Kiska Is Bringing Their Lancia Stratos-Inspired APG-1 To Existence
by AutoExpert | 26 December, 2022
A fascinating new sports vehicle, the APG-1, was showcased a few months ago by a relatively unknown manufacturer called Kiska. In December, claims surfaced that the automobile would be manufactured, and a slew of fresh pictures were also shared.
The APG-1 started as a concept study meant to demonstrate Kiska's capacity to conceptualize, create, and construct aspirational and emotive brands anchored in real aspirations.
To get the APG-1 off the ground, the company has to set up a coachbuilding network. KTM's brand-new X-Bow GT-XR served as inspiration for the APG-1. Hence, we may assume that it is supported by a carbon fiber monocoque and propelled by an Audi-derived 2.5-liter turbocharged five-cylinder engine.
This engine produces 500 horsepower at 6,350 rpm and 428 lb-ft of torque at 5,500 rpm in the X-Bow GT-XR, and it probably has comparable output specifications in the APG-1. The mid-engined sports automobile was designed by Alan Derosier, who drew inspiration from the original Lancia Stratos. The distinctive front wheel arches and canopy top are unmistakable visual cues that evoke the Stratos. Pricing and availability have not yet been determined.
