Laffite Automobili’s founders, Bruno Laffite and Pascal Cohen, along with their design team from GFG style and research and production team from LM Gianetti, recently unveiled a range of hypercars inspired by Formula One racing. These exquisite hypercars, called the Laffite “Gemelli,” were built to be safe for everyday driving and have undergone five years of development to meet rigorous standards for safety, design, performance, and engineering.
Bruno Laffite, the nephew of former Formula One driver Jacques Laffite, has skillfully incorporated the Formula One legacy into the design of his hypercars. With a decade of experience as a racecar driver and a passionate fan, Bruno Laffite expressed his desire to fulfill his childhood dream of creating street-legal race cars.
In a visually stunning showcase, complemented by atmospheric lighting, energetic electronic music, and subtle fog machines, Laffite Automobili presented five fully electric supercar models. The event commenced with the unveiling of the Atrax, an SUV-type supercar designed for off-roading adventures.
The Barchetta and Barchetta Coupe models followed, featuring striking, two-seater cockpits that aimed to replicate the exhilaration of Formula One racing for fortunate passengers. With astonishing acceleration from 1 to 200 mph in just 1.9 seconds, the LM1 model left the crowd in awe, solidifying the legacy of Laffite Automobili.
Luisa Gianetti, a member of the production team at LM Gianetti, revealed that it took more than 15,000 hours of meticulous work to achieve engineering perfection for these models. Focusing on key elements such as aerodynamics, performance, and weight, every intricate detail was carefully developed by their dedicated team.
Each hypercar model is outfitted with F1 specifications, ensuring top-notch performance. Additionally, they boast high-speed charging capabilities, allowing for quick and convenient recharging. These cutting-edge vehicles feature state-of-the-art racing technology, providing an unparalleled driving experience. Furthermore, their sleek exteriors flawlessly merge luxury, racing aesthetics, and environmental consciousness, representing a harmonious blend of style and sustainability.
