Description
The Intermeccanica IMP 700 GT Coupé was a small, limited-production sports car built by the Italian-Canadian car manufacturer Intermeccanica in the early 1960s. It was powered by a BMW 700-derived engine, a rear-mounted 697 cc flat-twin that produced around 40 horsepower. This compact, lightweight design gave the car good handling and made it competitive in its class despite the relatively modest power output.
The IMP 700 GT was characterized by its sleek and sporty coupé body, designed by Franco Scaglione, known for his work on various exotic cars. The car had a fiberglass body, which contributed to its low weight and nimble driving characteristics. It was aimed at enthusiasts who desired a stylish and unique sports car with European flair.
Intermeccanica produced only a few of these cars, making them rare and sought after by collectors today. The combination of Italian design, a BMW engine, and limited production makes the Intermeccanica IMP 700 GT Coupé a fascinating piece of automotive history.
