The Ælla-60 Is a Lightweight, Ferrari-Powered, Manual Sports Car
The Ælla-60 from Art Machines by Anthony Jannarelly is a retro sports car from France focusing on simplicity and purity. Using a Ferrari 360 Modena as its base, the Ælla-60 ups power from its 3.6-liter V-8 to 473 hp, which is routed through a six-speed manual. Only 60 units will be built starting in 2026, with a nearly $900,000 price tag. Amidst all of the gigantic screens, AI voice assistants, and hands-free driving systems, there's a push for a return to purity in the world of sports cars and supercars. Gordon Murray's T.50 is one of the most appealing hypercars in recent memory due to its clean styling, naturally aspirated V-12, and six-speed manual gearbox. Instead of building a car from the ground up, others have taken to extensively modifying classics, such as Touring Superleggera's Ferrari 550-based Veloce12. Now, there's a new entrant in that space, the Ælla-60 from Art Machines by Anthony Jannarelly. The name sure is a mouthful, but the styling is exquisite. The curvaceous lines reference sports cars of the 1960s, and it's not surprising given designer Anthony Jannarelly's past efforts. The Frenchman created a retro sports car called the Jannarelly Design-1 back in 2016 and applied similar themes after taking over at Caterham with the 2023 Project V concept. Jannarelly also notably penned the W Motors Lykan Hypersport, which famously jumped between Abu Dhabi skyscrapers in Fast & Furious 7. Underneath the Ælla-60's sleek bodywork lies the bones of a Ferrari 360 Modena. Art Machines doesn't outright say this but calls out a "sports car from the 1990s." The mid-mounted naturally aspirated 3.6-liter V-8 hooked up to a six-speed manual is another giveaway. Art Machines claims an output of 473 horsepower and a dry curb weight of around 2491 pounds. That means the Ælla-60 can blast from zero to 62 mph in a claimed 3.5 seconds. With a potent powertrain, a DIY gearbox, and a feathery curb weight, the Ælla-60 sounds like it would be a joy to drive. And despite its old-school looks, the cabin is said to feature creature comforts such as air conditioning and phone connectivity. A production run of 60 units is planned, with assembly handled by Podium Advanced Technologies, an Italian company that has helped develop supercars such as the SCG 004S and restomods such as the Lancia Delta Futurista. Production kicks off in 2026, but sadly, this pure driving experience comes at a steep price of $895,380.
