1964 ATS 2500 GTS

Produced by Automobili Turismo e Sport in Bologna, Italy, the 2500 GTS was one of the first GT cars to feature a mid-engine layout. This design allowed for a rather unconventional, cab-forward architecture complemented by a subtle and elegant styling. Its competition-bred power train is a 2.5-liter V-8, which makes 245 hp. This example, chassis number 2006 owned by Bruce Milner of California, was awarded with Best of Show by the Rolex Circle of Champions at the 2017 Quail Motorsports Gathering (and was named Best of Show at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance 16 years ago).
