PGO's Cévennes Speedster goes on sale in Europe
PGO Cvennes Speedster
PGO has a reputation of making replica sports cars, Porsche 365 being one of them. Porsche's lineage can clearly be seen in PGO's new Cévennes Speedster.
Cévennes, as of now, has been tagged for sale in Europe. There are minor modifications to the exterior but its technicals have been completely changed. The Cévennes comes with a turbocharged and direct-injected 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine sourced from BMW. The engine is mounted in a mid-engine position and delivers 181Hp at 240Nm of torque.
With a kerb weight of just close to a tonne, the engine makes good use of its body-to-weight ratio. Top speed is estimated at 225kmph. Power goes to the rear wheels given to a six-speed manual transmission.
PGO claims to have improved rigidity of the car by 15 per cent. It also get new suspension systems, with MacPherson struts installed both in front and rear. The Cévennes get 17-inch wheels.
There has been no word on the pricing yet.
While we'd love to see more replicas like this in India, there's no word on wether this speedster will ever make it to our shores. There are others, however. Check out our stories on the Deronda Type F.
