Portugal has never had a supercar of its own — until now. The Adamastor Furia is a carbon-fibre, ground-effect two-seater built near Porto, powered by the 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 from the Ford GT. Only 60 road cars are planned, from €1.6 million before tax, and the prototype is already testing on public roads (Motor1, Echo Boomer).
ADAMASTOR FURIA AT A GLANCE
Ford Performance 3.5 V6 twin-turbo, mid-engined, rear-wheel drive · officially 650 hp, latest provisional figures up to 750 hp · Hewland sequential gearbox · 60 road cars · from €1.6 million before tax · first deliveries planned for 2026
What Is the Adamastor Furia?
Adamastor is a young company from Porto, and the Furia is its first car. It is built at the Adamastor factory in Perafita, Matosinhos, where development started in 2019 as part of an investment of around €17 million (Echo Boomer). The goal is to bring racing technology to the road: the Furia was designed from a clean sheet with aerodynamics at its centre, and Adamastor plans both a road-legal car and a more extreme track version, with the long-term dream of racing at the 24 Hours of Le Mans (Motor1).
The name Adamastor comes from the sea giant in Luís de Camões’ 16th-century epic Os Lusíadas — a fitting symbol for a small country taking on the world’s hypercar makers. The design has drawn plenty of comparisons with the Aston Martin Valkyrie: the F1-style nose, bulging wheel arches, small headlights and cocoon-like cockpit (Carscoops).

The official Adamastor figures are 650 hp at 5,500 rpm and 571 Nm (Adamastor). In 2026, Portuguese media reported higher, still provisional figures for the road car: around 750 hp and 1,000 Nm, with a top speed above 300 km/h — and potentially more than 370 km/h with longer gear ratios (Razão Automóvel, Echo Boomer). A race version is planned with around 500 hp to meet GT regulations.
Ground-Effect Aero Instead of Giant Wings
The Furia does not rely on a huge rear wing. Most of its downforce comes from two Venturi tunnels under the car, the same ground-effect principle used in modern Le Mans prototypes and Formula 1 (Adamastor). In track specification, Adamastor claims up to about 1,800 kg of downforce at 250 km/h; the road car makes around 1,000 kg (Autoblog, Razão Automóvel). According to Adamastor’s co-founder and executive director Ricardo Quintas, the exterior design was led entirely by the head of aerodynamics (Razão Automóvel).
Underneath is pure race-car hardware: fully adjustable double-wishbone suspension, AP Racing brakes with six-piston calipers at the front and four at the rear, and a Hewland sequential gearbox operated by paddles on the steering wheel (Motor1).
Testing, Road Plates and Deliveries
Prototype #001 has completed track sessions at the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve in Portimão, where test driver Diogo Matos helped fine-tune the set-up; Adamastor says the car ran without reliability problems (Autoblog). In April 2026, the Portuguese transport authority IMT approved the prototype for public roads with the red test plate 400001, and it has been spotted around Porto near the factory, testing in city traffic and in the mountains (Echo Boomer).
In June, the Furia led the convoy of the Yannimize Grand Tour 2026 from Lisbon to Ibiza. “It was more than just a road test; it was a test of character,” said Fred Tomé Ribeiro, Adamastor’s director of engineering (Adamastor press release). First customer deliveries are planned for 2026; Ricardo Quintas has previously said that 8 cars were sold and 12 reserved, with buyers from Europe, Canada and the UAE (Razão Automóvel, Echo Boomer).
How the Furia Compares
| Car | Engine | Power | Units | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adamastor Furia | 3.5 V6 twin-turbo | 650 hp (750 hp provisional) | 60 | €1.6m + tax |
| Ford GT (2017–2022) | 3.5 V6 twin-turbo | 647–660 hp | about 1,350 | from about $450,000 |
| Aston Martin Valkyrie | 6.5 V12 hybrid | 1,160 hp | 150 coupés | about £2.5m |
Batman Garage Verdict
A small Portuguese company building a ground-effect hypercar around a proven Ford GT engine is exactly the kind of story we love. The price puts it in serious company, and Adamastor still has to prove itself with deliveries and final figures — but if the Furia drives as well as it looks, Portugal finally has its first supercar.
