Over two years has passed since the Puritalia 427 first came to the world’s attention, but the Italian sports car has finally arrived.
Launched in Italy, the 427 is a two-seat roadster with styling reportedly inspired by the Shelby Cobra, and a 5.0 litre Ford V8 under the bonnet to firm the connection.
The open-top production car is a close match to the original design concept from 2012.
Power from the Ford bent-eight is a worthy 332kW/530Nm, while a supercharged version is also available with an output of 451kW/650Nm.
Drive is sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission, a limited-slip differential and an aluminium driveshaft.
