COVER FEATURE – SEAT TANGO “You’ve Been TANGO’d” By Mark Forbes the Tango being unveiled at Frankfurt in September Seat has revealed a new roadster concept, the Tango, at the Frankfurt Motor Show during September. Tango “has evoked the spirit of 50s and 60s convertibles through the use of pure, no-compromise design”, says Seat, yet also showcases new developments in lighting technology. So is it the next best thing or just a can of fizzy pop? 'We'll build it if reaction is good enough,' says Seat, and judging by interest the Tango roadster has got at Frankfurt, it looks likely to go into production. An unusually retro Seat from the team headed up by ex-Alfa man Walter da Silva, the Tango 'interprets the essence of '50s and '60s sports cars from a 21st century perspective'. >>>>>
