The story of the new car manufacturer 777 Motors, founded by entrepreneur and collector Andrea Levy, has officially begun at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza. The first model is the 777 hypercar, a high-performance single-seater that will be produced in a limited edition of seven. 777 hypercar is the result of a collaboration between Dallara engineering, Gibson powertrain and Umberto Palermo Design. The 777 hypercar is at the top in terms of performance thanks to an FIA homologated carbon monocoque, sophisticated aerodynamics developed by Dallara, which generates a downforce of 2,100 kg at a speed of 370 km/h, and a limited weight of only 900 kg. The engine is a naturally aspirated V8, 4,500 cc displacement, developing 730 hp at 9,000 rpm, powered by synthetic fuels.
The design of the 777 hypercar comes from the pencil of Umberto Palermo, a designer who has a special bond with Monza, the city where the car was presented, having started his artistic studies here, before setting up Up Design in Turin. Sparco will be a partner in the 777 hypercar project for the identification of cutting-edge solutions in the field of driver and car safety. The hypercar will in fact be equipped with belts, seats and specific solutions derived from Formula 1 experience. Sparco will also supply the complete racing kit consisting of a suit, gloves and customised shoes.
