Italy's Newest Hypercar: Giamaro Katla
Italy has long been hailed as the birthplace of the world’s most breathtaking supercars, and with the introduction of the Giamaro Katla, that legacy grows even stronger. This beast of engineering boasts a staggering 2,128 horsepower, delivered by a quad-turbocharged 7.0-liter V-12 engine—a true testament to Italian automotive passion and precision.
In a world dominated by advanced technology and automated gearboxes, Giamaro makes a bold statement by pairing this powerhouse engine with a seven-speed manual transmission. The result? A hypercar that blends raw mechanical thrill with cutting-edge performance.
Giamaro Automobili: A New Challenger in the Hypercar Arena
Founded in 2021 in Modena, the same hallowed ground where Ferrari was born, Giamaro Automobili is determined to carve out a place among the automotive elite. Despite being a newcomer, Giamaro’s mission is nothing short of revolutionary.
According to the brand, “Each Giamaro vehicle is conceived as a unique creation that reflects a personal vision of perfection. More than machines, they are immersive experiences—created to forge a deep, instinctive connection between human and car.”
While such statements may seem lofty, Giamaro is backing up its words with action. The Katla debuted this week, and though it hasn’t hit production yet, a behind-the-scenes look from Motor1 reveals a company working relentlessly to bring their vision to life.
Power and Precision: The Giamaro Katla’s Technical Highlights
2,128 Horsepower from a V-12 Engine
At the heart of the Katla lies its most headline-grabbing feature: a quad-turbocharged V-12 engine, delivering a monstrous 2,128 horsepower to the rear wheels. In an era where electrification is becoming the norm, Giamaro is making a case for the enduring appeal of brute-force combustion power.
This engine doesn’t just make the Katla fast—it aims to redefine the standards for hypercar performance. While specific figures like top speed and 0–60 mph times haven’t been disclosed, the numbers suggest the Katla could challenge industry titans like Bugatti, Pagani, and Koenigsegg.
Seven-Speed Manual Transmission
Perhaps even more thrilling for enthusiasts is the inclusion of a seven-speed manual gearbox. It’s a rare and welcome nod to driver engagement in a market increasingly dominated by dual-clutch and paddle-shift systems. With this setup, the Katla aims to be more than a machine—it’s meant to be an extension of the driver’s own senses.
Built for Performance: Advanced Materials and Lightweight Design
Carbon-Fiber Monocoque Chassis
Performance is about more than just horsepower. The Katla’s carbon-fiber monocoque keeps the car’s weight under 3,200 pounds, ensuring incredible power-to-weight ratios and enhanced agility on both road and track.
Bespoke Suspension System
Handling is just as crucial as speed. Giamaro has equipped the Katla with a custom-designed suspension system, tuned for precision control and responsiveness. This ensures that the Katla is not only lightning fast but also highly maneuverable—a key factor in competing with established hypercar giants.
Craftsmanship and Exclusivity: The Essence of Italian Engineering
Giamaro isn’t just building a car—it’s creating a driving experience. According to company head Giacomo Commendatore, the goal is to develop a product that forges a genuine emotional bond between man and machine.
“We tried to give our car, our product, a specific identity, and create a deep connection between driver and machine—something that doesn’t exist yet,” he shared during the Katla’s debut preparations.
With every detail handcrafted and tailored, the Katla is expected to be a limited-production hypercar, built for those who demand the very best in performance, exclusivity, and design.
Price and Availability: What We Know So Far
As with most hypercars, exact pricing and delivery timelines for the Katla remain undisclosed. However, it’s safe to assume the price tag will reach into seven-figure territory. Given the complexity and exclusivity of the build, deliveries will likely be bespoke and on a “ready when it’s ready” basis.
The Katla is Italy’s Roar in the Hypercar Race
The Giamaro Katla is more than just Italy’s newest hypercar—it’s a bold declaration of innovation, heritage, and unrelenting performance. With 2,128 horsepower, a manual transmission, and cutting-edge materials, it’s positioned to challenge the best in the world while offering a uniquely Italian driving experience.
As Giamaro prepares to step onto the world stage, the automotive world watches with anticipation. If the Katla is any indication, the future of hypercars remains loud, powerful, and unapologetically passionate.
