Atalanta Motors is a British car company created in 2011 by Martyn Corfield to relaunch the dormant 1930s Atalanta which stopped production due to the war[1] after a production run of only 21 cars.[2]

Initially announcing the rebirth of the marque in 2012 with the retro-designed Sports Tourer,[3] Atlanta Motors displayed another car at the 2014 Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court Palace,[4] but production models have yet to be announced. The production is limited to 10 cars a year.[5]

The new Atalanta is built from hand-beaten aluminium panels over an ash wood chassis, with a claimed 90 per cent of the components designed and engineered in-house. The Atalanta features disc brakes, rack and pinion steering and is powered by a 2.5-litre 4-cylinder engine producing 2140NaN0.[6]
