Sports car importer, Lifestyle Automotive, will bring the Mexican designed and built Mastretta MXT to the UK in May 2009.

The £32,999 two-seater sports car will hit a top speed of 150mph and reach 0-60mph in under five seconds. The MXT is powered by a 240bhp 2.0-litre turbocharged Duratec engine.

Lifestyle Automotive is the company licensed to import and distribute the cars in Europe.

The MXT will receive its world debut at the British International Motor Show next week. Tom Martin, Lifestyle Automotive managing director, said: "Customers who place orders at the show will be able to register their cars in May next year.

"We should complete Vehicle Certification Agency testing by October and RHD production, which is limited to 80 cars in the first full year, will start by January."
