Arrinera has announced that they will call their new supercar the Hussarya; not to be confused with the Pagani Huayra. The Polish startup named it’s newest super after Poland’s Hussar cavalry of the 16th century, known for their beauty, strength and maneuverability; traits Arrinera hopes the Hussarya will have.
More than a year ago the Hussarya was revealed as a computer-generated rendering, then took form a full fledged prototype. The final design for the dynamically-styled mid-engine coupe with very familiar Ferrari and Lamborghini styling, was honed over a period of 14 months in the aeronautical engineering labs of the Warsaw University of Technology.
Arrinera has taken a strong focus on the aerodynamics of the Hussarya, directly resulting in adjustable twin rear spoilers which raise or lower themselves depending on speed, and shoot to an upright position acting as an air brake when the car is brought to a halt.

The Hussarya will be entering the road and performance testing phase where engineers will be taking prototypes to a research center in Spain.
