A new quad turbo V12 supercar is coming, and it's been teased with... a volcano erupting
Giamaro Automobili is the latest in a long line of Italian supercar companies, and its first car will have a V12 with four turbos strapped on
Everybody loves an ambitious upstart that wants to rival the big dogs, and Modena-based Giamaro Automobili will be the latest to try its luck. And guess what? Its debut product won’t use a six or eight-cylinder, but a quad-turbo V12. Holy schmoly indeed.
Details remain sparse for now since the official Giamaro website is just a black page with an introduction video on it, but that video does have one other key detail: 22.05.2025.
That’s the official preview date for the car, which means it’s less than six months away from being, at the very least, a rolling chassis. Unless Giamaro plans to troll us by announcing the number of seats the car will have on that date and nothing else.
Rumours suggest the engine is already being heavily tested, and though we’ve no idea about projected outputs, slinging four turbochargers to 12 cylinders likely won’t result in anything less than 1,000bhp. Or, in other words, right into the firing line of the Lamborghini Revuelto.
And should it also become a fully-fledged production car at some point next year, it won’t be the only newcomer either: former Bugatti and Koenigsegg designer Sasha Selipanov has his V12-powered Nilu on the way too.
Reckon a rave response to Giamaro could signal a return to V12s for some of the established royal elite?
