Arrinera Hussarya

Arrinera Automotive announced it will begin production of its 'Arrinera Hussarya 33' limited edition supercar, which will be priced at about € 200,000 (approximately Rs 1.6 crore). The Hussarya will be the first Polish supercar, and will begin production by late 2015. The Arrinera Hussarya 33 supercar is the first model to go into production for Arrinera, and will be limited to 33 units for global sales. Unique equipment as well as distinctive styling both for the interior and the body will set the difference between the 33 special edition Hussarya and the standard model. The supercar can be reserved after a deposit payment, the value of which was not mentioned by the company, and will be available in both right and left-hand driving versions. The standard version Hussarya will be priced at about € 160,000 (approximately Rs 1.28 crore).

Powertrain, Design and Testing

The Hussarya is powered by a 6.2 l, V8 petrol engine that delivers a maximum power of 650 hp and 820 Nm of peak torque. The engine is mated to a manual transmission from CIMA that powers the rear wheels of the car to a claimed top speed of 340 km/h. The Hussarya is claimed to do 0-100 km/h in 3.2 seconds.

Arrinera took 14 months to develop the current design of the Hussarya from the company’s earlier prototype. Lee Noble, the famous supercar designer designed the chassis of the new Hussarya, the company said. The faculty of Power and Aeronautical Engineering at the Warsaw University of Technology carried out tests of the car, including an aerodynamic test of the body structure of the car.

If you’re not familiar with Arrinera  , it’s just one of those small manufacturers that came out of nowhere to build a fancy supercar of its own. The Polish brand surfaced a couple of years ago with the Venocara Concept  , a Lamborghini  -like study that was powered by a V-8 mill generating 650 horsepower.
The Venocara morphed into a better looking supercar  about a year ago. It is known by the name of Hussarya  , a moniker that pays tribute to Poland’s 17th century cavalry, the Hussars. Interestingly enough though, the Hussarya has yet to go into production. The company’s initial plan included a 2013 launch, but for some reason the supercar got delayed.
Now, after about year of complete silence, the Poles are back to announce that the Hussarya is inching closer to production, with final testing sessions to commence in October on race tracks in Poland and the United Kingdom. There’s no word as to when actual assembly will begin, but we expect for the first units to show up in 2015.
Speaking of which, the Arrinera Hussarya will step into the crowded world of supercars with a launch edition limited to only 33 examples. Arrinera is demanding €200,000 (about $272,800 as of 06/06/2014) for each car and is hoping to sell them mainly to customers in China  and the Middle East . By comparison, the regular Hussarya costs €160,000 ($218,000).

At the very least, this upstart will look the part of a supercar. With a mid-engined chassis and plenty of aggressive scoops and vents, it hits all the high-performance notes. Granted, there’s not much originality to the design, but it’s a pretty good effort considering Arrinera’s newness.
Power comes from a General Motors-sourced 6.2-liter V8, which produces 625 horsepower and 604 pound-feet of torque. It drives the rear wheels through an automated-manual transmission from Italy’s CIMA.
Arrinera says the Hussarya will do 0 to 60 mph in 3.2 seconds, the quarter mile in 11.0 seconds, and reach a top speed of around 211 mph. For comparison, a 2015 Lamborghini Huracán LP610-4 will do 0 to 60 in about the same time, but comes up short in the theoretical top-speed contest at 202 mph.
Part of that impressive performance is down to the Hussarya’s relatively-low curb weight of around 2,900 pounds. The chassis is made from high-strength steel, while the bodywork is comprised of composite materials, including optional carbon fiber and Kevlar panels.
The chassis was also tuned by British supercar genius Lee Noble. The Noble brand he founded was once in the same position as Arrinera, but has since become an established presence in the supercar field.
If all goes according to plan, the Polish upstart could join those ranks later this year.
Arrinera hopes to deliver its first cars before the end of 2014, but only plans to produce 100 examples per year. Final pricing hash’t been set, but the company previously discussed a figure of $160,000.

Many startup supercars turn out to be vaporware while some – like those of Noble, Pagani, and Koenigsegg – become modern legends. Only time will tell which fate the Hussarya is destined for.

This is what Poland's first ever supercar will look like. Probably. It's made by a company called Arrinera, and is called the ‘Hussarya'.
We say made, when of course, we mean, will be made, at some point soon. Probably. Because these pictures are just renderings, albeit the final computer renderings of what the finished product should look like.
But it *should* be pretty nifty, not least because a certain Mr Lee Noble sits on the management board of Arrinera Automotive, and was involved in the chassis design. You might remember his earlier work - the mind-alteringly quick Noble M12 and M400. There's already a prototype of the Hussarya - built and tested last year for investors to gawp over - so it's more real than most rendered supercars we see on the Interwaves. Underneath sits a 6.2-litre V8 producing 650 horses, all sent to the rear wheels via a ‘Graziano' gearbox.
A relatively lithe kerbweight of just 1,300kg means the 0-62mph sprint is estimated at 3.2 seconds, 0-124mph in around 8.9 seconds, and a top speed of 211mph. The looks have been changed since its early conception, along with the cockpit design, to keep "up to date with current trends in automotive design".

Oh, and as for that name? Apparently, the ‘Hussars' were, by the time they were formed in Poland in the 17th century, very heavily armed and very effective cavalry units. Meaning this Polish supercar - the country's first - references the most important rule of Top Gear's Guide To Building Supercars: give it a fighty name.
