Adamastor Furia Hypercar With Ford GT Engine Moves Closer to Production as 60 Units Planned
Adamastor Furia Moves Closer to Reality
There's always another niche supercar brand trying to break through. Most disappear, some never get past digital renders, but a handful actually make it. Even Koenigsegg started out as a small project before turning into a real contender.
Adamastor is one of the latest to try. The Portugal-based team has big goals for its size, and its first car, the Furia, is actually making steady progress toward production. The latest round of updates shows this isn't just vaporware.
Adamastor took Prototype #001 back to the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve for tougher track sessions. Over four runs, engineers pushed the car harder each time, trying out different setups and building speed. The main result: the car ran without a hitch. No reliability problems, and the data gave the team more trust in both their own parts and those from suppliers.
Testing Progress and What We Know So Far
The second round of testing wasn't just about chasing lap times. It was about making sure the basics worked. Engineers focused on high-speed handling, using telemetry and feedback from test driver Diogo Matos to fine-tune the setup. Matos helped turn numbers into real improvements.
The Furia follows the usual supercar formula, but with a clear focus on engineering. It uses a carbon fiber chassis and keeps the weight to about 2,425 lbs in race trim. The suspension is a decoupled double-wishbone setup with ample adjustability, so it can be tuned for both road and track.
Adamastor is using the same tools as bigger names: CFD, finite element analysis, and race modeling software. Their experience with advanced manufacturing, especially carbon fiber, is shaping how the Furia comes together.
The Furia looks the part: low, wide, and built for a purpose. Inside, buyers will get plenty of options to choose materials and layout, so each car can be tailored to its owner.
Ford GT Power
The Furia's power comes from a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 from Ford Performance, the same power plant used in the Ford GT, making over 650 horsepower and 421 lb-ft of torque. The numbers: 0 to 62 mph in about 3.5 seconds, 0 to 124 mph in just over 10, and a top speed above 186 mph.
Aerodynamics is a big part of the Furia's arsenal. In race trim, the Furia can make up to 3,968 lbs of downforce at 155 mph, while the road version manages about 2,207 lbs at the same speed. Those are big numbers for a small-batch car.
Only 60 units will be built, so exclusivity is guaranteed. The road-legal version starts at about €1.6 million before taxes, or roughly 1.9 million. It's a high price, but for a first car from a new brand, the Furia is making its case one step at a time.
