Not Quite the Prancing Horse You Think
Picture the scene: a yellow emblem, a blazing red silhouette, and the kind of engine roar that could make the Colosseum tremble. In the world of Italian supercars, that usually spells one thing—Ferrari. But hold onto your racing gloves, because not everything that glitters in Modena is Maranello gold.
While some tuners are content to « vampirize » existing supercars—often for the questionable tastes of collectors with deep pockets (think Mansory, ABT, Brabus, just to name a few)—others prefer to shake up the landscape. They’ll gleefully draw from the most stylish and high-performance models on the market to create something entirely new.
Enter Angelelli Automobili. Since 2017, this Italian outfit has focused on building and customizing high-end rides. Their latest creation: the Furia Rossa V12. One glance, and you’d swear you’re staring at a Ferrari imposter. But this resemblance isn’t accidental—it’s a declaration.
Raw Power: Beyond the Rosso Corsa Curtain
Beneath that hand-sculpted carbon fiber body lies something truly jaw-dropping. The Furia Rossa V12 is powered by a whopping 6.2-liter hybrid V12 engine, delivering an absurd 1,000 horsepower. Yes, you read that right—one thousand! According to Angelelli Automobili, this beast will shoot from 0 to 62 mph (0-100 km/h) in under two and a half seconds. If you blink, you’ll miss it. Top speed? Over 217 mph (that’s north of 350 km/h!).
Engineering Wizards and Futuristic Tech
How does it all stay together at those insane speeds? The chassis is a marvel in itself: a titanium-aluminum structure, 3D-printed thanks to some ingenious AI software. The result? The hypercar weighs in at just around 2,645 pounds (that’s hovering close to 1,200 kg), impressively light for a car packing this much power.
The Furia Rossa also boasts active aerodynamics, with twelve movable surfaces that constantly adapt in real time to guarantee flawless grip when tearing down the straight or flying through corners. And to keep you glued to the road, a predictive AI system continually analyzes your driving data and anticipates the car’s every move.
Step inside and it only gets more exclusive. The cockpit wraps the driver in a cocoon of carbon, leather, and light. Racing-inspired bucket seats and a sleek touch interface provide both comfort and high-tech control—plus every sort of connectivity you could desire. Once again, AI is front and center, assisting the driver and tweaking the car’s setup on the go to match your every whim and road condition.
For the Privileged Few
Of course, all this techno-extravagance and raw performance come at a price: the Furia Rossa V12 starts at a tidy 1.6 million euros (around 1.75 million US dollars at current rates)—a figure aimed squarely at seasoned collectors and die-hard aficionados who crave pure mechanical thrills. At that price point, naturally, the Furia Rossa isn’t for everyone… but isn’t exclusivity part of the charm?
