AmoritzGT DoniRosset 2013

The Brazillian design studio AmoritzGT, headed by ex-Volkswagen designer Fernando Morita, has just unveiled their prototype supercar which was commissioned by William Denis Rosset as an extravagant gift for his father Donino Rosset. The prototype took a staggering 35,000 man-hours to complete, and all the work was carried out by a team of just six people.

The AmoritzGT DoniRosset isn’t just some fancy fiberglass body draped over a floppy ladder-frame steel chassis either. It’s a carbon-fiber bodied, aluminium-chassis piece of artwork powered by a Dodge Viper-sourced twin-turbocharged 8.4 litre V10 hooked up to a six-speed sequential transmission.

Design features of the AmoritzGT DoniRosset include a central driver’s seat with two passenger seats set further behind, LED lighting both front and back, five centrally positioned exhausts pipes, and a logo plated in 24 karat gold with two emerald stones either side.

Fernando Morita comments on his design: “The one-box body is in two-tone to emphasize the reference to a F1 car, where the dark parts give the idea of structural basis and the lighter color a second skin. The main theme was to merge form and function, then all the lines used are directly related to the mechanical parts. The interior and exterior are also connected, seeking simplicity and direction of lines converging to the pilot.”

........Finally, a Brazillian machine that's not a fugly, slow forgotten cousin of VW Beetle. It's not exactly what I call classical beauty, but nevertheless, liked. By the way, this Fernando dude is not related to one Pat Morita by any chance....?

South America building a supercar is something I never heard of.

The central driver's seat is interesting and I love using the McLaren F1 in Gran Turismo and TDU because of that reason.

......What he said....

I saw this car in person. The design is gorgeous, but it's just a mockup. We had to push the car to take photos of it:

This is almost a fantastic looking car. It tries too hard but it is far nicer than the vast majority of vapourware manufacturers.
