When you think of European supercar countries, the list is both short and predictable. Italy, Germany, the UK, and you can maybe squeeze Sweden if you’re counting Koenigsegg. Unfortunately, Portugal has never been on that list, and to be fair, it’s never really tried to be either.
That all changes with Adamastor, a Porto-based outfit that’s spent the better part of 15 years quietly building carbon fiber components for motorsport before deciding it was time to put its name on a finished car.
The result is the Furia, the first supercar ever designed, developed, and built in Portugal. And after a second round of testing at Portimão last week, this thing is no longer a render or a wishful press release. It’s actually running, and real.
A Ford GT Engine Walks Into a Carbon Tub
Bolted into the Furia’s carbon fiber monocoque is the same 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 that lived in the back of the second-generation Ford GT. Tuned here for 650+ horsepower and 421 lb-ft of torque, the EcoBoost-derived V6 isn’t the most exotic mill in the segment, but enthusiasts know what this engine is capable of when given the right home.
And make no mistake, the Furia is most definitely a serious home. Adamastor pairs the V6 with a Hewland sequential gearbox lifted straight from the racing world, AP Racing brakes (six-piston up front, four in the rear), and fully adjustable double-wishbone suspension at all four corners. The 0-62 sprint takes a claimed 3.5 seconds, with a top speed north of 186 mph in road trim.
Aerodynamic Obsession
Aesthetically, we couldn’t help but think of the Aston Martin Valkyrie at first glance, but the real engineering story is in the aero. The body is full carbon fiber, and the underbody hides two Venturi channels doing the heavy lifting on downforce.
It’s a setup that lets the car stay visually clean without a parade of wings and dive planes hanging off it. The brand quotes 1,000 kg of downforce at 155 mph in road spec and a frankly ridiculous 1,800 kg in track configuration.
Combine it with a dry weight floating around 2,300 pounds, and you start to understand what Adamastor is actually building here. It feels like a track car with a license plate.
Quirks Included
There are a few details give this thing some real character. The starter button is mounted on the roof, which Adamastor frames as a “ritual” rather than a quirk (it’s a feature, not a bug). Whether that holds up after the fiftieth time you reach for it on a hot summer day is a separate conversation. The cockpit is a two-seat carbon tub with an integrated roll bar pulled directly from race-car thinking, and the steering wheel looks like it was borrowed from an LMP grid.
Buyers also get a serious amount of customization runway, from material choices to layout, since each example is hand-assembled by a dedicated team at the Porto facility.
