In every single place you look, there’s a brand new electrical supercar with outrageous horsepower figures, gliding alongside to 60 miles per hour in full silence. However regardless of the spectacle, clients merely aren’t falling in love with these battery-powered machines. As a result of whereas a battery-powered sedan would possibly make sense, a top-tier efficiency automotive wants sound—actual, mechanical sound.

That’s why the GP1 from British newcomer Garagisti & Co is more likely to thrill fans all over the place—even when it solely exists as a rendering, for now.

The GP1 is a supercar constructed round a naturally aspirated V-12 engine, paired with a guide gearbox and rear-wheel drive. In different phrases: A purist’s dream. “A automotive constructed purely for the enjoyment of unfiltered driving,” the corporate says in a press release. And actually, we’re inclined to imagine them.

We’ll get to the design later, however let’s concentrate on what actually issues: The engine. On the core of the GP1 is an all-new, 6.6-liter naturally aspirated V-12 developed by Italtecnica, a revered Italian motorsport engineering agency. The numbers are spectacular—800 horsepower at 9,000 rpm, with torque surpassing 516 pound-feet.

No electrification, no turbochargers—simply uncooked, mechanical purity.

All that energy is transmitted to the rear wheels through a longitudinally mounted six-speed Xtrac guide gearbox “that provides unparalleled tactility and engagement,” says Garagisti & Co. The burden of the automotive is simply 2,204 kilos.

‘Unparalleled tactility and engagement’

The mechanical parts come from top-tier corporations like Brembo, Öhlins, and different trusted suppliers with confirmed experience—not simply in highway vehicles, however in high-level motorsport as properly.

The design is rolling artwork—sculpted varieties that, in line with the corporate, are “a celebration of type, mixing cues from the golden age of wedge design.” The placing traces have been penned by Angel Guerra, a former designer for Bugatti and Rimac, drawing inspiration from iconic machines just like the Lancia Stratos Zero, Lamborghini Countach, and different masterpieces by Marcello Gandini.

Sharp, purposeful traces form the automotive’s aerodynamics, which have been meticulously refined—together with what could also be one of many largest diffusers ever fitted to a highway automotive. Above it, 4 outstanding exhaust pipes take middle stage, framed by distinctive X-shaped LED taillights.

The GP1’s inside embraces pure minimalism. There aren’t any outsized screens, no touch-sensitive controls—simply the necessities. A outstanding central tunnel sits between the 2 seats, that includes bodily switches and a standard gear lever. “All the things is precisely the place it must be,” the corporate says. The design follows Angel Guerra’s tenet: “Simply you, the automotive, and the highway forward.”

The Garagisti & Co. GP1 is now within the closing phases of design and growth, with deliveries anticipated within the coming months. However you’ll have to maneuver quick—manufacturing is strictly restricted to only 25 items, every beginning at round $3.3 million (£2.45 million), excluding taxes, delivery, and bespoke customization.

The primary 12 patrons may even achieve entry to Garagisti’s unique Open Doorways program, providing a uncommon alternative to satisfy the engineers and designers behind the GP1 and witness the automotive’s creation up shut.
