The 965-HP Puritalia Berlinetta Has More Power Than A LaFerrari
Did you love the LaFerrari, but you didn't want the standard mid-engine hypercar like everyone else? Puritalia felt the same way and developed an absolute masterpiece.
The young Italian design company has come out with a brilliant sophomore car. It's beautiful, like an Italian car should be. It looks perfectly beautiful and aggressive. There seems to be a whiff of Alfa Romeo in this design, but only just.
Not only is this car beautiful, its powerful. The 5-liter V8 motor behind the front axle combined with an electric motor on the rear axle makes a staggering 965 horsepower and 920 lb-ft of torque. The engine is paired with a seven-speed manual transmission uses paddle shifters to help send that power to the rear wheels, and the rear wheels only.
All of this power helps send this car from 0-62 in just 2.7 seconds with a top speed of 208 mph. This car will also have three driving modes to choose from: Sport, Corsa, and e-Power. The e-Power mode allows the car to be driven with electric only. However, this will only last about 12 miles. But why would you want to choose e-Power for only 12 miles when you can use the V8 with it and get 965 horsepower? Seems like an easy decision to me.
There will only be 150 units made and each one will start at $627,000. But that is much cheaper than other cars of that caliber. So this is quite the bargain!
