The 2007 AV Design Forte is a concept sports coupe inspired by the character of the Auburn, Cord and Duesenberg luxury sports cars of the 1930's.

The Forte is a carbon fibre bodied, front-mid engined urban sports car powered by a bio-fueled V8 engine mated to a 6-speed manual, or 5-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. Access to the engine compartment is easy thanks to an aluminium bonnet hinged on both sides and opened from the left or right.

Helping to keep the Forte's engine cool are hidden air vents underneath the protruding front arches which also hide the slit-like LED headlights. Hot air in the engine bay is then extracted by ducted electric fans blowing out either side just forward of the doors. The exhaust is a center-exit titanium unit set into the smooth underbody.
