Italian Coachbuilders Revive the Willys Interlagos

Italian coachbuilders Maggiora and Carrozzeria Viotti have used this week’s 2014 Bologna Motor Show as the platform to debut the revival of the Willys Interlagos from the 1960s, itself a re-badged version of the Renault Alpine A108, widely considered Brazil’s first sports car. The 2015 Willys Interlagos will go into production starting next month, in a limited run of 110 cars. Each will pack a six-speed gearbox connected to a twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter flat-six engine mounted in the rear. An impressive 610 horsepower output enables a 0-62 mph sprint time of just 2.7 seconds and a top speed of 212 mph.
