Born from passion and love for automobiles, the latest progeny of Arrinera Automotive SA is a super sports car for people of similar passions.
The caR is admired both for its stunning peRformance and aggressive looks and Is available as a roadster coNvertible or a coupe.
A transparent panel in the Engine cover reveals the poweRful engine while at the back, A wonderful euphonious sound is emitted from the exhaust which exits from the centre of the diffuser.
The car features a 640 hp V8 engine, giving a performance to match its looks, fitted within a strong but lightweight body shell which allows the full power of the engine to be unleashed.
The aerodynamic bodywork is entirely constructed from carbon fibre and in combination with a completely flat floor pan and revised rear diffuser push the car down to the road through increased downforce.

The perfect proportions and aggressive lines of the carbon fibre body are enhanced by the huge wheels (19” front and 20” rear), stunning performance and stylish vertically opening doors are just the beginning of this adventure.
ENGINE
The mid mounted engine is a latest generation V8 with a capacity of 6.2 litres. It is equipped with an Eaton four-lobe supercharger and delivers an impressive 476 kW (638 bhp) and 819 Nm (604 lb-ft) torque. This ensures that the car’s performance matches its looks.
WHEELS
large diameter light alloy wheels create space for the race proven brakes and are fitted with ultra low profile tyres for ultimate grip and control; 255/30 R19 at the front and 335/30 R20 at the rear.
FRAME AND BODY
The lightweight chassis was computer designed and 3D modelled for light weight and high strength, being manufactured as a high strength steel tubular construction combined with carbon fibre and aluminium elements.
The body is manufactured from carbon fibre and Kevlar composites for rigidity and light weight without compromising safety.
CERAMIC BRAKES
Ceramic brake discs are the direct result of experience in top flight racing and their use in hyper performance cars is becoming standard. This composite has excellent thermal conductivity to rapidly conduct and dissipate heat and so avoid fading under hard use, while low thermal expansion properties increase resistance to deformation and warping. Ceramic discs are also 50% lighter than traditional materials, which reduces unsprung weight and moments of inertia which is particularly noticeable when steering through a series of bends where the rotational speed of each wheel is constantly changing.
High abrasion resistance makes ceramic brakes last up to 300,000 km in normal use and it may be predicted that they should not require replacement throughout the car lifetime since they may lose a maximum of 0.5 mm from their thickness. Drivers having this type of brakes in their cars also appreciate the excellent and consistent brake feel and an almost complete lack of vibration, even with during sustained heavy braking.
THERMAL IMAGING CAMERA
It is widely acknowledged that the weakest link of the car is its driver. Therefore, in the case of our car, thermal imaging greatly assists the perception of the driver by raising his or her awareness of the presence of humans and animals on the road. Namely, the vehicle has the latest generation of infrared camera installed that monitors the area for a few hundred meters ahead of the car. Whenever the camera picks up an object with a higher temperature than the environment, i.e. probably a human or an animal, the driver will be able to see a clear and apparent image of the object on a display located in the centre console within the driver's field of vision.
