Artega GT roadster

This year, Artega’s parent company, Paragon, will bring the next iteration of the GT to Geneva, and if the rumors are true, the coupe will lose its roof.

The same Volkswagen-sourced 3.6-liter V6 will be mounted amidships, sending 300 horsepower through a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox on its way to the rear wheels. Both left- and right-hand-drive versions will be available, and – depending on whether Artega opts for a soft-top or retractable hard-top – the curb weight shouldn’t be significantly higher than the 2,400-pound GT.

Paragon has made it clear that the Artega GT’s success is dependent on global availability, and the U.S. market is the linchpin. Rumor has it that the first Stateside order has already come in from a customer in NYC, so we might see the Artega – in both coupe and cabrio form
