Adamastor Furia: Portugal's first supercar packs a Ford V6 and 1,000 kg of downforce
Portugal isn't a name that comes up often in supercar conversations, but Adamastor wants to change that. The company's debut car, the Furia, has just completed dynamic testing at the Portimão circuit — prototype #001 lapped the 4.7 km track with no reported reliability issues. With a price tag of €1.6 million (around $1.7 million / £1.3 million) and a run of just 60 cars, this is a direct play for the same wallets that buy Koenigseggs and Paganis.
The car
Adamastor was founded in 2010 and has spent over a decade building composite components for motorsport — a background that shows in the Furia's construction. The chassis is full carbon fiber and weighs roughly 1,100 kg dry. A Venturi floor generates over 1,000 kg of downforce at 155 mph, figures that put it in the same aerodynamic conversation as GT3 race cars. The engine is a 3.5-liter twin-turbo Ford EcoBoost V6 producing 650 horsepower and 571 Nm of torque, good for 0–62 mph in 3.5 seconds. The choice of a Ford unit is deliberate: the EcoBoost V6 has an extensive motorsport pedigree and a well-understood tuning envelope.
The May 2026 Portimão test validated both the aerodynamics and the powertrain. Test drivers reported no early-development gremlins — a rare positive data point for a startup at this stage, per Top Gear. Telemetry gathered in the pits confirmed the car is behaving as the simulations predicted.
The market reality
At €1.6 million, the Furia lines up against Koenigsegg, Rimac, and the Aston Martin Valkyrie — established names with dealer networks and years of homologation history. Adamastor has neither a confirmed UK nor US distributor, and the road-legal version's homologation status outside Europe is still unclear. Initial targets are Europe and the UAE.
The 60-unit cap is a credibility move as much as a business decision — it keeps production manageable while positioning the car as genuinely exclusive. A track-only version is also planned, though FIA approval for competitive racing hasn't been confirmed, reports CarBuzz.
Whether 60 buyers materialise is the open question. The engineering heritage is real, the test results are encouraging, and the hardware looks credible on paper. But "Portugal's first supercar" still needs a sales channel before it becomes anything more than a very compelling prototype.
