Name originATS stands for Automobili Turismo e Sport, Italian for "Touring and Sport Automobiles." The initials describe the two kinds of cars the company set out to build, a road-going grand tourer and a racing car.The company carries the surname of its founder, Giovanni Bertone, who set up a carriage building and repair shop in Turin in 1912. His son Giuseppe, known as Nuccio, later led the firm, so the name stayed in the family for generations.
