British firm Garagisti & Co is making headlines with its first hypercar. It is called the GP1. Only 25 units are being built, each with a price tag of $3.9 million.
The Garagisti GP1 is a truly analogue hypercar that looks contemporary, albeit with a few retro touches. It was designed by Angel Guerra, the former exterior designer at Bugatti and Rimac.
The car has a sleek profile with massive vents on the sides, a front fascia reminiscent of the Pininfarina Battista and a rear section that reminds us of old Lamborghinis. It even has quad exhausts. The interior has a twin cockpit design with a central spine similar to the Carrera GT.
The GP1 is based on a carbon monocoque. Instead of sticking a large wing on it, Angel opted for ground-effect aerodynamics, and hence the large rear diffuser. It features Ohlins suspension, while the brakes have been sourced from Brembo.
Powering the GP1 is a 6.6-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine developed by Italy-based Italtecnica. It develops 778 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. The engine is mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox that sends power to the rear wheels. The company is targeting a dry weight of 1,000 kg.
