GP1: V-12 Power, Six-Speed Manual, No Compromise

In an era dominated by silent electric hypercars and digital dashboards, a new name is emerging from Britain with a bold message: driving should be raw, mechanical, and utterly engaging. The Garagisti & Co GP1 is their opening statement — a naturally aspirated V-12 supercar with a manual gearbox, limited to just 25 units worldwide.

This is not an EV with fake exhaust noise. This is a car for drivers who crave the unfiltered connection between man and machine.

Highlights at a Glance:

All-new 6.6-liter naturally aspirated V-12 engine by Italtecnica.
800 hp at 9,000 rpm, over 516 lb-ft of torque.
Rear-wheel drive, six-speed manual gearbox by Xtrac.
Weighs just 2,204 lbs, promising exceptional agility.
Limited production: only 25 units, priced from $3.3 million.
Styling inspired by 1970s wedge-era icons like the Lancia Stratos Zero and Lamborghini Countach.
Designed by former Bugatti and Rimac designer Angel Guerra.

A Statement Against Electrification

While much of the automotive world is embracing electrification, Garagisti & Co believes that true performance cars need sound, character, and driver involvement. The GP1 is powered by a bespoke 6.6-liter naturally aspirated V-12, developed in collaboration with Italtecnica, an Italian motorsport engineering powerhouse.

This engine delivers a spine-tingling 800 hp at a screaming 9,000 rpm, accompanied by more than 516 lb-ft of torque — all without a single turbocharger or electric motor.

Manual Transmission and Lightweight Engineering

All that power is sent to the rear wheels through a longitudinally mounted six-speed manual gearbox from Xtrac, chosen for its precise, mechanical feel. At just 2,204 lbs, the GP1 weighs less than many compact hatchbacks, giving it an enviable power-to-weight ratio.

Brembo braking systems, Öhlins suspension, and other motorsport-grade components ensure that the GP1’s performance is matched by control and reliability.

Design Inspired by the Golden Era

Designed by Angel Guerra, a veteran of Bugatti and Rimac, the GP1 pays homage to the wedge-shaped masterpieces of the 1970s. Its sharp, sculpted bodywork draws influence from the Lancia Stratos Zero, Lamborghini Countach, and the works of design legend Marcello Gandini.

Aerodynamics have been extensively refined, with one of the largest diffusers ever fitted to a road car dominating the rear. Four exhaust pipes sit proudly above it, flanked by futuristic X-shaped LED taillights.

A Minimalist Interior for Maximum Connection

Inside, the GP1 rejects oversized touchscreens and digital distractions. The driver-focused cockpit features a prominent gear lever, tactile physical switches, and a central tunnel designed for function, not flash. Garagisti & Co describes it simply: “Just you, the car, and the road ahead.”

Exclusivity and Price

Only 25 GP1s will ever be built, with a starting price of $3.3 million (£2.45 million) before taxes, shipping, and bespoke customization. The first 12 buyers will gain entry to Garagisti’s Open Doors program, providing behind-the-scenes access to the engineers, designers, and the build process itself.

The Return of Mechanical Passion

The Garagisti & Co GP1 isn’t just another expensive supercar; it’s a statement. At a time when most high-performance cars are becoming digital and electric, this British newcomer is betting big on mechanical purity, analogue engagement, and emotional connection.

For the lucky 25 owners, the GP1 will be more than transportation — it will be an experience, a rare blend of craftsmanship and engineering that echoes the golden age of supercars.
