I would like more details on that truck and its engine. But with just 160 horsepower, I doubt it will have enough torque to be a competitive offering in the utility market.
Edit: 160 horsepower might be enough for Europe (especially Italy), but elsewhere? I’m not so sure, unless this vehicle was explicitly targeted at the lower end of the market (which I suspect it is).
I will upload more details about the truck and it’s engine. The engine has only 160 hp because it is designed for the European Market, specifically for the Italian market!
Well, I’m not home right now and I can’t remember what the price was. Tomorrow I’ll give you more information. Also, it was in my plans to do a turbo version of this naturally aspirated engine! @abg7 tomorrow I will update the info, I promise you!
Considering that the Aspromonte was released in 2017, all-steel construction, a five-speed gearbox and a port-injected engine all seem behind the times by now, but I get the point of using them - although it would have been tempting to use an aluminum body, a gearbox with 6 ratios (or more) and direct fuel injection, all of them would have required more production units and/or engineering time. At any rate, this little truck clearly shows plenty of promise!
