Supercar Swagger - When someone mentions Brazil, your mind probably races to football, Carnival, or maybe that perfectly grilled steak you still dream about. But tucked away in the world of palm trees and samba is something far more unexpected—a homegrown supercar that roared into existence with flair and fearless ambition. Meet the Rossin-Bertin Vorax, Brazil’s audacious leap into the fast lane.
Back in 2010, two men from wildly different worlds decided to stir things up. Fharys Rossin, a former GM designer tired of playing by the rules, joined forces with Natalino Bertin, a young millionaire whose family made their fortune in the meat industry. Sounds like the start of a joke, right? A designer and a meat mogul walk into a garage… and somehow, a supercar comes out.

Back in 2010, two men from wildly different worlds decided to stir things up. Fharys Rossin, a former GM designer tired of playing by the rules, joined forces with Natalino Bertin, a young millionaire whose family made their fortune in the meat industry. Sounds like the start of a joke, right? A designer and a meat mogul walk into a garage… and somehow, a supercar comes out.Several pictures of 2010 Rossin-Bertin Vorax convertible version.

The result was the Vorax—a name as dramatic as the car itself. Its design is sharp, muscular, and anything but shy. The body is sculpted from carbon fiber, giving it lightweight agility, while the aluminum spaceframe adds rigidity and race-ready stability. This isn’t your average exotic—it’s a statement on wheels.
Powering
this beast is a 5.0-liter V10 engine borrowed from the BMW M5. In its
naturally aspirated form, it delivers 570 horsepower and a 0–100 km/h
time of just 3.8 seconds. If that doesn’t quite ruffle your hair, the
supercharged version brings 750 horses to the party, launching the car
to 100 km/h in just 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 372 km/h. In other
words, it’s not just fast—it’s Brazilian steakhouse-on-wheels fast.

What made the Vorax stand out wasn’t just the specs. It was the guts behind the project. Rossin-Bertin didn’t come from a long legacy of racing pedigree or billion-dollar factories. They came with ambition, bold design, and a V10 that could wake an entire neighborhood. And even though the Vorax didn’t hit full-scale production, it earned serious respect from car lovers around the world.
Today, it remains one of Brazil’s most fascinating automotive ventures—a rare gem that proved innovation doesn’t need a European address. The Rossin-Bertin Vorax wasn’t just built to drive fast. It was built to show the world that even in a land known more for football fields than racetracks, you can still build a machine with supercar swagger.
