    VLT Automotive Group N.V. (Storefront v.3)



    VLT Automotive

    Won Fir Die Welt
    Cars For The World

    In 1946, Van Luxemburgian Transportation B.V. was created by the Van Luxemburgian Government, in order to start up a domestic automobile industry after the Second World War. While Monteluci was still finishing the gigantic orders made by the Van Luxemburgian Military, Van Luxemburgian Transportation B.V. set up a major production line at a facility in Esch-sur-Alzette. A small car, the L3, was produced in the post-war years, boasting several characteristics from the Pre-war Porsche prototypes that had been transferred from Germany to Van Luxemburg Post-War.
    The model range was quickly expanded. The L3 was joined by the L4 Sportcoupé in 1951, and the L5 and L7 in 1957. Meanwhile, Monteluci, a legendaric Van Luxemburgian manufacturer Pre-War, had also taken up production of their own model range again, and put up fierce competition against the Esch-based company. It is estimated that around 20 million L3's were produced for the domestic market, of which few remain today. The L4 Sportcoupé has survived the time however, and it is estimated that there are around 5,000 L4's still on the Van Luxemburgian roads today. Most L5's and L7's haven't survived the ravages of time, due to the premature rust protection at the time.
    In the 1960's, Van Luxemburgian Transportation changed it's name to VLT Cars B.V., and launched the L6 in 1966 to celebrate it's 20 years of existence. The vehicle was not immensely popular, due to reliability issues, and above-average rust. However, it was an innovative vehicle, using double Weber carburettors to achieve 130 HP in it's 2.0 litre version. However, sales were not as high as expected, and the L6 was consequently dropped from the model range in 1972, with the last two years of production merely to use the part stocks that remained. In 1972, the whole programme was reintroduced, meaning completely new models of the L3, L4 Sportcoupé (which was now joined by a convertible), the L5 and L7.
    Like the rest of the world, Van Luxemburg had to cope with the 1973 Oil Crisis. Unlike Monteluci, VLT had already specialised in small cars, with only one 6-cylindre available, in the L7. Other cars used the old, but reliable 2.2 litre 4-cylinder, developing 115 HP. After the failure of the L6, the 130 HP 2-litre was completely removed from all new cars, due to reliability issues, leaving only the 2.2, 1.8, 1.4, 1.0, and the unforgettable 3.0 litre 6-cylinder, delivering 171 HP. The engines were relatively economical, and could run on the small amounts of petrol handed out at the fuel pump. Thanks to this, VLT managed to cope with the few cars sold in that year, and was able to survive through the hard years.
    During the late seventies, the model range was slowly changed again, but still, the basic names remained. In the meantime, VLT had reworked the 2.0 litre engine from the former L6, and improved it's reliability. The engine now developed 135 HP, and did prove it's worth in a new L5, which was launched in 1979. The vehicle was exceptionally fast for it's time, and was notorious for it's quick accelerations. In 1981, the L7 was first equipped with a new 4.2 litre V8 engine, developing around 279 HP, able to get the L7 to speeds of 225 kilometres per hour, an exceptional speed for a saloon car in the 1980's.
    By the mid-eighties, VLT had completely overcome the unprofitable seventies, and was back into producing high-powered cars. The L5 also became available with the 3.0 Litre V6, this time being supercharged and delivering 198 HP. Meanwhile, the L3 and L4 were also equipped with the 2.0 litre 135 HP engine, also available in a supercharged 165 HP version for the L4. In 1987, the L6 was re-introduced, this time also available with the 2.0 Litre 165HP, the 3.0 Litre V6 198 HP and the 3.0 Litre V6 Biturbo, delivering 228 HP. The vehicle was very popular, and still enjoys some form of popularity with VLTists nowadays.
    However, VLT began to feel the competition again, this time not from Monteluci, but from foreign companies. For the first time since 1973, VLT began to sell less cars in 1989, and could clearly feel the foreign companies breathing in it's neck. This problem was however overcome in 1995, when VLT acquired the licenses to produce all foreign vehicles destined for the Van Luxemburgian market. Since then, VLT's profit have exponentially increased, and export of VLT models to other nations has started in 2007. Currently, VLT is possibly one of the largest automobile manufacturers in the world.


    Monteluci: A separate story

    Monteluci is a company with a long racing history. It was founded by the Monteluci Family, most notably Gilberto Monteluci. In 1907, Gilberto built his first car, the Pangea. Quickly followed by multiple, more powerful models, Monteluci soon joined the top by winning several races since their entry into racing in 1913. His cars were the absolute benchmark in both luxury and speed, while also offering unparalleled driving dynamics. Gilberto was a frequent guest in all kinds of races around the world, especially when his cars participated. In 1934, he built the truly magical Tipo 188, which quickly conquered the racing world and lead the world’s most prestigious drivers to the finish in agonizing races of skill and tactics. The Tipo 188 was constantly improved to remain the world benchmark, and the vehicle remained top-notch until 1940, when the racing leagues were halted to favour the Second World War. During the war, Monteluci mainly constructed trucks and other light vehicles, to fulfil the large orders made by the national Armed Forces. During the war, Gilberto Monteluci died, 63 years of age, due to a fatal accident in the Monteluci factory in Venezia. After the war, Monteluci had to restart production of automobiles, since their pre-war vehicles were considered outdated by the new direttore generale, Battisto Monteluci, and he immediately ordered the development of new automobiles, which included a new Formula 1 car. Once again, Monteluci reigned the tracks and roads. However, interest in their road-legal automobiles was fading; Vehicles were too expensive and couldn’t compete with the cheaper VLT’s, a nationalised company established in 1946. Due to this, Monteluci relocated funds from their Formula 1 team to their road-legal department, which caused the achievements of the F1 team to slowly degrade, after a few seasons, the Monteluci F1 team was no more than a mediocre racing team, a shadow of what it used to be. The second blow came in 1973, when the oil crisis struck the Monteluci road-legal cars aswell; sales were reduced to a minimum. Through the next years, Monteluci slowly went downhill, upgrading and facelifting the 1973 models due to a lack of money. In 1995, the last update for the Tipo G came, a model which showed slight differences to the previous models, but still building on the same 70’s technologies. In 2007, the Direttore Generale of Monteluci sold the brand to VLT, becoming the manager for the next 5 years. In the last months, Monteluci has presented the new Duca, an innovative all-new D-segment model. Now, Monteluci will be joining Formula 1 again, letting old times relive. Sponsored by Radio and Television Van Luxemburg, most notably the International Branch, as well as the Van Luxemburgian Motoring association and Walter Technologie, Monteluci has contracted a small amount of sponsors, to avoid the white-and-blue livery of the race car to be clogged up with commercial logos. Monteluci F1 has officially received the blessing of the Grand Duke, which lead to the placement of the Grand-Ducal coat of arms on both the RF12 racer and the pit crew overalls. Two racing drivers have been contracted, with Daniel Baer, a well-known name within Van Luxemburg, being the first driver, and Yves Lachappelle being the second driver, providing backup for Baer. Monteluci’s manager, Afredo Monteluci, will also be the team manager, like his grandfather Gilberto. Test driver will be the 26-year old brother of Alfredo, Paolo Monteluci.

    It doesn’t matter if you choose a Monteluci, VLT, or any other brand currently offered by VLT Automotive: You will find Automotive Excellence, superbly crafted, perfect quality, reliability and aesthetics. That is why we produce ‘Won fir die Welt’/’Cars for the World’.

    Lepanto Supercar: It's coming!



    A Lepanto teaser picture has been sent to all press instances.

    We've been waiting for it, but it has come to our inbox: A Lepanto supercar.
    The brand, nowadays part of VLT and belonging to VLT's 'exclusive' branch, commanded by Monteluci, has been promising it's return for a while, but has now finally put out the first (fruitful) results.


    This Lepanto, of which the name has yet to be decided upon, will be equipped with a 6-litre V12 that can develop 650 PS. This will be a slight improvement over the older Monteluci V12 with 640 PS that has been installed in other Lepanto's. Most of this engine has been redeveloped, just to gain the little bit more horsepower and a better cultivated engine. Lepanto has however promised that the engine sound will still be quite brutal, thanks to their sound engineers. With this new V12 engine, the Lepanto 650 (as it will probably be named) can achieve speeds of over 330 km/h and accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in approximately 3 to 3.5 seconds.

    The vehicle will be supplied with technology (ABS, ESP) that can always be turned off, like we're used to with Lepanto. The car is said to be superior in build quality to the VLT L7 Sport (the previous supersportscar by VLT), and will cost around 500,000 USD. The Lepanto will incorporate the best leather and interior products around, while the finest materials will be used to handcraft the vehicle at the Lepanto garages on the Via Lepanto in Venezia. Lepanto expects they can assemble around 200 vehicles of this car annually, and ensures that service is one of the most important words for Lepanto. For now, the only other Lepanto dealer in Van Luxemburg is on the Boulevard 5. Mee 1945. Due to the significant distance some customers will have to travel, the brand will offer a possibility to take the car from the owners' home, service it, and return it to the owner. For foreign owners, the Lepantos will be flown back to Van Luxemburg for maintenance once a year. The owner can also travel with his vehicle, to enjoy the Lepantos in venezia or take a special driving course on the Monteluci/Lepanto track in Moiano, inbetween Omignano and Venezia.

    'Lepanto is an experience, not just a car. We hope the owner of such a vehicle will experience this. This new supercar is a special event, and we will handcraft the vehicle, as with every model, on the Via Lepanto. When the owner takes delivery of the car, he can make a test drive with the mechanic that does the final inspection, and, if required, ask for some last-minute touchups. If the driver needs to, he can always E-mail, or phone when the Lepanto factory is open, the mechanic that did the final inspection if he wants to consult him, and all of this will be free, it is all service of Lepanto. It does indeed take a lot of money and time, but we think that Lepanto is worth this.' according to Giancarlo Moretti, head of the Lepanto garage in Venezia.

    A set introduction for the 650 has not yet been announced, but we can besure it is nearing.

    Model Year 2008 Updates

    For 2008, VLT has announced several small touchups for their vehicle range.

    Starting January 1st, 2008, the brand will instate the following changes:

    The L7 Sport’s production has been ceased. All remaining orders are to be finished, after which the special facility in Esch-sur-Alzette will continue producing regular L7’s. No announcements of a successor have been made.

    The Monteluci Duca’s standard equipment will be amended. The MY2008 Duca comes with a Head-up Display, Adaptive Suspension (Sport and Normal setting), electric front and rear seating (instead of mechanical), a Ventilation seat option and better quality leather. All Monteluci Duca’s are henceforth available with paddleshifters (which were already available on the semi-automatic gearboxes on the V6 models). This option adds a six-speed semi-automatic gearbox to the car, and will cost $1,391 USD. The option is available on the non-V6 models.

    VLT has also announced that it’s current line-up should be changed in the coming year, probably seeing new versions of multiple models. This is the reason that other VLT models will receive no MY2008 updates.

    100 Monteluci Duca V8 for the Van Luxemburgian Autobahnpolizei

    VENEZIA - Today, the Autobahnpolizei of Van Luxemburg, in cooperation with Automobili Monteluci S.p.A., announced the delivery of 100 modified Monteluci Duca's. They are to be put into service in the regions of Arvaglio, San Giustra, Weiningen and Sint Annabeek.

    The vehicles make use of the 400 HP V8 engine also used in the Monteluci Duca SFS, but are modified 3.2 V6 Biturbo-based vehicles, to keep the cost of the vehicles down and preserve the exclusivity of the SFS. The 310 km/h fast vehicles will mainly be used to engage in high-speed interventions, pursuits or emergencies. The modified Duca's are one of the few vehicles within the Autobahnpolizei that are able to safely store a Heckler & Koch MP5 submachinegun.

    The cars can be seen in operation with the Autobahnpolizei in Arvaglio, San Giustra and Weiningen starting October 10th, 2007.

    Monteluci Duca


    Monteluci Duca SFS, Front


    Monteluci Duca 3.2 V6 Biturbo, Rear

    Test: Monteluci Duca 3.2 V6 Biturbo

    Monteluci has risen again, this time under the skilful command of VLT, which has recently launched it’s first Monteluci: The Duca. We test the most potent petrol version, the 330 HP V6 Biturbo, and see if it’s any good.

    In the last years, Monteluci had completely collapsed. Sales, that is. It still managed to launch some impressive models, but it could never buyers to their showrooms. The image of the 1930’s Monteluci, with it’s racing legends and powerful sportscars, had vanished since the 1970’s, only leaving a vague silhouette of what the brand used to be. Since early 2007, Monteluci is protected under VLT’s powerful wings, and has come to make a remarkable improvement. The brand name now truly associates with racing and technology again, with it’s recently unveiled plans for entering international racing series. Also, this Biturbo is a perfect example of the new technology Monteluci will be delivering over the few coming years.

    So, we’re having the Duca V6 Biturbo over for tea today. It is amazing what Monteluci has achieved within the few months that it is under the management from VLT, and we’re beginning to doubt if this was meant to be a Monteluci. On the outside, as well as on the inside, the car looks stunning, and it doesn’t seem to be using any inferior materials. The coupé lines are unusual for this type of vehicle, but it is gaining popularity, looking at VLT’s own L6 and L7. There are only a few disadvantages to these designs: the back seats’ headroom is usually limited, and the boot space is smaller than that of ‘regular’ models. We have no complaints about the headroom, however, but the boot space is indeed a tad small for such a car. Maybe wait for a station wagon version of the car, if you want some boot space.

    Inside the vehicle, everything looks good, and feels like it has been thoroughly reliable and solid. The interior lay-out is well thought-out, and ergonomy is perfect, although some of the access buttons for the adaptive suspension could have better been added to the navigation controls behind the gear lever. But honestly, only grumpy people would have problems with that, or maybe if you’re a race driver (well, that’s the same, isn’t it? ~ Red.). The satnav itself, as well as the air-conditioning, are perfectly easy to control, and nobody on the redaction had any problems with operating it. Most systems on the Monteluci are entirely different from their VLT counterparts, underlining their semi-independence once again. Not a single VLT button or knob can be found, neither do any of the other parts look like they came from a VLT. There are no major flaws to be found in the interior, and the seats (comfortable Monteluci-designed sport seating) sit remarkably well, and the rear seats deserve a plus as well.

    Turning the beautifully-styled key, the V6 produces an impressive growl, aggressive yet civilised. The sequential semi-automatic 7-speed gearbox, only on the Biturbo, shifts through it’s gear without any problems, and does it’s work precise and with a sportive accent. Even the automatic setting uses the concept of throttle between gear shifts, increasing the sportive feel of the Duca even more. When we take the Monteluci out on the open roads, we were very surprised. While the last few Monteluci’s under the old management had bad suspension, and didn’t drive that well, this new Monteluci drives like a full-fledged sportscar. Partly due to it’s double wishbone construction on both axles, the vehicle corners extremely good, and, while corners can be made at relatively high speeds, the vehicle’s acceleration is magnificent. Due to the interesting turbocharger construction, the Duca has little to no turbo lag, and clamps to the road as if it were on rails. The adaptive suspension does what it should do, although the automatic setting can be a bit problematic, with it doing some adaptations when you don’t want it to, but it’ll do just fine on the manual setting, especially when set to ‘Sport’ This does not only stiffen the suspension, it also causes the engine characteristics to change. The Duca becomes a four-door sportscar with a great engine sound, singing out of the two beautiful rear exhausts, placed on either side of the vehicle. The 4D system (optional, $2,128) makes the vehicle stable enough to withstand some serious aquaplaning, and can also be of help when taking the Duca out on the somewhat less paved roads, although this would be rare when driving a Duca. Accelerating is no problem for this Monteluci, as said before, and the vehicle is perfectly enjoyable on the tight, winding B-roads we drove on. Acceleration together with great driving dynamics, the Duca could outperform some more hard-core cars, if you would like to. However, since the buyer of a Duca is unlikely to fiddle with the settings of the suspension a lot, the standard setting is perfect for normal commuter traffic, while the driver can still enjoy himself on empty roads with the normal setting, in which the vehicle remains sportive enough to offer some great driving pleasure.

    It feels just as home on the Autobahn as on the local B-roads, however. Even when on ‘Luxury’, the Duca covers up all bumps in the roads, making it as comfortable as a flying carpet. We couldn’t get to the magical top speed of 293 km/h due to traffic, but trust us, it does 250 km/h like you were doing only 120. In traffic jams, the Duca has no problems comforting the driver either, since the seating offers enough support, and while they are sport seats, it was comfortable throughout the lockup. The Bose sound system acts perfectly when trying to relax, producing soft, clear tones. When trying to discover what comes standard with this car, you are in for a surprise. Practically everything is standard, including satnav, climate control and leather upholstery. The best surprise is, that this is standard for every Duca, including the models with somewhat less potent motorization. The Duca can be yours for $27.211, for a 171 mHP 2 litre. This particular model, the Biturbo, is yours for $41.667, with an additional $2.128 for the 4-Wheel Drive bringing the price to $43.795.

    Pros:
    - Stunning design
    - Good quality
    - Price

    VLT L3: the new small car.







    Introduced in Esch-sur-Alzette in early 2009, the new VLT L3 is the car with the most experience of all: the name has been used for over 60 years, and will go into it’s 8th generation this year, with over 500 million examples built. The new generation VLT L3’s are equipped with fuel-efficient variable compression rate turbocharged engines and twin-clutch gearboxes, making them the greenest and quickest L3 to date.

    The L3 is now equipped with the new VLT Group TCi engine technology, which are the greenest and most powerful petrol engines to ever feature in a VLT, with 1.0-2 litre engines developing 80-280 horsepower. More innovative developments have been included in the engine’s technology: it has a Stationary Shutdown System (3S), that automatically turns off the engine when standing at, for example, a red light. The engine starts again when pressure is applied on the accelerator pedal. Next to this, it has variable valve timing and a variable compression. This means that the engine can run at extremely high, Diesel-like efficiency levels, while still delivering maximum power to the driver. To increase power from a smaller displacement, a turbocharger and a supercharger were used to work together: the supercharger will mainly operate at low speeds to deliver horsepower and torque, and the turbocharger will take over above 2,500 rpm. If necessary, both can be used to force air into the engine when maximum power is required, for example during acceleration or on high (200+) Autobahn speeds. Furthermore, it is relatively easy to increase the engine’s power by a CPU modification, due to the use of turbo- and superchargers.

    The Twin-Clutch Gearbox (TCG) makes use of two clutches instead of one. This allows the system to shift within 6 milliseconds, since it ‘lines up’ the next gear before shifting, making use of the second clutch. If necessary, the system can also be configured to work in automatic mode by the simple pressing of a button.

    Inside the L3, a satellite navigation system is integrated in the instrument cluster, stretching into the center console. The interior was designed using high quality components, and offer a soft touch feel with elegant looks. A sliding sunroof has been included in the standard equipment, but also features solar panels that can allow the vehicle to preheat itself while the engine is not running. This can be very useful when the vehicle is parked outside, since it can cool the interior in summer, and heat it in winter. Next to this, several electric heating elements keep the engine heated and also prevents the windows from freezing over.

    The VLT L3 is available from a price of $22,100, only marginally more expensive than the previous model. It can be ordered from all VLT dealerships after the 1st of March.

    VLT L5








    The new VLT L5 was introduced together with the L3, and complements the new small car with a familiar face. Being a level up from the smaller L3, it sports several extra features, next to the innovations already introduced with the L3.

    The L5 is now equipped with the new VLT Group TCi engine technology, which are the greenest and most powerful petrol engines to ever feature in a VLT, with 1.4-2 litre engines developing 160-280 horsepower. More innovative developments have been included in the engine’s technology: it has a Stationary Shutdown System (3S), that automatically turns off the engine when standing at, for example, a red light. The engine starts again when pressure is applied on the accelerator pedal. Next to this, it has variable valve timing and a variable compression. This means that the engine can run at extremely high, Diesel-like efficiency levels, while still delivering maximum power to the driver. To increase power from a smaller displacement, a turbocharger and a supercharger were used to work together: the supercharger will mainly operate at low speeds to deliver horsepower and torque, and the turbocharger will take over above 2,500 rpm. If necessary, both can be used to force air into the engine when maximum power is required, for example during acceleration or on high (200+) Autobahn speeds. Furthermore, it is relatively easy to increase the engine’s power by a CPU modification, due to the use of turbo- and superchargers.

    The Twin-Clutch Gearbox (TCG) makes use of two clutches instead of one. This allows the system to shift within 6 milliseconds, since it ‘lines up’ the next gear before shifting, making use of the second clutch. If necessary, the system can also be configured to work in automatic mode by the simple pressing of a button.

    Inside the L5, a satellite navigation system covers center console. The interior was designed using high quality components, and offer a soft touch feel with elegant looks. A sliding sunroof has been included in the standard equipment, but also features solar panels that can allow the vehicle to preheat itself while the engine is not running. This can be very useful when the vehicle is parked outside, since it can cool the interior in summer, and heat it in winter. Next to this, several electric heating elements keep the engine heated and also prevents the windows from freezing over.
    Unlike the L3, the L5 has an all-touch screen interior, in which systems can be operated complete by one finger, making it possible to scroll through dozens of screens by the slip of a finger. The satellite navigation system does not only offer a simple map view, but also has a 3D view possibility and an actualised satellite map database, made possible by a 500GB harddisk aboard the vehicle, which can also be used to store music, movies or even games, for the rear passengers’ enjoyment. The rear view mirror makes use of several cameras in the back of the vehicle to allow the driver to monitor his surroundings better than ever before, and even has an integrated blind spot monitor that sense movement on locations the driver cannot see from his seating position. This greatly increases security for both the driver and his passenger, and pedestrians. Furthermore, two cameras facing either left or right and mounted next to the front lights allow the driver to see around difficult corners, such as in built-up areas. The adaptive cornering lights further enhance the safety in corners by allowing the driver to see where he is going, by automatically moving the front lights together with the front wheels.

    The VLT L5 is available from a price of $27,500, selling at around the same price as the previous model. It can be ordered from all VLT dealerships after the 1st of April, which is no joke..
