Atlas arrives at the New York International Auto Show with two cars, the new Atlas Zeta Hyper car and the Atlas Omega SUV.
Starting off with the Atlas Zeta, the Latest hyper car to come out of Atlas Automotive.
The Atlas Zeta is a call back to the original Atlas Velocity that was sold in limited numbers back in 1972. Only 6 Atlas Zeta’s have been produced, each model has a plate with the signature of each engineer involved in its creations. The interior is made from high quality Carbon fibre and alcantara(think Sesto elemento) and is hand made just like everything else in the Zeta.
The engine in the Zeta is a 12 cylinder Flat engine(known as the Spirit series of flat egnines), an engine rarely seen in the automotive world anymore. 5.4L of displacement and ceramic titanium turbochargers as well as generous use of light weight titanium and aluminum within the engine itself allow it to reach an astronomical 1,100 BHP at 9900rpm. All that power is put through the C12 Competition Straight cut sequential gearbox and the advanced Razor All wheel drive system.
The brakes utilized are 6 piston brakes with carbon ceramic rotors to handle the extreme power generated by the Spirit flat engine. The Rims are carbon fibre racing rims that see use in several other cars including last years ST-R(which had a 2 model run). Sticky race tires and racing grade Aerodynamics help keep the Zeta glued to the asphalt with an average of 1.47g’s.
The Atlas Zeta is an exclusive car, #000(the car on display) is going to Atlas’ headquarters to sit in the main lobby alongside the original Velocity 7.36 edition, the Atlas Vector V16, and the first Atlas ST-R. The other 5 will be sold to private collectors.
