Compilation Album Features Top Analog Supercars' Highlights
In the world of high-performance automobiles, Garagisti & Co. has made a bold statement with the unveiling of their new hypercar, the GP1. This remarkable vehicle, currently in advanced stages of engineering and production, harks back to the iconic supercars of the 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s, taking inspiration from legendary models such as the Lamborghini Countach and the Lancia Stratos Zero[1][2][4][5].
The GP1's design, masterminded by Angel Guerra (formerly of Bugatti and Rimac), exudes a wedge-shaped, dramatic styling that celebrates a golden era of automotive design and driver engagement. The exterior and interior of the GP1 are a testament to this era, with its sleek lines and pure analogue driving ethos[1][4].
Under the hood, the GP1 boasts a completely new and bespoke engine, a non-turbo V12 powerhouse with a displacement of 6.6 liters. This engine, still in the conceptual stage of development, is expected to produce an impressive 800 horsepower and generate over 516 lb-ft of torque, revving up to 9,000 rpm[6][7]. The GP1 also features a six-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, offering a driving experience that is as engaging as it is powerful.
The GP1's creators aim to bring back the ideas of tactility and analoginess in supercars, a departure from the increasingly common hybrid and electric technologies[1][2][5]. To achieve this, they have collaborated with renowned suppliers like Brembo, Öhlins, and Xtrac, ensuring that the GP1 delivers not just speed, but a driving experience that is unparalleled.
The chassis, monocoque, and aerodynamic development of the GP1 is being handled by DEXET Technologies, while the engine development and calibration is being handled by Italtecnica Srl. The GP1's weight, expected to be around 2,200 pounds (dry), contributes to its impressive power-to-weight ratio, making it a formidable force on the road[8].
Only 25 units of the GP1 will be produced, each costing over $3.3 million. The high price of the GP1 is likely due to the custom engine, a testament to the vehicle's commitment to analogue driving[9]. The images of the GP1 are digital renders, not actual photos, but with its striking design and promise of a pure driving experience, it's safe to say that the GP1 is a hypercar worth waiting for.
