Step aside, usual suspects of the Italian supercar world. There’s a new crimson beast prowling the streets, and while your first instinct might scream “Ferrari!”, you’re in for a sartorial shock: the Furia Rossa V12 isn’t wearing the Prancing Horse. Welcome to FR12, the brainchild of Angelelli Automobili, a young Italian marque with serious ambitions and, as you’ll see, a certain fondness for Maranello’s finest inspirations.

The Furia Rossa V12—codenamed FR12—has all the visual drama you’d expect from a supercar that costs more than a penthouse: 1.6 million euros, to be precise. That’s the sort of price tag you’d usually see reserved for the rarest hypercars produced in Maranello. But Angelelli Automobili, founded in 2017, clearly isn’t shy about joining the Olympians of Italian automotive excess, blending youthful audacity with a hearty respect for mechanical excellence (at least on paper, for now).
Look at the FR12 and try not to get déjà vu. The designers have drawn deeply from the latest Ferraris: sinuous, muscular lines typical of mid-engined supercars. The rear? Turn around and there’s a near-mirror image of the SF90—one could be forgiven for blinking twice. Even the logo comes in classic black-on-yellow. Remind you of another Italian thoroughbred?
Engineering: Tech from the Future (and a Wink to the Past)
Let’s cut to the titanium-and-aluminum skeleton, the heart of the project: this chassis is a technological showcase, created using advanced 3D printing techniques. Angelelli’s proprietary Alien Mesh Design tech pairs generative design algorithms with artificial intelligence, weaving a frame that’s both ultra-light and rigid enough to impress any materials scientist. Just in case you thought the FR12 was all style and no science, rest assured: there’s serious wizardry under the skin.
- 3D-printed titanium and aluminum chassis
- Alien Mesh Design technology
- Generative algorithms and AI for optimal rigidity and low weight
Beneath the (very racy) hood sits a 6.2-liter V12 engine, good for a mighty 1,000 horsepower. It’s mated to an aluminum platform and cloaked in a body featuring twelve—count ’em, twelve—moving aerodynamic surfaces. Top that with the so-called 360 Predictive technology: this system gives the car real-time awareness of driving conditions and fine-tunes everything from suspension and brakes to chassis response and aerodynamic load. Your average Sunday run to the market, this is not.
That Interior: Maranello in Everything but Name
Once inside, the homage to Ferrari continues at full throttle. Every feature is angled toward the driver, with “technological distractions” pared down to essentials. The digital dashboard dominates, while the center console and tunnel are peppered with physical switches—just to make life easier when you’re blasting down your favorite twisty road (or, more realistically, stuck in traffic, revving for Instagram).
- Driver-centric layout, just like classic Italian sports machines
- Minimalist approach to embedded technology
- Large digital dash, lots of tactile controls for driving functions
Glance at the steering wheel: yes, even the iconic manettino is present. That’s the little switch synonymous with all things Ferrari. Original? Perhaps not. But “Made in Italy” pride is on full display, though one can’t help but crave a little more creative risk-taking or individuality from a brand so fresh on the scene.
Conclusion: The Red Fury—Original or Imitation?
The Furia Rossa V12 roars onto the stage with ambition, technology, and undeniable Italian flair. For a company barely past its first birthday candle, Angelelli Automobili has delivered a statement car—a machine promising both technical wonders and performance to match its price tag. Yet, behind every curve and every dial, the specter of Ferrari is ever-present.
So, should you cheer for the newcomer or demand more unique expression? The answer probably lies somewhere between admiration and a sly nudge for greater originality. For now, the Furia Rossa V12 is a striking homage and technological showcase—one that will make many heads turn, even if a few necks crane back toward Maranello in curiosity.
