- Adamastor will build just 60 examples of the Furia hypercar.
- The Furia uses a 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 producing 485kW and 571Nm.
- Track specification produces up to 1799kg of downforce at 250km/h.
Portugal has entered the hypercar chat, and it has done so with something very sharp, very low and very much not shy about its inspirations.
Meet the Adamastor Furia, a limited-run, track-focused supercar from Portuguese maker Adamastor. It has recently been testing at Portimão and, at a glance, looks ready to pick a fight with the Aston Martin Valkyrie. Only instead of a bespoke screaming V12, this one borrows its muscle from Detroit.
Valkyrie vibes, Portuguese passport
The Furia’s styling leans heavily into the modern track-hypercar formula. There is a Formula One-style nose, swollen front guards, tiny headlights, exposed suspension elements and a cabin pushed into a tight central bubble.
At the rear, the drama continues with a huge carbon-fibre diffuser and simple rear wing. The Valkyrie comparison is hard to avoid, though Adamastor has wrapped the idea in its own carbon-fibre bodywork.
Just 60 examples are planned, so it is not exactly chasing supermarket car park ubiquity. The road-going version is priced from €1.6 million before VAT, which converts to roughly NZ$3.15 million before taxes.
Ford GT heart, hypercar intent
Power comes from the same 3.5-litre twin-turbocharged V6 used in the Ford GT. In the Furia, it is tuned to produce 485kW and 571Nm, sent to the rear wheels through a sequential transmission.
Those figures may not sound wild in a world of four-figure electric outputs, but the Furia is not trying to win a spec-sheet shouting contest. Adamastor claims 0 to 100km/h in around 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 300km/h in road-legal form.
Built for apex hunting
The hardware list suggests the Furia is more than a styling exercise. It uses adjustable double-wishbone suspension and AP Racing brakes, with the package clearly aimed at customers who plan to visit circuits rather than simply park outside hotels.
In track specification, Adamastor claims the car can generate up to 1799kg of downforce at 250km/h. That is a serious aero number, and one that explains the Furia’s aggressive surfacing better than any design-school paragraph could.
It may not have the brand weight of Ferrari, Lamborghini, Pagani or Koenigsegg, but the Furia lands as another reminder that the ultra-low-volume hypercar scene is alive, strange and increasingly international. Portugal now has a contender, and it has brought a Ford GT engine to a very expensive knife fight.
