This High-Riding Hypercar Packs a Quad-Turbo V-12

Not content to release just one V-12 hypercar, Giamaro Automobili has surprised us with this, the Albor, a high-riding coupe with that crazy quad-turbocharged engine in the middle. It’s unlike anything we’ve ever seen.

Giamaro founder Giacomo Commendatore calls it “badass.” The company isn’t yet releasing specs, but he tells Motor1 that it’s taller than an Alfa Romeo Stelvio if you include the two roof scoops feeding the V-12. He considers this something new, a “vertical” hypercar, that’s not quite an SUV, but not quite a traditional performance car either.

Like the Katla, the Albor is based around a carbon-fiber monocoque and features styling by Turinese design house Camal. It’s named for a Martian volcano, Albor Tholus, to reflect its powerful, otherworldly vibe.

The V-12 is a co-development with another Turin company, Italtecnica, which Giamaro owns a stake in. We don’t know specs for this car yet, but in the Katla, this engine makes over 2,100 horsepower and pairs with a seven-speed transaxle with a choice of manual or paddle shifts. The car is being developed by a team led by Loris Bicocchi, a legend in the supercar world who’s worked for Lamborghini, Bugatti, Pagani, and Koenigsegg.

It’s further away from production than the Katla, which Giamaro plans to start building next year, so the company has only revealed the car as a full-scale model. But, we should see this become a reality by the end of the decade. It’ll be a reality like nothing we’ve ever seen before.
