One year on from the launching of the Hussarya GT at Autosport International 2016, Arrinera has got its first customer orders for the race-prepared Polish supercar. The orders have been made by clients within the EU and are the first two chassis scheduled for delivery as 2017 build slots get underway.
Built to FIA GT specification, the 6-litre V8 Hussarya GT completed a successful year of testing during 2016 at the hands of Scottish racing legend Anthony Reid. The Arrinera Hussarya GT was also the first Polish supercar to compete in the Michelin Supercar Run at the annual Goodwood Festival of Speed in the September. The vehicle will make its GT debut in upcoming months with both a factory team and client cars planned.
The GT is controlled by an LS7 V8 engine producing 500bhp and is mated to a six-speed Hewland sequential racing gearbox functioned by paddle shifts. Its modular steel spaceframe chassis mirrors the foundations of Hurricanes and Spitfires flown by Polish pilots during the allied air campaigns of WW2. It also includes bespoke pushrod suspension with Öhlins four-way adjustable dampers, Alcon brakes with 380mm discs and six-pot mono bloc calipers all round. Bosch racing ABS and traction control are basic equipment.
Developed for gentleman drivers for ease of use, ease of maintenance and affordable costs, the Hussarya GT motivates confidence in the driver, giving amateur drivers a shallower understanding curve while simultaneously rewarding the talent of professional drivers. The car is also styled with two racing seats making the Hussarya fit for instruction. Build slots are on sale for the vehicle which is is going to cost US$229,000, with an obligatory spares package for an extra US$69,000.
Piotr R. Frankowski, Arrinera Racing’s CEO stated: “We are very excited to have received the first orders for the Hussarya GT. This is a great start to 2017, following a busy year of development and track testing. There has been a lot of interest in this car since its launch, just one year ago.”
“The GT has true racing pedigree and offers competitive race performance with significantly lower running costs than its rivals on the GT grid. We are looking forward to its race debut in the near future.”
