Atalanta Sport Tourer - almost unique and very progressive sports car of the thirties

August 13, 2012 — Bruno von Rotz 63

Independent front and rear suspension, adjustable dampers, electrically selectable choke, three valves per cylinder, almost 100 hp from 1.5 liters of displacement - it all sounds more like modern times or at least the 1980s, but these attributes belonged to the Atalanta Sport Tourer of 1938! With these features, the Atalanta was probably one of the most modern cars that could be bought for use in normal road traffic at the time. This article tells the story of the Atalanta and shows a vehicle built in 1938 in many pictures, supplemented by historical images.
