Perana Z-One Inches Closer to Release
Superformance Distribution is now the US distributor of the exclusive Perana Z-One coupe that will be unveiled at this year’s Concorso Italiano that will be held on the Laguna Seca Golf Ranch in Monterey, CA on August 13, 2010. Shown for the first time as a concept at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show, the Perana Z-One was built after the Perana Performance Group commissioned the iconic Italian coachbuilders, Zagato, to create an avant-garde design for a new sports coupe. The car was first only going to be sold in Europe, the UK and the UAE, but a strong response by American consumers will bring it to the US market with only 99 units coming to the States each year.
Starting just a bit under $100,000, the Perana Z-One was designed to be powered by either the latest emission compliant “E-Rod” GM LS3 (436 hp) or LS7 (505 hp) engine matched with a 6-speed transmission. peranausa.com
