A new startup called Vittori will introduce a 1,100 hp hypercar this fall
A new hypercar company called Vittori has announced plans to introduce their first vehicle in Miami on October 4. It’s being billed as a “running concept car” that was developed in collaboration with Pininfarina.
Dubbed the Turbio, the model appears to be the result of a wild one night stand between an Alfa Romeo, Bugatti, and Lamborghini. The teaser images are pretty revealing and show an aggressive front fascia with a horse shoe-like grille. They’re joined by slender lighting units, a prominent front splitter, and what appears to be a ventilated hood.

Moving further back, we can get a glimpse of a double bubble roof and rear-mounted scoops. The car also appears to have a massive diffuser as well as X-shaped taillights.
Vittori didn’t say much about the design, but revealed the Turbio will have active aerodynamics as well as “AI-powered 3D printing methods for chassis and body parts.” We can also expect carbon fiber and titanium components as well as an “AI-assisted design.” That kind of defeats the point of hiring Pininfarina, but it could explain why the car looks a little bit like everything else.
In terms of size, the Turbio is slated to measure 194.8 inches (4947 mm) long, 89.2 inches (2266 mm) wide, and 45.7 inches (1160 mm) tall with a wheelbase that spans 109.4 inches (2779 mm). This means the car is the exact same length as the Lamborghini Revuelto and has the same wheelbase as well. If that wasn’t suspicious enough, the 3,907 lb (1772 kg) dry weight and 44/56 weight distribution are also the same as the Revuelto.
That sounds pretty fishy and the car is slated to have a 6.8-liter V12 engine producing 900 hp (671 kW / 913 PS) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque. The company said it will be paired with a 3.8 kWh lithium-ion battery pack and a front-mounted electric motor that brings the combined output to 1,110 hp (820 kW / 1,115 PS).
That’s more than the Revuelto and Vittori said the car will be able to accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in less than 2.5 seconds. Curiously, the startup lists the top speed as “220 m/h,” which equates to 0.14 mph. While that’s clearly a typo, if it’s supposed to be 220 km/h, that would only be 137 mph.
Regardless, the company cautioned “production specifications may change and timing will be announced as development progresses.” That’s not very reassuring, but production will be limited to 50 units – assuming it even gets that far.
