Portugal’s Adamastor Furia Brings Carbon Fiber Engineering to the Supercar Market

Portugal has entered the supercar conversation with the Adamastor Furia, a lightweight carbon fiber machine developed by Porto-based company Adamastor, a manufacturer originally focused on motorsport composite components.

Unlike many startup supercar projects that never progress beyond renders or prototypes, the Furia has already completed high-speed testing and is moving toward limited production.

Carbon fiber sits at the center of the project

The Furia is built around a full carbon fiber monocoque chassis, combined with a complete carbon fiber body structure.

That approach gives the car an exceptionally low dry weight of around:

• 2,315 pounds (1,050 kg)

For a modern supercar with over 650 horsepower, that figure places the Furia firmly in lightweight-focused territory.

Ford Performance V6 powers the platform

The powertrain is based on a:

• 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 from Ford Performance

The engine reportedly produces:

• over 650 hp
• 421 lb-ft of torque

The setup is paired with:

• Hewland sequential gearbox
• AP Racing braking system
• fully adjustable double-wishbone suspension

Performance targets include:

• 0–62 mph in 3.5 seconds
• top speed above 186 mph

Aerodynamics designed around downforce

Adamastor emphasizes aerodynamic efficiency as a core part of the Furia’s engineering.

The underbody uses:

• dual Venturi tunnels

to generate substantial downforce:

• approximately 1,000 kg at 155 mph in road trim
• up to 1,800 kg in track configuration

This places the car closer to track-oriented hypercar philosophy than traditional grand touring design.

Motorsport-inspired interior

Inside, the Furia continues its race-focused theme with:

• exposed carbon tub structure
• integrated roll bar
• LMP-style steering wheel
• roof-mounted starter button

The company also plans extensive customization for customers, with each vehicle hand-assembled at its Porto facility.

Limited production and future ambitions

Adamastor plans to build only:

• 60 units

with pricing starting around:

• €1.6 million before tax

The company also hints at future development plans, including:

• road and track variants
• possible Le Mans-related ambitions

Editorial perspective

The Furia is important not simply because it is Portugal’s first supercar.

What makes it notable is that it follows a path increasingly common among serious low-volume performance manufacturers:
👉 start with advanced composites expertise, then expand into full vehicle engineering.

Carbon fiber capability is often the foundation that allows smaller companies to compete with larger manufacturers in:

• lightweighting,
• stiffness,
• and aerodynamic integration.

For the composites industry, projects like the Furia show how specialized carbon fiber manufacturing knowledge can evolve into complete high-performance vehicle development.

Whether Adamastor becomes a lasting supercar brand remains to be seen. But unlike many ambitious startups, it already has something crucial:
👉 a running car built around real composite engineering.
