Artega GT Intro 2008 Model Launched at Geneva



Artega‘s GT Intro 2008 has come out in Geneva with a few special enhancements over its normal GT model these fittings are quite a number on the list, so we’ll touch on just a few. These include two distinct colours of Vanilla Yellow and Deep Sea Blue, the latter seen in these fine pictures.

Artega has chosen to go classical with the Intro 2008 models, especially inside where things may appear basic, but are beneath the surface quite sophisticated.

Forged lightweight wheels roll in Michelin tyres measuring 8“ x 19“ by the front side with 235/35 ZR 19 tyres and 10.5“ x 19“ at the back with 305/30 ZR 19 tyres.

Driver assistance is standard with ABS, however, the traction control system will only kick in in the spring of 2009. Artega GT works with a 3.6-litre V6 that does 220kW on the dyno using a 6-speed direct transmission gearbox to achieve its 0 – 100km/h time of under 5 seconds. It will only run out of breath at 270km/h. All 99 examples of this car are priced at €79,790/ USD121,879.





Press Release

Artega is launching the new Artega GT model on the market with an exceptional offer. The new German sports car is available in a strictly limited “Intro 2008” introductory series comprising 99 cars. The range of features is unique, extending far beyond that of the extremely all-inclusive range of Artega GT standard fittings. The “Intro 2008“ is available in two special colours, a distinctive-looking interior with ultra-lightweight forged rims and specifically- supplemented extras.
Numerous details of the “Intro 2008” will be reserved especially for this model. This includes the two special colours Vanille gelb and Tiefsee blau which spectacularly highlight the special style of the Artega GT (short, wide and low). The Artega “Intro“ forged lightweight wheels weighing less than 10 kg are designed in a five double-spoke look, diamond-turned and coated in a clear varnish. They roll with Pilot Sport PS2 N1 Michelin tyres (8“ x 19“ at the front with 235/35 ZR 19 tyres and 10.5“ x 19“ at the back with 305/30 ZR 19 tyres).
The interior look is demonstratively classical. In addition to a paragon cockpit system designed in the style of a sophisticated hi-fi set, the colours of the roof lining (Graphitgrau) and the microvelours carpeting and rear shelf (both in Carbonschwarz) also enhance this appearance.

Depending on the colour of the paintwork, the leather seat covers in Carbonschwarz come with the centre panel of the seats in “Ambiente“ velours in Graphitgrau, with the option of a Vanille gelb or Tiefseeblau raster pattern. The instrument panel, the centre tunnel and the door armrests are in leather and the door inlay is also in “Ambiente” velours. The diverse range of features also includes the paragon mobile-phone loading function used specifically for charging any of the standard models of business mobile phones.
The “Intro 2008” introductory series bears several markings. The side flanks and the gear cover have an “Intro 2008” badge with a serial number. “Intro 2008” lettering has also been applied to the entrance rail.
State-of-the-art electronic driver assistance systems promote safety. Like all the Artega GT models, the “Intro 2008“ is also equipped with ABS. The Artega stability program ASP and the TC traction control system have also been integrated and can be enabled in spring 2009.


The “Intro 2008“, with its wide range of extras, is available at an all-inclusive price of 79,790 euros, including VAT.
