| ALTO was present in WTCC (World Touring Car Championship) in Oporto, in one project of the ISEP (Oporto's Superior Institute of Engineering), to present a Barchetta Bi-Place, of projection and national production. ISEP, through Eng. er Luis Miranda and a former-student, Eng. er Claudio Dias, presented the final version of a Barchetta with an engine of 1000cc by basis. This project was initiated in 2008, in the scope of an mechanic engineering course of this Institute, where ALTO already collaborated in a first model of this Barchetta, among others partners. The contribution of ALTO was on the development and production of the chassis in glass fiber reinforced plastic. The chassis was adapted to the requirements of a classic style and a modern chassis and in accordance with the actual regulations. This project had enormous acceptance for the presents, national and foreign public, where the polish and detail of the classic lines of the chassis were substantially mentioned. |
