Sorpasso GT3

As announced four months ago the FV Frangivento has now unveiled its new supercar, the Sorpasso GT3.

The car is made of carbon fiber and according to the customer’s wishes. The black and red combination dominates outside and inside, and the production process of this custom supercar took 30 days and included two programs, Program Sviluppo and Program Ego.

Its more aggressive look connects it to the company’s previous hyper car, the Asfanè. The Sorpasso GT3 is equipped with a large rear wing and an air conveyor on the roof. It rides on 20-inch wheels with Pirelli PZero Trofeo tires.

Inside, the best materials were used. The seats are upholstered in black leather and Alcantara with contrasting red stitching and the company logo on the header. Aluminum pedals and red flooring are just some of the accessories you’ll see once you enter the cockpit.

The Sorpasso GT3 is powered by a 5.2-liter V10 engine with 880 hp (647 kW). It reaches 62 mph in just 2.9 seconds with a top speed of over 211 mph (340 km / h), which is not bad for a car weighing 2866lb (1,300 kilograms).

Only three examples of this supercar have been produced, and they should reach their owners soon.
