Automobili Mignatta is teasing its new supercar, the Rina Coupe.
\nIt will join the\u00a0Barchetta already in the lineup, featuring a”double-bubble” roof and a Kamm-style rear end.
\nThe car will have a naturally aspirated V8 engine producing 493 horsepower and a manual transmission.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 2026 Goodwood Festival of Speed hosts an important preview for Automobili Mignatta, the young Piedmont, Italy-based automaker specializing in handcrafted sports cars.<\/p>\n

The company chose the British event to reveal the first sketches of the upcoming Rina Coupe, due in 2027, and to present a new interpretation of the Rina Barchetta, featuring an original livery inspired by Italy\u2019s tradition of artisanal coachbuilding.<\/p>\n

The Coupe Expands The Rina Lineup<\/p>\n

The new Rina Coupe<\/a> is designed to join the Barchetta while retaining its underlying philosophy, but with a closed body style inspired by the Italian grand tourers of the 1960s. The sketches show a sleek profile, a “double-bubble” roof, and a Kamm-style rear end with twin round taillights, elements that reinterpret classic sports-car design in a modern way.<\/p>\n

The mechanical package remains faithful to the original concept, with a carbon-fiber monocoque, a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 producing around 493 horsepower, and a six-speed manual transaxle, prioritizing a fully analog driving experience.<\/p>\n

A Barchetta With An Artisanal Touch<\/p>\n

Alongside the Coupe sketches, Goodwood<\/a> also marks the debut of a new Rina Barchetta finished in a light color developed to highlight its shape and pay tribute to the Piedmontese “battilastra,” the craftsmen who once hand-shaped the bodywork of classic Italian sports cars.<\/p>\n

The sports car also introduces forged-carbon details, a new wheel design, and updated interior finishes, including a redesigned shifter gate and numerous machined-from-solid components. Also on display at the stand are several technical parts, such as the carbon-fiber driveshaft, a solution that helps reduce weight and improve the car\u2019s dynamic response.<\/p>\n

Motor1’s Take: A naturally aspirated V8 engine paired with a real manual transmission is what Italian sports cars should be, and we are happy\u00a0Automobili Mignatta is still keeping that tradition alive.\u00a0<\/p>\n
