- Giamaro Automobili debuts Katla, a quad-turbo V12 hypercar
- Produces up to 2,128 hp and 1,480 lb-ft of torque
- Carbon monocoque, active aero, CNC suspension and fighter jet-inspired cockpit complete the all-new, track-focused design
Giamaro Automobili has unveiled its first-ever creation, the Katla — a carbon-fiber, quad-turbo V12 hypercar delivering up to 2,128 hp and 1,480 lb-ft of torque. Its “hot-V” V12 sits longitudinally in the middle, enabling a near-ideal 42:58 weight distribution thanks to a rear-mounted transaxle. Even in its “base” tune, the engine pushes 1,647 hp at 8,500 rpm, paired with either a 7-speed AMT or an upcoming 11-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Built around a 375-lb carbon monocoque chassis with over 29,500 lb-ft/deg of torsional rigidity, the Katla prioritizes extreme responsiveness. Electronically adaptive dampers and a fully active rear wing continually adjust based on speed and cornering forces. Braking is handled by massive 16.5-inch carbon ceramic front discs clamped by 10-piston calipers, matched by 16.5-inch rear units with 4-piston calipers.
Visually, Katla exudes restrained aggression. Its “floating” maroon-to-silver color gradient emphasizes a wide, low stance, measuring 188.6 inches long, 79.8 inches wide and just 46.8 inches tall. The interior pairs aviation cues with tactile materials like CNC-machined aluminum and carbon fiber weaves. Only a limited number of Katlas are expected to be built.
