Prototype

The prototype of Arrinera premiered on 9 June 2011 to shareholders and investors. Some journalists gave the supercar the name "Venocara", although Arrinera Automotive has never officially used that name.[7] It featured scissor doors for both the concept car and the production car.[8]

In August 2012 Arrinera Automotive officially announced the name Hussarya for its new model. The name is derived from Poland's Hussar cavalry of the 16th century.[9]

Specifications

The Arrinera Hussarya 33 will be tested with a mid-mounted General Motors-sourced supercharged 6.2-litre V8 producing 800 PS (588 kW; 789 bhp). This engine based on GM's LS3 engine, and drives the rear wheels.[10][11][12]

Special editions

On 18 July 2012, it was announced that Arrinera would produce 33 units of a special "Series 33" version of the Hussarya, with exclusive designs on the exterior and the interior.[13] Regular production of this and other Hussarya models appears not to have commenced.

Controversy

In 2012 Polish radio and online journalist Jacek Balkan asserted that the vehicle was not an original supercar but a low-cost replica of a Lamborghini using parts from an Opel Corsa and an Audi A6.[14][15] Arrinera sued Balkan for slander, but the journalist was acquitted.[16]

Motorsport

The Hussarya was driven in the Endurance competition, Britcar, in 2017 at Donington Park by half-Polish professional driver, Jonny MacGregor, for MacG Racing as an invitation entry. The car qualified fourth on the Saturday but an engine blow caused it to retire from the rest of the weekend and was replaced by MacG Racing's normal car.
