      Vittori has teased their Turbio hypercar ahead of its launch on October 4. The company stated that this model was developed in partnership with Pininfarina. It seems reminiscent of a revamped Lamborghini Revuelto due to some matching specifications.

      Vittori has revealed plans to introduce their first vehicle in Miami on October 4, which is being described as a “running concept car” created in collaboration with Pininfarina.

      The model, named Turbio, appears to be inspired by a unique blend of Alfa Romeo, Bugatti, and Lamborghini. The teaser images showcase an aggressive front end featuring a horseshoe-shaped grille, slender lighting units, a noticeable front splitter, and a ventilated hood.

      Moving towards the back, there are glimpses of a double bubble roof and rear-mounted scoops. The vehicle seems to have a large diffuser and X-shaped taillights.

      Vittori did not elaborate much on the design, but disclosed that the Turbio will feature active aerodynamics and utilize “AI-powered 3D printing methods for chassis and body components.” Additionally, it is expected to incorporate carbon fiber and titanium elements along with “AI-assisted design.” This raises questions about the necessity of partnering with Pininfarina, though it may explain why the car resembles other models.

      In terms of dimensions, the Turbio is expected to be 194.8 inches (4947 mm) in length, 89.2 inches (2266 mm) in width, and 45.7 inches (1160 mm) in height, with a wheelbase of 109.4 inches (2779 mm). This makes the car identical in length to the Lamborghini Revuelto and matches its wheelbase. Additionally, the dry weight of 3,907 lb (1772 kg) and a 44/56 weight distribution are also the same as those in the Revuelto, which raises suspicions.

      The vehicle is projected to feature a 6.8-liter V12 engine generating 900 hp (671 kW / 913 PS) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque. The company indicated that it will be combined with a 3.8 kWh lithium-ion battery pack and a front-mounted electric motor, resulting in a total output of 1,110 hp (820 kW / 1,115 PS).

      This exceeds the power of the Revuelto, and Vittori claims that the car can accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in under 2.5 seconds. Interestingly, the startup mentions a top speed of “220 m/h,” which is likely a typographical error, as this translates to 0.14 mph. If intended to be 220 km/h, that would equate to only 137 mph.

      Nonetheless, the company warned that “production specifications may change and timing will be announced as development progresses.” This statement lacks reassurance, but production is expected to be limited to 50 units—if it makes it to that stage.
