(from Arrinera Press
Release) Description of the Arrinera supercar
Arrinera will be a
Polish-British car in the “supercar” segment, which in terms of
driving parameters, quality of workmanship and performance can
compete with the cars manufactured by the most renowned companies in
this market segment. Work on the prototype has been completed and
the project is entering the crucial phase of preparing a
manufacturing/production version of the car
Arrinera’s design
assumptions aim at fulfilling all the following conditions, which
distinguish a ”super car” from mass-produced sports cars:
•
extraordinarily almost-perfect traction throughout the speed
range,
• brake deceleration of 1,1-1,3 g (10,79-12,75 m/s²),
• power/weight ratio of 1,1-2,9 kg/1HP,
• acceleration 0 - 200 km/h below 10 seconds,
• acceleration 0 - 300 km/h below 30 seconds,
• acceleration to 100 km/h below 4 seconds,
• braking from 300 to 0 km/h below 7 seconds,
• the 0-300-0 km/h test below 40 seconds,
• cornering g-force over 1 ,
• 1/4 mile time below 12 seconds,
• centrally positioned engine,
Lee Noble, a famous
British car designer will lend his name to the project. He is
currently a member of the supervisory board and a shareholder in
Arrinera Automotive S.A. He will be responsible for technical
aspects related to the supercar as well as for the design and
production of the rolling chassis. Completion of work on the
prototype means that the project now enters into the crucial phase
of preparing a manufacturing/production version of the car which
will take at least 12 months – typical for conditions connected with
the production of cars in the ”supercar” segment
Lee Noble is a British
entrepreneur, designer and automobile engineer. He has been
acclaimed as the most prolific British car manufacturer ever. Across
three decades, he has manufactured almost 2000 cars based on his own
designs. Almost all of them produced innovative performance,
sometimes at the expense of comfort and flashy styling. The first of
them – Ultima – was used as a test mule for a model which was to
become the fastest production car in the world – the McLaren F1.
As part of implementing
its strategy, the management of Arrinera Automotive has signed an
exclusive deal for negotiations to buy a 50% stake in Fenix
Automotive Ltd from Great Britain, which is involved in the
construction project of the Fenix sports car. Arrinera plans to
complete the transaction by the end of the third quarter of 2011.
This investment will enable Arrinera to carry out the strategy for
building a group of companies with a very strong position in the
world market of low-volume production in the ”supercar” and sports
car segments, gaining access to foreign markets and
technology/know-how while operating in a prestigious and elite
market. Fenix Automotive is controlled by Lee Noble.
Arrinera Automotive plans to commence production of cars in Poland.
Instead of creating its own manufacturing facilities, the company is
concentrating on finding suitable subcontractors in our country and
talks with potential partners having necessary expertise in car
manufacturing are well advanced.
The next step in the
execution of the company’s strategy is to begin work on a new car –
this time in the “fun car” segment. It is a single- or two seat car,
fully open without luggage space, weighing less than 500 kg and
power in the range of 200-300 HP. Its price should not exceed 70,000
GBP
Arrinera Automotive
expects the target volume of production of all three models will be
from 600-700 cars a year.
Arrinera Automotive S.A.
is preparing for its first quotation of shares at the New Connect
market. The majority shareholder of Arrinera Automotive is the VENO
S.A. venture capital fund, listed on the New Connect market for 3
years.
Appearance of Arrinera
The car body styling is
characterized by sharp and dynamic lines, which clearly indicate the
massive potential of the supercar. The front of the car is close to
the ground which vastly improves its aerodynamic properties. Two air
intakes allow cooling air to be directed onto the hot brakes. When
looking at the car from the side, one cannot help the impression
that the car is surprisingly asymmetrical: the passenger cabin is
moved forwards and the door line rises distinctively – these
features are something that we do not see very often in everyday
traffic. Such a futuristic car body is the result of the central
positioning of the massive engine, which dominates the whole design.
At the back of the car, unique muffler housings with diffusers
resemble the exhaust nozzles of a jet airplane. The Arrinera
supercar will be equipped with a 650HP engine. The car body will be
unique and its aerodynamics and lightweight construction will make
it possible to maximize the output of the engine. The stylist
responsible for Arrinera’s lines is Pavlo Burkatskyy.
Chassis and body
The chassis designed by
Lee Noble will be made from high-strength steel of variable section
and considerable torsional strength. It will be extraordinarily
light and characterized by high deformation resistance. The
expertise of the British designer (over 30 years in the industry)
ensures a suitable level of protection for the cars in this
category. Optionally, the body, interior and floor can be made of
Carbon/Kevlar fiber composite materials.
Interior
Individual elements will
be made of high quality leather and composite materials. The car is
equipped with an audio system, electric windows and mirrors and air
conditioning. For safety reasons – in case of a rollover –
reinforced roll bars have been positioned behind the seats and both
seats are equipped with 4-point seat belts.
Engine
An 8-cylinder 6.2-litre
engine with a maximum power of 650HP and 820 Nm torque.
Wheels
19-inch wheels create
additional space for an expanded braking system. Light-alloy wheels
with 255/35 R19 tyres (front) and 335/30 R19 (rear).
Brakes
Front wheels are
equipped with 6-piston callipers and 380 mm brake discs. Rear wheels
with 4-piston callipers and 350 mm brake discs.
Suspension
Independent, multi-link,
optimized for high speed cornering.
Night vision camera
The car can be fitted
with a night vision camera option, which monitors the area in front
of the car at the distance of a few hundred metres. If the camera
detects an object with a temperature exceeding the ambient
temperature (presumably an animal or a human), the driver can see a
bright and clear image of this object on a display located in the
central console within normal sight line. This may significantly
improve the safety level at night and when driving in fog as
compared to xenon headlights.
