The design of the compact “barchetta” is being developed by a team at Ermini Automobili Italia and designer Giulio Cappellini who, “not hailing from the specific automotive sector and therefore not being influenced by it, will be able to design a car using the straightforward concept of “beauty” as a springboard.”The Ermini 686 will adopt a carbon fiver body and a number of advanced technologies.According to the company, the automobile will be available in late 2013 and “will remain highly consistent with the constructing philosophy that has always been associated with Ermini Automobili Italia , which became famous for prioritizing the dynamic drive of light and nippy cars over the inertial mass of automobiles with large engines.”
