastes .

not 100% I like it or not,if it had smaller grill opening

I prefer the old one.
I've got the hat to drive it (according to Bryce & Paul). I'd just need a sports jacket, pipe & cravat.
