This is the Giamaro Katla, an Italian hypercar that’s capable of producing over 2,000 horsepower with an old-school V12.
Unlike most hypercars, the Katla doesn’t use an electric unit, but it does use turbochargers.
Four of them, to be exact.
The price, predictably, is eye-watering.

The Giamaro Katla was unveiled, in part, as an attempt to go back to the golden age of supercars, and also to compete with other hypercars with over 2,000 horsepower.
This Italian hypercar uses a 7.0-liter V12 with four turbochargers which, depending on the model you pick, can produce either 1,647 horsepower or 2,217 horsepower.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a seven-speed transmission with a limited-slip differential but, and this is truly unprecedented, Giamaro said they’re also working on an 11-speed (!) dual-clutch gearbox.
Built with a combination of aluminum and carbon fiber, this Italian supercar is around the same size as the Corvette C8 and, just like the Corvette, it features a cockpit (also made from carbon fiber and aluminum) that is angled towards the driver.
Speaking of the interior, the Katla also features an aviation-style digital cluster, kind of like the one you find in the Bugatti Tourbillon.
Production is limited to 100 units, and Giamaro says the company should be able to build all 100 units in around three or four years.
The Katla starts at €2.47 million plus taxes, which translates to around $2.8 million (again excluding taxes).
Also, on a side note, Giamaro is working on a rally-inspired variant for this vehicle called the Albor.
The inspiration probably came from the Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato, especially when you look at the rear section.
The name, however, is a tribute to Elon Musk’s favorite planet, Mars, because Albor Tholus is actually a volcano on Mars.The post Giamaro Katla is an Italian hypercar with over 2,000 horsepower and no electric aid appeared first on Supercar Blondie.
