Meet the Garagisti GP1 – The Ultimate Analogue Hypercar
What happens when tradition meets cutting-edge innovation? You get the Garagisti GP1 — a bold new entry in the hypercar world that unapologetically embraces the analog soul of driving. Crafted as an ode to golden-era performance cars, this limited-edition masterpiece pairs breathtaking design with raw, unfiltered power. Buckle up as we explore what makes this V12-powered creation a triumph of British engineering and luxury car design.
Reinventing the Analog Driving Experience
Amid an automotive landscape dominated by hybrids, digital interfaces, and driver-assist systems, the Garagisti GP1 takes the road less traveled. It’s an analogue hypercar in every sense, built to reconnect drivers with the sheer joy of being behind the wheel. At its core, it’s about raw performance, razor-sharp engagement, and an unmistakable connection between man and machine.
With a production run capped at just 25 units, the GP1 isn’t just rare; it’s revolutionary for today’s market. This car is a statement—and it’s one that whispers “Driving pure, driving analog.”
The Beating Heart of the GP1: An Epic V12 Engine
Step aside, digital dominance—the GP1’s centerpiece is an organic and powerful expression of old-school engineering at its finest. Beneath its sleek carbon monocoque chassis lies a fully bespoke 6.6-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine, developed in collaboration with the legendary Italtecnica. How powerful, you ask? We’re talking an awe-inspiring 800 horsepower at 9,000 rpm and over 700 Nm of torque.
What sets this V12 apart is more than just numbers—it’s the sound. Imagine the symphony of motorsport legends brought to life in every rev. This isn’t just a car; it’s an orchestra that sings the ultimate petrolhead anthem.
To make things even more engaging, the GP1 sends power to the rear wheels via a longitudinally mounted six-speed manual gearbox from Xtrac. Yes, you read that right. A manual transmission in a world increasingly devoid of stick shifts. It’s a tactile experience designed for purists who still believe the gearstick is as much a part of driving as the steering wheel.
A Design Born From Legends
The Garagisti GP1 is not just a car—it’s a sensual sculpture inspired by the icons of the ‘80s, ‘90s, and early 2000s. Penned by Angel Guerra, a design visionary known for his work with Bugatti and Rimac, the car channels influences from classics like the Lancia Stratos Zero and the Lamborghini Countach, all while carving a boldly original identity.
From its bold wedge-shaped exterior to its flowing, organic lines, the GP1 is an aesthetic masterpiece. It perfectly balances the drama of supercar design with modern aerodynamic innovation. Beneath its visually stunning silhouette lies an engineering marvel—including some of the largest rear diffusers ever seen on a road car. These aren’t just for show; they deliver serious ground-effect performance.
A Driver-Focused Interior Like No Other
The interior of the GP1 is a love letter to simplicity. Forget oversized screens and distracting gimmicks; everything here is crafted with purpose. The twin-cockpit design places the focus squarely on the driver. Ventilation is subtle and seamlessly integrated, with every control sitting exactly where it should. Angel Guerra’s philosophy for the interior was straightforward yet brilliant: no distractions, no nonsense—just you, the car, and the open road.
The result? A cabin that’s clean, functional, and gorgeous. It’s luxury car design at its finest, engineered solely for driving purity.
Power Meets Practicality – A True GT Tourer
While the GP1 is ferociously fast and feather-light at just 1,000 kilograms (dry weight), it doesn’t compromise on usability. Unlike some hypercars that are only at home on the track, the GP1 is also a grand tourer at heart. With luggage space, refined cabin acoustics, and a measured level of comfort, it’s perfect for long drives across winding country roads—or roaring down the Autobahn.
Of course, push it harder, and the GP1 transforms. It's raw. It's visceral. It’s alive. And it’s more than ready to devour the nearest racetrack.
The Expert Minds Behind Perfection
The Garagisti GP1 isn’t the work of one manufacturer — it’s the result of a dream team of global automotive experts. Dubbed a coalition of specialists, not generalists, Garagisti & Co. has partnered with the best in the industry:
Italtecnica – Masters behind the bespoke V12 engine.
DEXET Technologies – Leaders in aerodynamics and carbon monocoque development.
Brembo, Öhlins & Xtrac – Motorsport-grade suppliers known for their cutting-edge braking, suspension, and transmission systems.
This collective effort ensures that every component of the GP1 operates at the absolute peak of performance and precision, with no corners cut—literally or figuratively.
Bespoke Craftsmanship, Unmatched Exclusivity
If you’ve dreamed of shaping a supercar from the ground up, the GP1 offers that chance. Each car is hand-finished according to the owner’s unique preferences through Garagisti’s bespoke commissioning program. This isn’t just personalization; it’s a transformation into a rolling work of art.
Garagisti’s pioneering “Open Doors” program sweetens the deal even further. The first 12 buyers gain access to intimate events with the engineers and designers creating the GP1. Consider it your backstage pass to the world of hypercar development—and an opportunity to leave your personal mark on automotive history.
Pricing the Dream
Owning a Garagisti GP1 comes with a price tag to match its exclusivity—£2.45 million plus taxes and fees, to be precise. But for those lucky enough to claim one, it’s much more than a car. It’s an investment in history, engineering art, and a driving experience that money can rarely buy.
Why the GP1 Matters
The GP1 isn’t just another hypercar—it’s a manifesto for the preservation of driving’s analog soul. By blending modern technologies with timeless design, Garagisti & Co. is delivering a car for enthusiasts who refuse to say goodbye to the golden age of driving.
“We asked ourselves what the cars of the ‘80s, ‘90s, and 2000s would look like today if they didn’t lose their analogue purity,” says co-founder Mario Escudero. “The GP1 is our answer.”
It’s a declaration of freedom, a throwback to greatness, and a glimpse of what’s possible when engineering excellence meets unfiltered passion.
Final Thoughts
The Garagisti GP1 isn’t for everyone—and that’s its greatest strength. It’s for those who live for the thrill of the road, who crave the sheer joy of mastering the art of driving. With only 25 units available worldwide, this analogue hypercar is set to become both a collector’s item and a driver’s dream.
For those lucky enough to get behind the wheel, one thing is clear—you won’t just be driving a car; you’ll be experiencing something truly extraordinary.
