At the beginning of June, Mazzanti Automobili dropped the veils off the new Evantra Millecavalli, and now the Italians have released the first footage of the hypercar.

Set against a dark background and covered in a lot of smoke, this is the first example out of just 25 that the automaker will produce, described by the company’s founder, Luca Mazzanti, as “an emotional experience that interested all the people that come across this process, the client at first.

The automaker continues to keep the pricing details a secret for now, but since the regular Evantra can be had from £665,000 ($885,200), it’s safe to say that the Millecavalli will be significantly more expensive. Tipping the scales at 1,300 kg (2,866 lbs), the most powerful street-legal vehicle to come out of the European country is powered by a 7.2-liter bi-turbo V8 engine, which has been massaged to deliver 1,000 HP and 1,200 Nm (885 lb-ft) of torque.

Channeled to the rear axle through a 6-speed sequential gearbox, the output allows the hypercar to cover the 0 to 60 mph (96 km/h) sprint in just 2.7 seconds and to go all the way up to an impressive top speed of 250 mph (402 km/h). The carbon-ceramic brakes, which have been specifically developed for Mazzanti Automobili, will completely stop the Millecavalli from 186 mph (300 km/h) in 7 seconds.
