Visually, the 21st century Sports Tourer stays true to its predecessor thanks to features like a mesh radiator grille, a short two-piece windshield, wire wheels and headlights mounted in large chrome buckets. The body is made entirely out of aluminum and the car sits on tall, skinny tires that add to the period-correct look.
Under the skin, Atalanta’s engineers have incorporated modern materials and technology to ensure the car is safe and reliable. The chassis remains carefully crafted using specially-treated wood, but the original car’s four drum brakes have been replaced with more efficient discs all around. The steering and the suspension components are evolutions of the original design.
The Atalanta Sports Tourer will go on sale in England shortly. The company has not revealed how much the roadster will cost or how many examples it is planning on building.
