| World debut | 2008 British International Motor Show | Mastretta MXT |
Mexico might not be an obvious automotive powerhouse, but the Mastretta brothers are hoping to change that with their MXT two-seater, mid-engined coupé. Power comes via a tried and tested Cosworth-tuned 2.0-litre, four-cylinder Ford engine, a turbocharger boosting output to 240bhp. With a kerb weight of around 900kg the company claims a 0-62mph time of less than five seconds. Neatly styled, convincingly packaged, this spicy little Mexican isn't likely to ever make a big impact in the UK, as fun as it may be.
