Ermini 686


Most of us probably have no idea who or what Ermini is, but for those who do remember, it’s an Italian automaker that made a name for itself back in the 60’s. Over the past 50 years, the Italian car brand has been draped in covers, having produced a grand total of zero vehicles.

All that, though, is about to change because Ermini is looking at making a comeback with the new 686 sports car.

No official details have been released surrounding the 686, but it appears that the Florentine-based automaker is preparing it to be a rear-engined, all-wheel drive sports car that will carry a tubular space frame and a tuned-up suspension.

As for the design of the car, that will be made as a collaborative effort between Giulio Cappellini and Design Team Ermini, and will feature things like extensive use of carbon fiber and the use of racing brakes, shock absorbers, and a transmission unit.

Looking at the renderings of the car, it certainly looks like a stunning sports car. The overall profile is aggressive enough to be a real looker. The huge rear spoiler is a definite turn-on. Finally, you can’t go wrong with a two-seater convertible, right?
