Giamaro Automobili has unveiled its first-ever creation, the Katla — a carbon-fiber, quad-turbo V12 hypercar delivering as much as 2,128 hp and 1,480 lb-ft of torque. Its “hot-V” V12 sits longitudinally within the center, enabling a near-ideal 42:58 weight distribution because of a rear-mounted transaxle. Even in its “base” tune, the engine pushes 1,647 hp at 8,500 rpm, paired with both a 7-speed AMT or an upcoming 11-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Constructed round a 375-lb carbon monocoque chassis with over 29,500 lb-ft/deg of torsional rigidity, the Katla prioritizes excessive responsiveness. Electronically adaptive dampers and a totally lively rear wing frequently modify based mostly on velocity and cornering forces. Braking is dealt with by huge 16.5-inch carbon ceramic entrance discs clamped by 10-piston calipers, matched by 16.5-inch rear items with 4-piston calipers.
Visually, Katla exudes restrained aggression. Its “floating” maroon-to-silver coloration gradient emphasizes a large, low stance, measuring 188.6 inches lengthy, 79.8 inches broad and simply 46.8 inches tall. The inside pairs aviation cues with tactile supplies like CNC-machined aluminum and carbon fiber weaves. Solely a restricted variety of Katlas are anticipated to be constructed.
