The Future of Hypercars Just Got a Lot More Extreme

Powerstorm Revealed - Every now and then, the automotive world gets a jolt of electricity—not from a battery pack, but from pure, unfiltered ambition. It usually begins with a whisper: a new name, a new company, a sketch of a car that seems too wild to be true. Then, almost overnight, that whisper becomes a roar. And right now, that roar comes from Modena, Italy, where a bold newcomer named Giamaro Automobili is doing something quite extraordinary.

Let’s start with the showstopper: the Giamaro Katla. With a name borrowed from a powerful Icelandic volcano, this machine is nothing short of a seismic event in the hypercar world. It’s not just about wild numbers, although, yes, it boasts a truly outrageous 2,127 brake horsepower and a colossal 1,481 lb-ft of torque. This isn't a theoretical figure hidden behind a development curtain—it comes from a quad-turbocharged V12 engine that Giamaro claims was built entirely in-house. It's a feat even the most seasoned automakers would hesitate to tackle.

The Katla’s layout is all drama: a 120-degree V configuration, three power settings accessed by three physical keys (white, black, and red—each unlocking more fury), and rear-wheel drive only. That last detail feels like a dare, considering all that muscle is being directed to just two tires at the back. Yet Giamaro seems unfazed. The chassis is a bespoke carbon fibre monocoque weighing just 170 kg, contributing to the Katla’s lean 1,450 kg total mass. It’s a number that makes the power-to-weight ratio almost cartoonishly unreal.

But the Katla isn’t all muscle and no finesse. Giamaro has engineered it with adjustable suspension, active dampers, carbon ceramic brakes, and an active rear wing that can become an airbrake when needed. The exterior styling, meanwhile, is sculpted with purpose rather than flairthose dual roof scoops aren’t for show, they’re breathing life into that V12 furnace. And while it might look ready to launch into orbit, there’s a quiet elegance to the Katla that makes it feel thoroughly modern, not just manic.

Inside, the aviation theme takes flight without veering into parody. Giamaro calls the cockpit a personal extension of its drivera fighter jet-inspired console, dual screens, and exposed carbon fibre meet aluminium accents to create a space that feels futuristic, yet mechanical. And since every Katla is built with its owner, not just for them, personalization runs far deeper than paint and leather. From the steering feel to throttle response, each Katla will be a one-of-one creation. | TPpyuLkixFk |
Then, just as the dust settles from the Katla’s reveal, Giamaro throws another wild card into the mix: the Giamaro Albor. Named after a Martian volcano, the Albor is what happens when a hypercar decides it wants to leave the track—and maybe the planet—behind. With the same quad-turbo V12 at its core and that lightweight carbon tub underneath, the Albor raises the game (and the suspension) with off-road capability.

It’s higher, tougher-looking, and though full specs are still under wraps, Giamaro hints that the Albor might be as outrageous in motion as it is in design. The idea of over 2,000bhp on loose terrain is borderline madness, but that’s exactly the kind of thinking that defines Giamaro: “Why not?” isn’t a rhetorical question for them—it’s a philosophy.

What makes all of this more than just vaporware is the conviction behind it. Founders Giacomo and Pierfrancesco Commendatore aren’t trying to build just another fast car. They’re building emotion, identity, and an experience that transcends conventional performance metrics. Both the Katla and the Albor are mechanical marvels wrapped in storytelling—and whether they hit the road, the track, or a Martian trail, they’re already redefining what it means to be a hypercar in 2025.

So, if you thought you knew what automotive excess looked like, think again. Giamaro hasn’t just entered the scene—they’ve detonated onto it. And if their vision is anything to go by, this might just be the beginning of a whole new chapter in performance engineering.
