Maker of mega-hardcore (and mega-expensive) German supercars, Gumpert, is set to unveil a second model - the Tornante - at the Geneva motor show in a few weeks time.
Presumably partly in a bid to take some of the shine off the new Pagani Huayra, Gumpert has commissioned Italian carrozzeria (we could say 'coachbuilder', but the Italian sounds so much better) Touring Superleggera to create a less-hardcore two-seat 'touring' model.
The car will be based around a new chassis, with a mid-mounted V8 powerplant. Or, in the endearingly Germanic words of the Gumpert press release, the Tornante will be "based on a new central engine chassis and V8-powered driveline".
The body, meanwhile, will be composite panels on a spaceframe, with a carbon fibre monocoque beneath.
Gumpert isn't giving away anything more concrete about the car, other than the fact that the German company has "requested the Milanese designer to add space, elegance and comfort to their typical sheer performance attitude".
We'll know more, presumably, when the wraps come off the car at the Geneva motor show in March.
