Track-Focused Arrinera Hussarya Unveiled


This rather beautiful Arrinera supercar was unveiled in Poznan as an updated and track-focused version of the Hussarya.

We can already spot a few changes to the body such as the gigantic rear wing, center-mounted dual exhaust pipes, a new front splitter and of course brand new wheels.

Unfortunately we don't know if they increased the performance in any way or have managed to cut some more weight here and there, but rest assured that the Hussarya is pretty quick even in "road-car" form.

And by pretty quick we mean f.a.s.t. It's powered by a 6.2 liter GM-sourced V8 engine, good for 650 HP and 818 Nm (604 lb-ft) of peak torque and it's got rear wheel drive. This thing is no pushover. It will also hit 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.2 seconds and soldier on until it hits its 340 km/h (212 mph) top speed.

We already knew that the Hussarya's chassis was developed with the help of Lee Noble, the man behind theNoble supercar, and that it will allegedly cost around €160,000 for the normal version, while a "Launch Edition" model will set you back around €200,000.

Despite the fact that that's almost McLaren 650S money, we'll take the standard €160,000 price-tag and run with it. Since what that means is that it would cost more than a Porsche 911 Turbo S, the question is which would you rather have?

The 911 is obviously quicker with its 0-100 km/h time of just 2.9 seconds and all wheel drive, but higher up in the rev range, the Hussarya would be faster - it does have a higher top speed after all.

We expect this to be a very common dilemma for anybody who'd be interested in the Polish supercar. They could roll the dice, or just go with a "safe bet" such as the 911 Turbo S or maybe even an Audi R8 V10 Plus.
