The Mexican company Mastretta Cars set the autospher abuzzed back in 2008 with the introduction of the MXT sports car concept. Now it has released images of the vehicle before its Paris Motor Show debut.
Few details have been released on the production-spec car, but if the final MXT is anything like the early pre-production prototypes, expect performance to be brisk. Early prototypes reportedly used a twincharged version of Volkswagen’s 2.0-liter I-4, but later demonstrators used Ford’s 2.0-liter turbocharged Duratec I-4, which will reportedly make its way into the production car. The turbo-Duratec produces a solid 240 horsepower, and coupled with a curb weight of 1980 pounds (courtesy of both a fiberglass body and an aluminum frame), the MTX could possibly post 0-60 mph times in roughly five seconds.
Enthusiasts and Mastretta officials alike likely wish the road to production passed as quickly. The car first debuted at the 2008 British International Auto Show, where officials announced they’d build eighty cars the following year, all destined for the U.K. market. Plans now see 70 percent of the 150-car annual production run will be exported to the U.S. and Europe.

USE TECHNOLOGY TO YOUR ADVANTAGE!
TIRED OF PAYING ALOT FOR GAS? TIRED OF EXPENSIVE OIL CHANGES? TRY AMS!
I drive alot and I am sure alot of others here do the same. I used to pay for oil changes every 3-6k miles on regular oil/filter. I did some research and found that if you switch to AMS FULL Synthetic Oil you can change your Oil every 25,000-mile/one-year drain intervals. That means you can drive your vehicle on the same oil for 25,000 miles before having to change the filter and oil again! I purchase my Oil and Filter and then I just go to the local discount oil lube places with my oil and filter and just pay $15-20 dollars for the labor. That is not the only advantage of AMS synthetic oil you also save on GAS! Industry tests demonstrate an average conservative decrease in fuel consumption by two to five percent by switching to synthetic lubricants. Many AMSOIL customers report even larger gains in fuel economy!
