Garagisti: The Crazy Dream of Fully Analog

At a time when even your toaster could soon receive a software update, Garagisti & Co. dares to do the unthinkable.

Let’s be honest, this initiative has little chance of leading to commercialization, and Garagisti’s wild dream, with completely outlandish pricing, is likely to remain just a prototype. But we are charmed by the initiative! The young British brand unveils the GP1, a hypercar without chips, without a giant screen, and above all, without compromise. A machine born from a blank sheet with one obsession: to put the driver back at the center of the experience.

Under its body sculpted by Angel Guerra, a former Bugatti and Rimac designer, the GP1 hides a heart that beats at 9,000 rpm. It features a brand new 6.6-liter naturally aspirated V12, developed by Italtecnica, delivering 800 horsepower and over 700 Nm of torque. It is paired with a six-speed manual transmission designed by Xtrac. Yes, manual, reminding younger generations that a stick shift is not just a vintage decor accessory.

The design evokes the 80s to 2000s, with nods to the Stratos Zero, Countach, and other garage icons. There’s no copying here; every curve has an aerodynamic role. The massive rear diffuser does not pretend and contributes to stability, all for less than 1,000 kg dry weight. Guaranteed sensations.

Garagisti honors a certain idea of the automobile

Inside, there’s room to breathe. No overwhelming screens, no unnecessary controls. Two bucket seats, clear controls, and an ergonomics designed so that hands stay on the steering wheel. It’s the anti-digital hypercar, a world where sensations take precedence over algorithms.

Garagisti is also a coalition of specialists. DEXET for the chassis and carbon, Brembo for the brakes, Öhlins for the suspensions. An ultra-limited production of only 25 units, each priced… just under 3 million euros excluding taxes. We warned you! When we see what Bugatti, Rimac, or Ferrari offer, we can guess that Garagisti has no chance of finding its place in the sun, even if buyers benefit from a customization program worthy of a haute couture house.

Is the BYD Atto 3 finally on par with the Tesla Model Y?

The first twelve clients will be entitled to the Open Doors Programme, an immersion in the creation of their car, including workshops, discussions with engineers, and certainly some strong coffees to talk about suspension settings.

Mario Escudero, co-founder, sums up the house spirit by wondering what would have happened if the golden age of analog supercars had never been interrupted. The GP1 is his answer, a love letter to raw sensations, the smell of gasoline, and the metallic clatter of a gearbox that speaks to you. In a world saturated with technologies, Garagisti reminds us that a steering wheel is experienced above all with the hands, ears, and heart… and reality reminds us that a car is primarily purchased with reason and the wallet.
