€74,983 ($118,353 USD) may sound like a lot of money to invest in something with a Volkswagen engine, but vintage Porschephiles understand that this shouldn’t be an immediate disqualifier.

In this case, that sum will get our European readers the thoroughly beautiful Artega GT , a voluptuous coupe powered by a 300-horsepower version of Veedub’s 3.6-liter V-6, an engine more commonly found in the Passat. One of Henrik Fisker’s more attractive designs in recent years, the Artega GT will come standard with VW’s lauded dual-clutch transmission, which should help the car run to 62 miles-per-hour in under 5 seconds and on to a top speed of 168 mph.

With just 500 GTs slated for production, we’re guessing that parent company Paragon will find enough eager takers willing to overlook the drivetrain’s plebian origins.
