Definitely Ginetta, right? G33?

It does look remarkably like one I agree, so much so that I thought there must be a connection.
But that's not what it is and the maker makes no mention at all of Ginetta!

What do you mean?

What's this - ATS Leggera.
By whom - ATS, revived few years ago Automobili Turismo Sport (they moved to Canary Islands this year).
Licence for Leggera was sold to another company.

Yes, OK.
I thought it was possible to say a bit more about who was behind it but it seems not.
It's powered by a 2.2 litre Honda 4-cyl engine and they're only intending to make five.
It's said to be a revival of the old etceterini type of car - small barchetta with very low weight.

This is what they claim:

QUOTE
The ATS LEGGERA is born with the idea to revive the concept of Italian sports car that now disappeared but that is still alive in the memories of millions of fans. A tribute to the knowledge of how to build works of art on four wheels typically Italian together with the use of modern components and engineering solutions. The beauty of unity to performance and security.
UNQUOTE

Still not sure why it looks like a clone of the Ginetta G4...

A couple more pics:

Gianluca Gregis appears to be behind the seldom-mentioned Siata revival from 2013, as well as the current ATS revival.  In one car forum, his profile used to say:

I'm owner of some new brands: ATS Automobili Turismo Sport S.I.A.T.A. Auto

I haven't found any online information which directly mentions ATS and Siata together.  Perhaps they decided Siata wasn't exotic enough and decided to go with ATS.
