This is the new Almas concept, an exotic supercar
study by Mole Costruzione Artigianale, the company that created that beautiful
coachbuilt Alfa Romeo 4C. Mole Automobile’s Almas is the second joint project between Umberto
Palermo Design and Paolo Scudieri, president of Italy’s Adler Group. Adler also
happens to be Alfa Romeo’s supplier of the 4C carbon tub chassis.
The new design study will make its world premiere at
the Geneva Motor Show, featuring a very striking carbon bodywork finished in
red with a flat black roof over a carbon chassis created by Adler. Measuring 4730 mm long, 1980 mm
wide and 1218 mm high, the new mid-engine Mole Almas was designed to adopt a
powertrain that runs on hydrogen but the company plans to offer it with a
classic petrol engine too, without revealing any further details. Mole
Automobile will release more performance specs on a later date.
The rear end of the new Mole Almas is dominated by
clean lines, a set of quad exhaust pipes and a diffuser while the aggressive
front is dominated by three large air intakes and the company’s logo, which
features the names of its creators. The sides are more dramatic, with strong
lines giving a unique visual character to the Almas.
Mole Automobile promises that the Almas will come
with a refined interior dressed in innovative materials and the latest
telematics, offering comfort and style. The company plans to throw the
Almas into a limited production run, with details to follow.
