Based in Porto, Adamastor is positioning the Furia as the starting point of a broader program focused on race-derived engineering for street use. The company intends to develop both homologated road cars and more extreme track-oriented configurations under the same platform.

The model arrives in a segment traditionally dominated by established European manufacturers. Adamastor, coming from a country not commonly associated with high-end supercar production, is emphasizing lightweight construction, aerodynamic efficiency, and handcrafted assembly as defining elements of the project. Limited to 60 units and priced from €1.6 million, the project combines road-going performance ambitions with a long-term motorsport objective linked to the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

A Carbon-Fiber Supercar Designed Around Aerodynamics

The Furia was developed from a clean-sheet design with aerodynamics integrated from the earliest stages. Its full carbon-fiber body incorporates two Venturi channels underneath the car, a solution intended to generate a large portion of the downforce without relying heavily on external aerodynamic appendages.

According to Motor1, the car measures around 15 feet in length, more than 7.2 feet in width, and slightly over 3.3 feet in height. The proportions follow the traditional low-slung supercar formula aimed at maximizing high-speed stability.

Inside, the two-seat cockpit is integrated into a carbon-fiber monocoque structure with an integrated roll bar. The architecture mirrors approaches commonly used in race cars, reinforcing the model’s track-focused identity while remaining street legal in its homologated version.

Lightweight Construction Paired With Race-Derived Hardware

Adamastor states that the Furia weighs approximately 2,315 pounds dry, a figure achieved through extensive carbon-fiber use and a design strategy centered on reducing mass wherever possible. The car adopts a longitudinal mid-engine layout with rear-wheel drive, prioritizing balance and responsiveness.

The suspension setup uses fully adjustable double wishbones, allowing different configurations depending on driving conditions. Braking is handled by an AP Racing system featuring six-piston aluminum calipers at the front and four-piston units at the rear.

The transmission also reflects the project’s motorsport ambitions. The Furia uses a Hewland sequential gearbox operated through steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters, a setup commonly associated with racing applications rather than conventional road cars.

Ford-Derived Powertrain and Ambitions Beyond the Road

Power comes from a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 developed by Ford Performance for the Ford GT. Adamastor says the engine produces more than 650 horsepower along with 421 pound-feet of torque available from low engine speeds.

Claimed performance figures include a 0 to 62 mph sprint in around 3.5 seconds and a top speed exceeding 186 mph in the road-legal configuration. The company also plans a more aggressive track-focused version capable of generating up to 3,968 pounds of downforce at 155 mph.

Production will be capped at approximately 60 units, each assembled by a dedicated team in Portugal. The process is intended to allow extensive customization while maintaining direct quality oversight during construction.
