GTM Rossa

The GTM Rossa is a special kind of car called a kit car. That means you can buy all the parts and build it yourself, like a giant LEGO set! It's designed to look super sporty and fun. Think of it as a cool project that ends up with a real car you can drive. It's not as big as a school bus, but it's definitely built for speed and excitement!

This awesome car was dreamed up by a designer named Richard Oakes. He wanted to make a car that was exciting and a little bit different. The first GTM Rossa cars were made between 1987 and 1990. Then, they made a Mark 2 version starting in 1990 with some cool updates to its look, like new lights on the back!

One of the coolest things about the GTM Rossa is that it's built on a Mini car's frame. This means it's strong and zippy! It also has a roof that you can take off, so you can feel the wind in your hair on a sunny day. It's like having two cars in one: a cool coupe and a fun convertible!

The GTM Rossa is built in a clever way. It uses two front parts from a Mini car, called subframes, and connects them with a strong middle part made of a material called fiberglass. This makes the car light and strong. The steering is also specially designed to work with this unique setup, making it handle really well on the road.
