13 Supercars (and One Just Awesome Car) You've Never Heard Of at Retromobile

"The company is located in the Piedmont district outside of Turin, an excellent location for an Italian supercar maker. This one is powered, as Italian supercars sometimes are, by a Ford V8, in this case a 5.0-liter Coyote crate motor making "around 500 hp." Power goes through a six-speed manual and to a limited-slip differential. Since the monocoque and body are made from carbon fiber, the whole car weighs a claimed 1,000 kg, or 2,200 pounds."

"There's no windshield, just a wind diverter called an aero screen. The law in Italy requires a helmet. "You don't have to wear it, you just have to bring it with you," said Annunziata, who doesn't wear one unless he's on the autostrada. The plan is to sell it for €350,000, or just over $400,000. You could bring one into the US under the Show or Display law. Good luck!"

"This company was founded by Bruno Laffite, nephew of French Formula 1 driver Jacques Laffite. It's powered by a twin-turbo V8 with a 48-volt mild hybrid said to make a total of 1,000 hp and 535 lb-ft of torque. With a curb weight of 2,970 pounds, that's good for 0-62 mph in 2.4 seconds and a top speed of 217 mph. There's also a fully electric version."

Automobili Mignatta builds an open-top carbon-fiber roadster outside Turin powered by a Ford 5.0-liter Coyote V8 making around 500 hp, mated to a six-speed manual and limited-slip differential. The monocoque and body yield a claimed weight of about 1,000 kg (2,200 lb). The car uses an aero screen instead of a windshield and Italian law requires carrying a helmet. The planned price is €350,000. Bruno Laffite's company produces the LM1 hypercar with a twin-turbo V8 plus 48-volt mild hybrid totaling 1,000 hp and 535 lb-ft, 0-62 mph in 2.4 seconds, top speed 217 mph, and a fully electric version. GFG Style designed the body; L.M. Gianetti manufactures it. LM1 is limited to 24 units; the first sold at auction for $2.6 million.
