The Arrinera Hussarya is a sports car project made by Polish automotive manufacturer Arrinera Automotive. It was touted by Arrinera as the first supercar designed and engineered in Poland.[4] It was named after Poland's Hussar cavalry.[5][6]

In 2021, it was announced that according to the latest quarterly report(dated 11.08.21), due to funding problems, the project will not be further developed.

Prototype[]

The prototype of Arrinera premiered on 9 June 2011 to shareholders and investors. Some journalists gave the supercar the name "Venocara", although Arrinera Automotive has never officially used that name.[7] It featured scissor doors for both the concept car and the production car.[8]

In August 2012 Arrinera Automotive officially announced the name Hussarya for its new model. The name is derived from Poland's Hussar cavalry of the 16th century.[9]

Specifications[]

The Arrinera Hussarya 33 was to be tested with a mid-mounted General Motors-sourced supercharged 6.2-litre V8 producing 800 PS (588 kW; 789 bhp). This engine based on GM's LS3 engine, and drives the rear wheels.[10][11][12]

Top speed 350 km/h (217.5 mph) 0–100 km/h (0.0–62.1 mph) 3.0 seconds

Standing quarter-mile (402 m) 10 seconds
Braking 133 m (from 200 km/h to 0)

Special editions[]

On 18 July 2012, it was announced that Arrinera would produce 33 units of a special "Series 33" version of the Hussarya, with exclusive designs on the exterior and the interior.[13] Regular production of this and other Hussarya models appears not to have commenced.

Controversy[]

In 2012 Polish radio and online journalist Jacek Balkan asserted that the vehicle was not an original supercar but a low-cost replica of a Lamborghini using parts from an Opel Corsa and an Audi A6.[14][15] Arrinera sued Balkan for slander, but the journalist was acquitted.[16]

Motorsport[]

In 2017 the Hussarya was driven in qualifying for the Britcar series race at Donington Park by half-Polish professional driver, Jonny MacGregor as an invitation entry. The car qualified fourth, but an engine blow-up meant it was unable to participate in the rest of the race weekend.
