Adamastor Furia: The First Portuguese Supercar to Conquer the World

New BEAST - The automotive world is evolving rapidly, with groundbreaking developments occurring globally. This dynamic landscape has fueled fierce competition among industry players, pushing them to showcase their most impressive creations, particularly in the realm of supercars. The latest entrant in this high-octane race is the Adamastor Furia, a supercar from Portugal that is making waves for its bold ambition and distinctive engineering.

For those not inclined to shell out approximately £2.5 million for an Aston Martin Valkyrie, the Adamastor Furia offers a compelling alternative. Priced at €1.6 million plus tax, this supercar comes from an unknown startup, yet it promises to deliver an exhilarating performance on par with some of the industry's stalwarts.

The Adamastor Furia, touted as Portugal's first supercar, bears a resemblance to the Valkyrie when viewed from a distance. Its power comes from a Ford-sourced 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 engine, producing around 650bhp and 421lb ft of torque. This robust engine is complemented by a lightweight carbon fiber chassis, giving the Furia a svelte pre-fluid weight of about 1,100kg.

These specifications translate to impressive performance metrics: a top speed exceeding 186mph and a 0-100mph acceleration time of approximately 3.5 seconds. While these numbers are impressive, they don't quite break new ground in the supercar arena. 

One of the Furia's standout features is its aerodynamics, notably the Venturi effect floor, which contributes to a downforce figure of 1,000kg at 155mph. To enhance driving stability and control, the car is equipped with ABS and traction control systems.

Adamastor plans to produce only 60 units of the Furia, assuming they can secure enough buyers. The company ambitiously aims to compete with renowned brands such as Aston Martin, Pagani, Koenigsegg, and Rimac.

Adamastor's base of operations is north of Porto, where they have a history of manufacturing carbon fiber components for various industries, including automotive, wind energy, and beyond. Their pivot to the supercar market is a significant shift, marking a bold step in their corporate evolution. Back in 2018, Adamastor announced their intention to develop a sports car named the P003RL, but the burgeoning supercar market has now become their primary focus.

As they strive to carve out a niche in the competitive supercar market, their story resonates with the spirit of pioneering new frontiers. The Adamastor Furia, with its unique blend of performance, design, and exclusivity, stands as a testament to what can be achieved with vision and determination.

In the world of supercars, where performance and prestige are paramount, the Adamastor Furia offers a refreshing alternative to the established giants. For those looking for a unique, high-performance vehicle that breaks the mold of traditional supercar expectations, the Furia is a contender worth considering.

And for those who appreciate a different kind of innovation, the Praga Bohema provides another fascinating option. Whether these cars will become mainstays in the supercar hall of fame remains to be seen, but they undoubtedly add exciting new dimensions to the ever-evolving landscape of automotive excellence. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | ADAMSTOR SUPERCARS | TOPGEAR | REVISTACARS ]
