Osca 2500GT Dromos
Subaru 2457cc flat four engine : 187 bhp : 2001
In 1999 there emerged a new car with the OSCA badge on the bonnet
The OSCA name had been sold to MV Agusta in 1963 but was resurrected by GMP Automobili srl, the car originally known as the 2500GT then later christened 'Dromos'. Financial backing came from a Japan businessman with Colucci (ex-Abarth), Spada (ex-Zagato designer), Luca Zagato (son of Gianni) and others involved.
The car was an all new small (4090mm long, 1150mm high and 1760mm wide) two seat coup? powered by a Subaru 2457cc flat four engine (tuned by STi to give 187bhp) positioned behind the cockpit. The chassis was built by a reborn Touring using their famous superleggera construction with a multitude of small diameter steel tubes. Suspension was by double wishbones all round and the rest of the car followed such competition based trends.
An ultra light weight of 680kg (45% front/55% rear) promised more than adequate performance. A single running prototype was built and tested by various magazines in 2001 but nothing more came of the project.
