Artega GT
Two versions and configuration packages are presented by Artega on its third participation of the Geneva Autosalon. Just in time Artega can announce the EU-standard fuel consumptions. Using Euro 4 standard, this is only 8.9 l (Super Plus ROZ 98)/100 km which matches a CO2 emission rate of 211 g/km. Also in the EU-standard Euro 5 it sets a sign in the sports car segment with only 9.1 l (Super Plus ROZ 98)/100 km. Artega also presents the very good performance of the latest crash tests. Artega managing director Klaus Dieter Frers sees a confirmation of the development efforts. "We fully focus on quality and every day usability and extend our efforts far beyond the legal regulations for small series production." Artega presents two cars on the noticeably larger booth in Geneva: the initial series "Intro 2008" with a special paint finish Tiefseeblau and the series model Artega GT with special paint finish Korallenorange, a color tuned decoration bead in the cockpit a bleaky leather steering wheel and a full leather fitting.
Outstanding crash test results
An exemplary development effort was realized by Artega before the start of the series production of the premier model Artega GT. Besides CAD construction, complex simulation evaluations, wind tunnel and climate tests as well as extensive drive testing on road, test and race tracks a series of crash tests was also a part of it. During the latest crash test, an offset test with 40% vehicle coverage (see ECE R 94) on the test range of Continental the Artega GT achieved outstanding results. The passenger cabin as well as the underbody inclusively leg area stayed intact, the airbags operated as intended, no dislocation of the steering column took place the front windscreen was almost undamaged, the tank in the front stayed intact and both doors allowed opening by hand without tools. The measured injury valuation stayed clearly beyond legal regulations. The enjoyable conclusion: The aluminium spaceframe and the complexly constructed crash box of the new German sports car work together in a highly efficient way.
