I don't know who is responsible for the revival of Castagna in the mid 1990s, but they seem to survive by making one-off versions of production cars like the Mini.

What do you think of this Bentley GT shooting Brake CGI? (it is on their website)

....actually, I think already know what you will think of it.

Yeah, I guess you're right, their one-off productions do reel in big margins.

You read my mind about that CGT CGI.

Let's hope the car will look better than this thing:

That shouldn't be too difficult shonguiz.

I guess you are right.

yeah man i looked at the website yesterday..
and wow..they havent made one remoetly good looking car..
so lets see what they come up with now..

Hypersonic · 03-10-2007, 07:12 AM

I agree Artist.

I must remind you of this though (I have posted it before

)

It is a Mercedes-Benz 770K built by Castagna in 1931. It might be old ..but it still is as impressive as ever

German engineering meets the best Italian style

^yep that is hot indeed..

what i gather from this brand is that ppl come to them with their own designs..
and they realise their dreams
in that case those horrid cars arent their fault

The specs on this supercar seem very impressive indeed!

The only problem is not many people have heard of the brand, it will take a while for people to start trusting it enough to buy a car!

Castagna is a connoisseurs brand with a prestigious history. It shouldn't be too difficult to exploit its glamorous past to attract potential clients.

F248 style rear view mirrors!

Can't wait to see more of this car.
