Speedster
II and Cevennes – really cool sports cars
PGO
Automobiles is France's most exclusive
sports car manufacturer
with a history
stretching back more than twenty years. The classic, retro
styling of Speedster II and Cevennes models has encouraged
several admirers
to declare PGO “the most beautiful sports cars ever” but
PGO is about performance as well as looks.
Top
Gear often extol the absence of ABS and traction control
in sports cars so fortunately PGOs have neither but they do
have a
crash-tested
spaceframe, something not found on all hand built sporting
automobiles even the expensive ones. Combined with
a mid-mounted engine this
ensures solidity and surefootedness that were appreciated
by Roger Green of EVO Magazine:
“ It’s
obvious from the moment you pull away that
the whole car
has been well engineered.
The fit and finish are first rate, there
are no shakes, shimmies
or rattles and it feels at least
as good as a product from a major manufacturer. More to the point,
it
rides
beautifully and yet corners hard and fast with minimal
body roll. It hangs on well through the
bends, keying into the
tarmac
and
slingshotting
out with little fuss or wasted effort”
