Source: AutoblogThe Florentine sports car builder Ermini is making its grand return to the public eye with the Seiottosei Barchetta at the Geneva Motor Show, after about 50 years of being gone. Its latest model blends an old-school philosophy with modern styling.
Barchetta means "little boat" in Italian and describes a whole niche of convertibles, popular in the 1950s and 1960s, that generally combined low weight and a small engine to give drivers great dynamics in a tiny package. The Seiottosei follows these attributes perfectly with a steel trellis chassis and carbon fiber panels that weigh just 1,512-pounds (686kg) total. Power is provided by a Renault-sourced turbocharged 2.0-liter, four-cylinder pumping out 315 horsepower, and six-speed sequential gearbox. Ermini claims it is enough to push the little roadster to 62 miles per hour in 3.5 seconds and to an electronically limited top speed of 168 mph.

Its rear is hideous.
Remember: Hacking, not cracking.
Yup, it looks a bit out of proportion. The name is more impressive than the models i think死の (Shino) wrote:Its rear is hideous.
But you see a lot of historical names popup again, some more succesful than others

Front looks great but the back looks like that of a TommyKaira ZZ-S.

Hunaudieres is the name of the long straight at Le Mans, also kwown as Mulsanne straight, where cars were running at speeds of well over 380 km/h before 2 chicanes were introduced to reduce those insane speeds.
