MAKING A RETURN TO EUROPE
The 2019 Corsica Cheetah, previously presented at the North American International Auto Show 2019, makes its European debut
Welcome to the Corsica booth in Geneva! The last time we were here was in 2009, after which we sadly had to discontinue all sales in Europe.
However, the Corsica Motor Company is making a grand return to Europe, featuring new dealership locations and all-new models to come. In our presentation, we will announce and explain our plan for 2019 and 2020.
In November of 2018, construction began at the Sisten/Taluvec dealerships located in England, Scotland, Germany, Sweden, Finland, Iceland and Estonia to expand them to fit the fleet of Corsica.
These seven locations are the starting point of our expansion and will be ready for business by Q3 of 2019. After these dealerships, our next focus will be on the dealers located in Latvia, Lithuania, Russia, Norway, Albania, Ukraine, Italy and France. Certain locations in the fore mentioned countries are already being converted to also carry Corsica models and all of the locations will be finished by early 2020.
Corsica, as is with Sisten and Taluvec in these markets, will not be marketed as a mainstream manufacturer in Europe. Instead, every dealership will receive approximately five to ten versions of each model. The customer can use the online car configurator to design their model, which will be completed in the United States and shipped over to the dealer where the customer can take delivery of their brand-new Corsica.
And with that, we conclude the presentation on our plan to return to Europe. Thank you for attending.

But you didn’t think that was the only reason we came here, did you?
The 2019 Corsica Wildcat.
For a moment, let’s forget the “Crossover Craze” and let us focus on the cars that actually mean something to drive. These are the fun, throw-around and exciting vehicles that you can always depend on.
For 2019, the Corsica Wildcat roadster is making a return.
A DESIGN PLEASING TO THE EYE
The new Wildcat is a return to the name last seen in 2009 and our first model to use the “Smooth Fade” design philosophy. Characterized by pointed-out flares alongside smooth and powerful body lines, Smooth Fade will be followed by with every new Corsica to come.
With powerful LED lights in the front and an attractive lightbar at the rear, it guarantees that people will take notice while still being subtle.
POWER THAT ATTRACTS
Taking advantage of an all-new 2.4 liter naturally aspirated Inline-5 engine, the Wildcat speeds from 0-62 mph in just 6.1 seconds and does the 1⁄4 mile race in 14 seconds.
Every Wildcat is equipped with Double Wishbone suspension in the front, Multilink at the rear. This combination provides not only the sportiest of feels, but also outstanding ride comfort.
THE DRIVETRAIN, PERFECTED
The genesis of the Wildcat starts with lightness, a rule that has not been forgotten. Thanks to cutting edge weight-saving measures, this cat comes in at only 1230 kilograms. One of these is taking great advantage of the all-new Space Light™ chassis, specially developed for the Wildcat.
Sculpted from Aluminium, it allows for the shell to be as light as possible while still maintaining the feel of a proper sports car.
For 2019, it is available to be optioned with either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed Dual-Clutch transmission, with each bringing their own excitement into the game.
SUPERSPORT
2019 will feature one trim version: the Supersport. With such standard equipment as Advanced Highway Cruise Control and LED front lights, the model starts at just $22,500 (6-speed) or $24,000 (7-speed DCG). Other standard features include backup cameras, heated seats with ventilation, a heads-up display and a heated steering wheel.
