Zetini Limited, headquartered in Wellington, New Zealand, proudly unveiled the Zetini Haast on May 18, 2013—an exceptional hand-built barchetta with an aluminum body. Conceived and designed by Martin Foster, the CEO and Founder of Zetini Limited, the car seamlessly merges contemporary environmental considerations with timeless class and style. Graphic design by Adrian Lamb and suspension by Pfadt Race Engineering further enhance its appeal.
The meticulously handcrafted lightweight aluminum body pays homage to the golden era of the two-door convertible barchetta. Powertrain options include an E-ROD 6.2L LS3 engine (430hp, 424 ft.-lbs. of torque) or an E-ROD 7.0L LS7 engine (505hp, 470 ft.-lbs. of torque), both praised by General Motors Performance Group for efficiency, environmental consciousness, and emission compliance.
The Getrag 6-speed manual transaxle ensures optimal weight distribution, and high-performance Brembo brakes and custom three-piece forged alloy wheels with hexagon center nuts complement the car's performance features.
The Zetini Haast, priced at $165,590.00 New Zealand Dollars for the 6.2L engine variant, comes with a six-month lead time from the deposit receipt. Martin Foster, expressing his vision, stated, "The continuous evolution of advanced design, coupled with a strong connection to our target market, ensures Zetini remains at the forefront of true high-performance automobiles and yachts."
