Italians released a “carbon fiber” speedster with atmospheric V8

The debut model of Automobili Mignatta received the name Rina. This is a two -seater sports car with rear -wheel drive, a mechanical gearbox, a Ford engine and a minimum set of electronic assistants. Analog experience in it is combined with modern technologies. For example, a composite monocock that weighs only 70 kilograms.

Automobili Mignatta introduced a speedster Rina. This is a collective image of sportsmen in the late 50s-early 60s of the last century, based on a carbon-plastic monocock reinforced by Kevlar and equipped with a V8 engine. The unit is a modified Italtiechnica Engineering “atmospheric” Ford Coyote. For the best weightlifting, it is very shifted deep into the base and in addition to spaces with a six -speed “mechanics” installed according to the TRANSAXLE scheme.

The drive of Rina according to the canons of the genre is the rear. A self -locking differential is implanted into the axis, which, together with a high specific power (about 500 hp per ton) will give good dynamics. A double cockpit does not imply anything superfluous – even the absence of displays speaks of the nature of the car. Of the auxiliary systems – only the steering wheel and ABS amplifier, so the driver will have to rely on his experience and instinct of self -preservation.

The design of Rina was invented by David Dessa. He is a graduate of the European Institute of Design, in the past worked in Italdesign, collaborated with Audi and Chinese OEM manufacturers. They plan to release speeders in small batches-something around 30 pieces per year. The initial price is 260,000 euros, or 23.4 million rubles.
