The company was formed by Carlo Chiti and Giotto
Bizzarrini, among
others – intending for it to be a direct competitor to Ferrari both on the race
track and on the street. Chiti and Bizzarrini built, with sponsorship from the Scuderia Serenissima's Count Giovanni Volpi, a road-going sports car and a Formula One racing
car. The sports car was the ATS 2500 GT, a small coupé developed
by Chiti and Bizzarrini with a Franco Scaglione-designed bodywork built by Allemano. The engine was a mid-mounted 2.5 L V8 engineered by Chiti, capable of achieving
245 hp (180 kW) and accelerating to 257 km/h (160 mph ). Only 12 cars were reportedly built,
and few exist today. Apart from being one of the first mid-engine sports cars (the René-Bonnet
Djet in France is said to have beaten it to the market by a
few months), 2500 GT never gained fame or popularity, but its 90 degree DOHC V8 with
a flatplane crankshaft
was later developed into Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 engine
in 2 L ,
2.5 L and 3 L
formats by Carlo Chiti at
Autodelta. The F1 car was the Tipo 100, a
1.5 L V8 engine powering a chassis that was a virtual copy of the outdated Ferrari 156. Drivers Phil Hill and Giancarlo Baghetti, also fleeing from Ferrari during a period of
political turmoil, were signed to drive the new car, but a dismal 1963 Formula One season forced
Chiti to close the door on the racing team. The ATS would later be used in the Derrington-Francis project
spearheaded by the Rob Walker Racing Team's former chief mechanic, Alf Francis.
