Aprilia RS 660: the model expected at EICMA 2019 [TEASER]

“RS 660: a new era begins.” The message of Aprilia on social pages directs you towards the next edition of EICMA.

News and rumors

After submitting a Concept to the last edition hosted in the pavilions of Rho Fiera Milano, we look forward to admiring the translation of that idea into a mass-produced sports car at the Milan event, scheduled by 5 al November 10, 2019 (the first two days dedicated to the press and operators).
Various entries on the medium-displacement model, rumors and also a sighting, marking the distance from the aforementioned debut. The lines would be a little different from the prototype admired in 2018. Even looking at the image immersed in the dark, one can glimpse a rather elaborate front area but perhaps less consolidated than what was noticed in the last edition of EICMA, offering a broader view of the mechanical part, which is probably more exposed. This can also be understood by looking at the central area of ​​the photo, seeing in the shadow what appear to be elements of the frame, shock absorber and swingarm, which could appear lower than what was done on the RS 660 Concept, therefore the same engine. This would be a parallel twin cylinder forward, probably 600 cc. It could deliver power close to 100 horsepower. 95 are estimated, evaluating a possible weakened 35 kW variant for A2 license holders. At the moment they remain hypotheses. Along with this, rumors also emerged about one Thunder 660, which could enrich the medium-sized sports proposal. For the moment, the use of the conditional remains a must in view of the Milanese event.
