A Dutch startup just showed a track-only single-seater that puts the driver on their stomach, like a superbike, in front of an 800-horsepower Judd V10. The first customer car is not due until 2030, and Sanrivatti has not set a price.
On Nov 13, 2026, a small team in Arnhem, the Netherlands, rolled out a full-scale show car that looks like a fighter jet and asks you to drive it like a motorcycle. The Sanrivatti One is a track-only, single-seat hypercar. You lie head-first under a canopy, arms stretched to a steering wheel, legs reaching back to pedals behind you. Behind that sits a naturally aspirated 5.5-liter Judd V10 targeted at 800 horsepower. Founder Santiago Sánchez Rivero wants the first customer car delivered in 2030. He has not named a price, or how many he will build.
That posture is the whole point. Sanrivatti calls it the Apex Position. Sánchez Rivero, who grew up in Uruguay and studied automotive engineering in the Netherlands, says he started the company because hypercars had become a contest of spec sheets.
I did not agree or like the way that the industry was going in the hypercar sector. It was going more towards spec sheets and numbers, and I feel that we forgot the essence of why do people drive?
Santiago Sánchez Rivero, founder and CEO, speaking to Motor1
In a normal mid-engine hypercar, you recline behind the front axle. In the One, you sit more centrally and farther forward, straddling a support made to measure for each buyer. CarBuzz reports that support is built around the hips, chest and neck, so a driver can hold the position lap after lap. The controls stay those of a car: a steering wheel out ahead, foot pedals behind, and paddles for the sequential gearbox, according to Top Gear and Motor1.
Sanrivatti's own virtual tests, published in an Oct 14, 2026 press release, are the case for the layout. At Silverstone's third corner, the company says the Apex Position showed 3.2 times more of the circuit than 10 benchmark hypercars and track cars at the same point. A separate CAD study gave a 28-degree vertical field of view, against 15.5 degrees for one benchmark car. Those are Sanrivatti's figures, from a simulator, not lap times from a finished car.
What exists today, besides the show car, is Prototype Zero. Sanrivatti describes it as a dynamic engineering mule for the posture, upper-body support, steering and rear-mounted pedals. Top Gear says that mule was built around a Porsche Boxster. The official photos show a black open-top car with "APEX POSITION" on the hood and a driver leaned forward over the front axle. Sánchez Rivero told Motor1 that nobody has experience driving a car like this, so buyers will get a driver program to learn how.
The hardware around the posture is more familiar, and that is a compliment. The naturally aspirated 5.5-liter V10 comes from Judd, the British engine shop that also supplies the V10 in McLaren's track-only Solus GT, as Top Gear notes. Sanrivatti's official targets, listed on its site, are as follows:
Every one of those figures is a target. Engineering, validation and testing are still under way. Motor1 rounded the top speed to 200 mph. The official projected maximum is 330 km/h, about 205 mph. Outlets reporting from the brief, including evo and AutoNext, also give a 112.2-inch (2,850 mm) wheelbase and a height of 47.2 inches (1,200 mm). The body, which Sanrivatti says takes its cues from a peregrine falcon in a dive and from a modern fighter jet, is mostly a one-piece canopy, a huge rear wing and open bodywork around the engine.
The closest car most enthusiasts already know is McLaren's Solus GT: another single-seat, track-only machine with a Judd V10 and a sequential gearbox. The Solus is already sold out. The One is still a show car and a mule, with years of work ahead.
When we started Sanrivatti, we didn't want to create another hypercar that simply followed the established formula with more power and more technology. We wanted to question something more fundamental: what it actually feels like to drive.

This is either the most interesting track car announced this year, or an extremely serious way to lie on your stomach at more than 200 mph. Maybe both. The idea is genuinely wild: move the driver, keep a screaming naturally aspirated V10, and teach people how to use it. The parts around that idea are the ones racing engineers already trust: Judd, Hewland, AP Racing and a carbon fiber tub.
What it does not have yet is a running One. The studio car is a show car. The thing that has actually been driven is a Boxster-based mule. The visibility numbers come from a simulator. There is no price, no build number, and no word on whether U.S. or Canadian buyers will even get a slot. A first delivery in 2030 means this team has years to prove that a driver arriving head-first can go quickly, and get home in one piece. Until a prototype with that Judd V10 turns a wheel on a real circuit, the One is a promise with a great shape. We want them to keep that promise.
A year after Jay Leno's first look, the NILU's 6.5-liter V12 has fired up, beaten its 1,070 hp target on the dyno and is headed to Germany for the first driving prototype. Nilu27 still hasn't shown the car driving or announced a price or delivery date.
The most talked-about new supercars of 2026 share something old-fashioned: a clutch pedal. Here's what's real and what's simulated, what they cost, how few will be built, and what the market says analog cars are worth.
Koenigsegg has handed over Jesko 125, the last of the 125 Jeskos it sold out in two weeks at Geneva in 2019. It's a one-off Jesko Absolut in champagne-gold Skumpa paint with a green carbon stripe, and two outlets report it went to tennis star Daniil Medvedev.
