Anthony Jannarelly’s Art Machines has unveiled its latest creation, the Ælla-60. This retro-inspired speedster is built on the foundation of a turn-of-the-millennium Ferrari and comes exclusively with a manual transmission.
For those familiar with the French designer’s portfolio—including the Jannarelly Design-1 and the Project V concept he developed for Caterham—the Ælla-60’s flowing curves are a natural evolution of his aesthetic. According to the marque’s website, Jannarelly aimed to craft the “perfect marriage between a vintage racing car and a ’60s GT,” and from a design standpoint, he appears to have succeeded.
The Ælla-60’s design, much like Jannarelly’s previous creations—the Design-1 and Project V—features flowing lines, sculpted fenders, and prominent air intakes. It’s clear that his inspirations lean more toward classics like the Ferrari 250 GTO and Lamborghini Miura rather than the sharper-edged supercars that followed. The interior is just as much of a nostalgic nod to the past, with analog gauges and a welcome absence of an oversized touchscreen infotainment system. However, modern touches haven’t been entirely abandoned, as the cabin includes carbon-fiber bucket seats, climate control, and smartphone connectivity.
Art Machines has not officially disclosed which car underpins the Ælla-60, but multiple sources have identified it as a Ferrari 360, the mid-engine two-seater produced between 1999 and 2004. Like its Prancing Horse predecessor, the reimagined sports car is powered by a naturally aspirated 3.6-liter V-8. Jannarelly’s team claims it produces 470 horsepower, but what will truly excite driving purists is its six-speed manual transmission—a perfect match for those who live for the satisfaction of a well-executed downshift.
With its potent V-8 and a curb weight of under 2,500 pounds—thanks in part to extensive use of lightweight materials like carbon fiber—the Ælla-60 rockets from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.5 seconds. While Art Machines hasn’t disclosed its top speed, it wouldn’t be surprising if it surpasses the original Ferrari 360, which maxed out at 183 mph.
Production will be strictly limited to just 60 units, making the Ælla-60 an exclusive offering. If it’s caught your eye, you may want to act fast. Pricing starts at €865,000—just shy of $900,000 at current exchange rates.
