Garagisti & Co., a British firm, just unveiled a new supercar that has a V-12 engine, a manual transmission, and weighs around one ton. It also might be confused with Italian supercars with a lot more history if you don’t look too close.

The Garagisti & Co. GP1 debuted the car on Friday, and the V-12 is a 6.6-liter bespoke, naturally aspirated engine, according to Top Gear. It’s said to make 789 brake horsepower, which for a car that weighs 1,000 kilograms, or around 2,200 pounds, is perhaps more than enough. The transmission is said to be a six-speed manual, and the engine will power the rear wheels, making the GP1 a throwback in more ways than one.

There is no word yet on stats like a zero-to-60 time, top speed, or a quarter-mile time, but if the weight and power numbers are to be believed, it will be fast. Handling might be a little more complicated, given the rear-wheel drive, but cars from days past of this ilk suffered from similar setbacks. Inside, the interior is minimalist, part of the weight-saving, and there are carbon bits, including the monocoque, to save weight as well.

“What if the golden age of analogue supercars never ended? What if icons like the Countach Evoluzione had sparked a lineage rather than a dead-end? What would the great cars of the ‘80s, ‘90s, and early 2000s look like today if they’d evolved with new technology but kept their analogue soul?” Marco Escudero, Garagisti & Co.’s president, said, according to Top Gear. “We brought together some of the best minds in the world and answered that question with our hands, our hearts, and our passion. The GP1 is our answer.”

These are, indeed, the questions that many of us spend our days asking ourselves, or at least chatting with our therapists about. They are questions we might still be asking if the Garagisti & Co. GP1 never gets built, since the car, for now, is just a render.

If it does see the true light of day, the GP1 won’t come cheap. Garagisti & Co. says it will make 25 new GP1s, at just under $4 million per car, with many details of the car, including the livery, up to customers, in the bespoke mold. One might assume that whether the GP1 goes into production or not will be up to customers, too.
