Mexico-based industrial design company Mastretta has recently revealed its new MXT sports racer. Designed and developed entirely in-house at the company's headquarters in Mexico City, the MXT is aimed to compete against other more established rivals in both the domestic Mexican market and internationally.
Now in the final stages of development, the new car will undergo various prototype and specification testing before it is officially launched at the International Mexico City Auto Show in December this year. A state of the art facility is currently being built to assemble the 150 units the company will build initially, with the first production-ready models expected to hit the streets in the first quarter of 2008.
