History

ATS 2500 GT

Founded by Count Giovanni Volpi and staffed by ex-Ferrari engineers including Carlo Chiti, ATS aimed to challenge Ferrari. The 2500 GT featured an advanced lightweight V8 and tubular chassis, but financial troubles limited production to just 12 units before the company folded in 1964.
