This track-only hypercar looks and feels like a fighter jet
What's the story
Santiago Sanchez Rivero has unveiled a unique track-only hypercar, the Sanrivatti One. The vehicle features an innovative "Apex Position" layout, where the driver is positioned head-first with arms outstretched toward the steering wheel and legs stretched back toward pedals mounted behind them. This design offers a vertical field of view of 28 degrees, much wider than conventional hypercars.
Design elements
The car's bodywork takes inspiration from fighter jets
The Sanrivatti One is powered by a naturally aspirated 5.5-liter Judd V10 engine, which targets an impressive 800hp at 9,000rpm and around 700Nm of torque.
The power is transmitted through a six-speed sequential Hewland transmission.
The car's bodywork takes inspiration from fighter jets and peregrine falcons' hunting dives, with a carbon fiber tub for lightweight performance.
Driving experience
Sanchez Rivero has introduced a dedicated driver program
The Sanrivatti One offers a unique driving experience with a normal steering wheel and foot pedals, unlike experimental racers that use hand controls or joystick setups.
To help buyers adapt to this unconventional vehicle, Sanchez Rivero has introduced a dedicated driver program.
This initiative is more like a club than just a checklist for delivery, teaching clients how to drive their new car.
Market entry
The 1st customer delivery is expected in 2030
The first customer delivery of the Sanrivatti One is expected in 2030.
The vehicle's development, validation, and testing are still ongoing, which means its output, weight, and top speed could change before it hits the track.
The Sanrivatti One joins a line of recent track-only machines that prioritize driver feel over raw numbers.
