The Portuguese automotive industry, renowned for its entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to innovation, has reached a new milestone with the introduction of the FURIA, Portugal’s first supercar. This development underscores the nation’s capacity to transform ambitious ideas into reality, driven by a blend of idealism, passion, and expertise. Adamastor unveils this groundbreaking vehicle, marking a significant achievement in Portuguese automotive history.
Adamastor’s FURIA, introduced this week, represents a monumental step for the brand. Equipped with a Ford Performance engine, the FURIA boasts over 350 horsepower, positioning it firmly within the exclusive high-performance sports car segment. This sector is defined by superior quality components, unparalleled power, and advanced technology, catering to enthusiasts and collectors worldwide. Adamastor aims to establish itself prominently within this elite category.
The increasing affluence among consumers globally has led to a rise in demand for supercars. Adamastor anticipates that this trend will continue, further driving growth in the supercar market. The company’s dedication to precision engineering, exceptional driving experiences, and cutting-edge design and technology ensures that it remains at the forefront of innovation in the automotive industry.
Production and Expertise at Perafita
The FURIA is produced at Adamastor’s state-of-the-art facility in Perafita, near Oporto. This site houses a highly specialised team of engineers, designers, and production experts. Adamastor Advanced Technologies, the division responsible for developing the FURIA, possesses the capability to design, develop, and manufacture its own tools, equipment, and components. This division aims to lead in the production of high-quality carbon fibre components and other advanced engineering projects on a global scale.
Adamastor employs cutting-edge technical solutions from the initial design stages through to validation, development, and production. This approach positions the company as a key player in the manufacture of carbon fibre components for the automotive industry, new mobility solutions, and the competitive racing sector. The firm’s adaptability and forward-thinking strategies enable it to thrive in a constantly evolving industry.
Advanced Technologies and Strategic Partnerships
Adamastor Advanced Technologies leverages advanced CNC machining technology and modern 3D printing tools in its production processes. The company’s expertise extends to creating high-precision components such as carbon fibre bodies and fuel tanks for off-road racing vehicles, as well as propellers for wind power generation. The precision and reliability of these components are critical to their performance in demanding applications.
A robust network of partners further strengthens Adamastor’s capabilities. Collaborations with companies like Creodynamics, Canopy, and Altair bring specialised knowledge and technical expertise to the table. Creodynamics provides virtual wind tunnel simulations using CFD software, akin to those used in Formula 1. Canopy offers virtual race and lap time simulations employed by FIA World Endurance Championship and Formula 2 teams. Altair contributes with FEA (Finite Element Analysis) to ensure structural integrity and performance.
Through these strategic partnerships and its own advanced technological capabilities, Adamastor is poised to deliver exceptional engineering solutions and make its mark at the pinnacle of the supercar industry with the launch of the FURIA.
