Meet the ELISIR: An ultra-luxurious 3000+HP IC+EV Italian missile packed with disruptive technologies

Campogalliano, Modena May 21, 2026 (EMWNews.com) – In a world dominated by legacy marques, a young and relatively unknown boutique manufacturer and coachbuilder of One-Off ultra-luxury Berlinas and Hypercars of Next Generation is rapidly becoming the name whispered among elite collectors. Automobili Rodrigues has just launched the ELISIR, a mind-boggling 3000+ horsepower IC+EV that is redefining what high-performance, ultra-luxury, and usability mean at the very top of the automotive world.

This is not another numbers-driven hypercar chasing records–it is something far more disruptive that is keeping legacy hypercar manufacturers awake at night because its a technological and artistically finished masterpiece that Redefines Automotive Art and Engineering and that feels and drives unlike anything else we have seen or experienced before.

At its core, the ELISIR is designed to feel effortless, ultra-luxurious and yet devastatingly powerful. This is indeed a car on a class all by itself which Automobili Rodrigues calls the Ultra-Luxury Hyper GT. Unlike traditional hypercars that sacrifice comfort and luxury for performance, the ELISIR delivers both –  and without compromise. It is engineered to be driven anywhere: city streets, long-distance touring, or racetrack environments–without concerns about ground clearance, harsh ride quality, or usability limitations.

The ELISIR or Elixir in English, defines something that refreshes and revives, that brings joy or energy! …and that’s exactly what this revolutionary hypercar is all about!

ELISIR breaks all the rules as a car, so technologically advanced and with so many mind-boggling disruptive technologies that it will be years before we see anything else like it on the roads.

Let’s start with its unprecedented and innovative IC+EV powertrain configuration with two choices of monster 9 Litre Internal Combustion engines that reign alone in the upper echelons of power. – Choose between the symphony of the new naturally aspirated Hyper XII – V12 of 1000+HP @ 7000RPM or the orchestra of the one-of-a-kind ultra-compact 18 opposed-piston engine, called the Triangolare 18 – a supercharged and turbocharged sparkless and valveless two-stroke power gem delivering an astonishing 2,650Nm of torque at just 2100RPM. The best part is that both engine options can be paired with either a traditional 6-speed gated manual for the purists or even a clutchless 6-speed gated manual for those who favor immediate gear changes and comfort over pressing the clutch pedal. But the real game changer here is the 4X 500+HP high-performance electric motors that independently drive each wheel and the Magic Ride intelligent real-time body control system with 4-wheel torque-vectoring steering that reduces reliance on steering angle. Together these intelligent systems allow this car to not only to outperform all others, but also do crazy things that no other hypercar on the market can do, like: 360-degree tank-turning maneuvers on its own length, jump over potholes and small obstacles on the road at high speeds, shake off snow, autonomous self-parking with your mobile phone and much more.

The world’s first IC+EV hybrid hypercar that you can actually drive in three separate power modes with a grand touring driving range of up to 520 Miles (840Km) by driving in separate modes:
1. 4 Wheel Drive EV only mode with 80kWh LFP blade type battery for up to 260+ miles (420+ km) range and 2000+HP.
2. Rear Wheel Drive only mode, powered exclusively by the 1000+HP Internal Combustion V12 or Triangolare 18 engine with a choice between a 6-speed gated manual or a clutchless 6- speed gated manual. Driving range 260+ miles (420+ Km)
3. EV+IC 3000+HP mode combining the power of the 4 wheel drive EV motors with the power of the rear wheel drive IC engine of choice for a massive 3000+HP.

Step into the future! The integrated electro-hydraulic Magic Ride is a Next-Gen active suspension system combined with an intelligent body control that features: 3 LiDAR sensors, 11 cameras, 5 millimeter-precision wave radars, and 11 ultrasonic sensors. These sensors enable 360-degree environmental monitoring, real-time suspension adjustments, and advanced features. It reads the road ahead and automatically reacts in milliseconds providing a high-tech driving experience and level of comfort like no other!…No more worries about ground clearance, no body roll or swaying on sharp turns, feel nothing when going over road bumps and no nose lift when accelerating full throttle from a start or nose diving when braking hard. ELISIR is a car not only engineered for warp speeds and an ultra-luxurious riding comfort, but also for utmost safety – It packs six sophisticated technology modules: powertrain system, chassis system, battery technology, advanced body technology, driving assistance, and smart cockpit that make millisecond-level adjustment of torque and direction at each wheel, keeping it stable and in total control at all times, with features like collision avoidance and three wheeling in case of a high-speed tire puncture or blowout, which allows the car to travel safely and steer on only three wheels.

A car where mechanical excess meets artisanal obsession. Penned by the company’s Chief Designer and co-founder Christopher Alexander Rodrigues (C.A.R.), the elegant body design is highly detailed with modern chrome, aluminum and exposed carbon design accents and handcrafted to perfection in traditionally hand-beaten sculpted aluminum coachbuilt body by Modenese artisans. All Automobili Rodrigues exterior and interior emblems are hand-crafted jewels from natural Titanium Quartz Crystals ornated with a 24 Karat gold script, an Italian flag cloisonné and diamond dust. The ultra-luxurious interior is pure Italian haute-couture, finished with all sorts of rare exotic materials, from carefully selected exclusive Italian leather hides with personalized custom patterns, hand-carved wood panels and aluminum panels designed and signed by famous artists – The 14-way sport leather power seats are equipped with heating, ventilation and massage comfort features. Every car comes with a dedication dash plaque with the owner’s name.

The ultra-stiff Super Carbon cockpit is built using next-gen aerospace-grade T700 carbon-fiber with a torsional stiffness exceeding 50,000 Nm/deg and mounted on an 3D printed Laser-melted aluminum alloy chassis and battery frame increasing the torsional stiffness by more than 200% compared to traditional solid equivalents of the same weight.

The ELISIR’s flowing form with curved fins draws inspiration from the legendary aerodynamic studies of Alfa Romeo BAT cars (Berlinetta Aerodinamica Tecnica) by Franco Scaglione, who also designed the 1967 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale–widely regarded as one of the most beautiful cars ever made.

Instead of the usual aggressive wings and exaggerated aero elements commonly found on hypercars, the ELISIR relies on a Curvaceous bodywork with fully Integrated aerodynamic flow channels and a sculpted rear fin design. It utilizes an automatic active 4 position adjustable rear spoiler and an adaptive underbody diffuser, made of carbon-fiber elements, contributing to an engineered estimated top speed of over 320MPH running on 20-inch chromed forged aluminum wheels and specialized 325/35 ZR20 high-performance tires.

ELISIR is fitted with extreme-performance brakes designed to manage its 3000+HP with exclusive six-pistons Titanium-alloy calipers and ventilated carbon-ceramic rotors for increased rigidity and improved heat management.

The ELISIR is not a concept or a prototype! It is a fully engineered and tested machine that is ready to be ordered and built to a owner’s very own specifications by the hands of legendary Modenese master craftsmen in a artisanal process that takes an average of 18 months and at a cost starting at 14 Million for the naturally aspirated Hyper XII- V12 version and 16 million for the world’s only Triangolare 18 opposed-piston 9 litre engine.

The ELISIR is a total experience and not merely a purchase, its the ultimate prize in hypercar exclusivity and prestige–it is an acquisition of a blue-chip automotive asset, and as such Automobili Rodrigues is so confident and proud of the extreme quality of their cars that is the first and only bespoke manufacturer to provide the original first owners with a limited Lifetime Warranty for as long as they own their car. Every ELISIR also comes with a Free Global Lifetime Maintenance Service included so you don’t have to worry about anything other than just driving it and enjoying it to the fullest! That means, no more trips to the dealer either, the personalized maintenance service comes to your door and in most times performed right on location by highly trained factory personnel! Say goodbye to dealer rip-offs and 30K dollar oil changes. And, if that is not enough, if in a few years down the road you decide to move up into a new bespoke model tailor made to your own specs, Automobili Rodrigues will gladly take your car back at the full original price you paid and charge you only for the difference for the new upgraded model.
