Ever since the announcement of GTO Engineering’s Project Moderna, we’ve been eagerly waiting for an update and as it turns out, we just got one. The UK-based Ferrari specialist and engineering firm has confirmed that the project is now under development, following the very positive feedback from the original announcement. Think of the Project Moderna as a modern take to the legendary Ferrari 250 GTO and you wouldn’t be far from the truth.
Project Moderna is going to be powered by
a naturally aspirated quad-cam V12 engine, which is currently in the final
stages of development, with the car based on a traditional tubular chassis
accompanied by lightweight high-strength aluminum subframes. The engine will be
paired to a manual transmission, with GTO Engineering targeting a sub-1,000 kg
weight figure.
GTO Engineering is also currently working
on the outer body of Project Moderna, finalizing the surfaces before moving to
the next stage, modeling. GTO Engineering has now formally opened its order
books for Project Moderna and invites interested parties to contact them for
what is going to be one of the most exciting cars out there.
