Mexican Mastretta targets UK with Lotus rival
Mexico has a massive automotive sector – but there have been few indigenous Mexican brands. Brothers Daniel and Carlos Mastretta mean to change that – and the car that bears their family name was one of the stars of the London Show. Daniel Mastretta says the Mastretta MXT is the first car ever to be designed and built in Mexico, and the brothers believe the sporty two-seater will be a strong rival to lightweight sports cars such as the Lotus Elise and Exige. And the UK will be the launch market for the car.
