Puritalia 427 Roadster with aluminium chassis Launched in Italy

Over two years has passed since the Puritalia 427 first came to the world’s attention, but the Italian sports car has finally arrived.

Launched in Italy, the 427 is a two-seat roadster with styling reportedly inspired by the Shelby Cobra, and a 5.0 litre Ford V8 under the bonnet to firm the connection.

Drive is sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission, a limited-slip differential and an aluminium driveshaft.

The chassis is also aluminium sitting beneath a body made from carbon-fibre, which helps to keep weight down to 1150kg.

No mention on price at this stage or how many 427s will be built, nor the car’s 0-100km/h time, fuel consumption or option packages.

Puriatlia says “if you can dream it, we can build it”, and is usually kept busy hand-crafting cars for customers from its base in Napoli.
