The Mastretta MXT is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter Duratec inline-4 that produces 250 bhp at 5200 rpm and 250 lb.-ft. of torque that peaks at 3950. It comes mated to a MTX-75 5-speed manual gearbox. The car weighs only 2050 lb., thanks to the use of aluminum in the chassis and carbon fiber in the body. The suspension consists of upper and lower A-arms front and rear, while the steering via rack-and-pinion.
According to Mastretta, the MXT accelerates from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.9 seconds and reaches a top speed of 240 km/h (149 mph). Mastretta also says the MXT’s handling is first rate, the car able to generate 1.1g around a skidpad. Even with impressive numbers like those, the MXT is meant for everyday commuting on public roads. The asking price? About $60,000. Mastretta is expected to produce 200 cars per year.
