Attention all sports car enthusiasts! A new player has entered the scene: the Italian automaker Automobili Mignatta has just introduced the Rina, their inaugural model—a stunning roadster that blends 1960s design aesthetics with modern V8 performance.
The chassis of the Rina is crafted from carbon monocoque, a robust yet lightweight structure made from individual carbon fiber strands typically found in high-end bicycles. This construction ensures the car boasts exceptional rigidity.
Weighing in at just 2,205 pounds, the Rina is likely to deliver impressive speed, although specific details about its naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 engine have yet to be revealed. It features rear-wheel drive and offers an option for advanced carbon ceramic brakes, alongside 19-inch front wheels and 20-inch rear wheels.
The monocoque design forms a tub shape that houses the driver and passenger seats. The company assures that it’s designed for easy access as well as safety in the event of a collision. Its eye-catching exterior evokes memories of classic Italian sports cars from the 60s, complete with elongated headlights and an open-top configuration.
The interior design maintains the classic theme of the exterior. While it exudes sophistication, it lacks modern infotainment technology. Instead, the cabin features an elegant, stripped-down style, void of digital displays or contemporary conveniences like CarPlay.
You’ll find traditional analog gauges, including a centrally positioned speedometer and an elliptical tachometer. The interior is adorned with aluminum and carbon accents, while the seats are upholstered in luxury brown leather.
