The prototype of the supercar was presented as part of the event dedicated to the launch of the new season of the “Novelty of the Year” award from Auto.ru.

The project is led by Russian driver Roman Rusinov, winner of the European and Asian Le Mans Series and the World Endurance Championship. The car meets racing standards, but can be homologated for road use. The prototype is equipped with high-speed but still road tires and a racing steering wheel with display, but has no roll cage.
The Rossa concept is based on a carbon fiber monocoque with an integrated gas tank. The suspension is a pushrod design with a rear carbon fiber subframe and allows for ground clearance adjustment. The braking system is equipped with AP Racing six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers.
This Rossa concept prototype has already traveled 9,500 kilometers. Its propulsion is powered by a 5.2-liter V10 atmospheric engine. The engine develops 680 horsepower and allows the car to accelerate to 100 kilometers per hour in 3.2 seconds. The maximum claimed speed is 380 kilometers per hour.
Maximum speed is 380 kilometers per hour.
The prototype features a robotized transmission, but the production model will have a different drivetrain and engine — Judd’s 800-horsepower V10, which was used in LMP1-class prototypes in the 2000s and early 2010s. It weighs a hundred kilograms less than the current unit, and so the dynamic performance will be different.
At the same time, the engine will have a lower weight than the current unit.
The Rossa race car is scheduled to be ready by 2024-2025, while a certified version for road use won’t be available until 2026 at the earliest. The estimated price of the supercar is 500,000 euros (more than 48 million rubles).
