GTM becomes part of Potenza....

[Ferg]

GTM Sports Cars Ltd., has taken new ownership under the parent company Potenza Sports Cars, owners of Westfield Sportscars

Interesting. I'd say they'd compliment each other rather well.

Cool - I agree the model offerings compliment well, even if style is very different. I would hope that both companies do well with cross promotion and GTM using the Westfield dealers to also demo their cars (Barnet's TVR Centre for example).

I hope this leads to some more innovation and cross company talk at all levels for both companies (while both retaining their own independence), and doesn't turn out to be just something in writing that means it's a different day, same old for the workers.

Definately good news for both companies I would have thought.

Having a significant parent company like that will bring stability and opportunity for growth that the normal business in this sector will struggle to ever realise.

Good luck to both of them, it will be very interesting to watch the developments as Potenza continues to play an ever increasing role within the industry.

It will be interesting to see if GTM look at replacing the Libra rather than just messing about with it cosmetically......

Looks like the first casualty of the take over is the Ballsita!

The Ballista project is still going ahead and should appear in 2009. The Larini based project is being sold to make way for a sharper, clean-sheet design.
