♔ ‘Think of the Katla as an Italian tantrum with wheels.’
The Giamaro Katla happens when Italians get bored with subtlety and decide to build a volcano on wheels.
2,128 horsepower. Four turbos. Three keys—each unlocking new levels of brown-trouser terror.
Built just down the road from Ferrari, it’s a hypercar with all the delicacy of a thunderclap in a cathedral.
Read on. Just don’t expect sympathy for your Bugatti.
◼︎ The Build-Up
- Somewhere in Italy’s Motor Valley, someone looked at a Pagani and said, ‘Hmm, needs more boom.’
- Enter Giacomo Commendatore, a former Pagani investor, who decided Ferrari needed a loud new neighbour.
- The result? The Giamaro Katla is named after a notoriously unpredictable Icelandic volcano.
◼︎ The Madness
- Under the bonnet: a 7.0-litre quad-turbo V12 with 2,128 bhp.
- Yes, it’s RWD, and there’s a manual option. No, your driving licence won’t survive.
- You get three keys. White for ‘calm,’ Black for ‘brave,’ Red for ‘bonkers.’
◼︎ The Engineering
- Carbon monocoque, adaptive suspension, and an active wing cleverer than some hedge fund managers.
- The design borrowed from the ’90s, back when supercars looked dangerous—because they were.
◼︎ The Numbers
- Only 100 are to be built. The price starts at €2.47m. Optional extras are another million and a priest.
- Deliveries are expected from 2027. Assuming the factory doesn’t catch fire from its creation.
♔ ‘You don’t drive the Katla. You survive it. Barely. While giggling like a lunatic.’
