Sterling Sports Cars was recently purchased by Fortvac Automotive Works in Wilmington, Delaware. Founded in 2010, Fortvac grew from a small start-up into the caretakers of the Cimbria line of cars, the Viper 2000, and the Fortvac Bernardi. Fortvac currently stocks replacement parts and upgrades for Sterling cars and is looking to introduce the next generation of the brand. While the specifics haven’t been released yet, expect a proprietary tube-chassis with a front, or mid-mounted V8 engine, rear-wheel drive and bodywork that honors the Sterling and its derivatives. While the Sterling is known for its hydraulic lift canopy, the new model will achieve more interior space and ease ingress and egress through the use of gullwing doors.
