Творець Ford GT та F-150 Raptor створює власний позашляховий гіперкар

Supercar startups making big promises come and often go before they’ve delivered a single car, but Jamal Hameedi’s Hameedi Venturo is one we hope sticks around. Why? Because when the guy behind some of the defining performance cars and trucks of the last 20 years tells you he’s building an all-terrain hypercar, you know the result is going to be explosive.Hameedi spent almost three decades at Ford, the second half of which he spent helping create legends like the mid-engined GTs, the Shelby GT350, F-150 Raptor, Fiesta ST, Focus ST and Focus RS. He then jumped across the Atlantic to head up JLR’s SVO performance division, delivering machines like the Defender Octa, the road-going (and off-road-going) production version of Land Rover’s 2026 Dakar Rally weapon.Related: The Only Thing Ford’s 900 HP Raptor R Preys On Is Common SenseNow Hameedi has teamed up with luxury automotive expert Dr Andreas Baenziger for a new venture he says “will create an entirely new automotive segment,” and it sounds like his experience with the GT, Raptor and Octa is going to come in handy.Details are slimmer than a Lexus panel gap at this stage and the only image released features no cars, just a selection of environments including deserts and snowy mountains. The company’s official release says its first car is “an all-terrain hypercar that combines extreme on-road performance with radical go-anywhere capability and comfort.” “We’re creating something that simply hasn’t existed before,” Hameedi said.Sources close to the project told Carscoops it is backed by some “huge” automotive companies and that the finished vehicle will be a multi-million dollar machine built in tiny numbers. We understand that it’s not just a lifted supercar in the style of the Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato, but a car built from the ground up to provide hypercar go on the black stuff as well as serious capability in the dirt. We’re told to expect to hear more early in 2026.“This project embodies everything I believe about the future of luxury exploration,” says Baenziger. “The automotive world is evolving, but passion for driving experiences will never diminish.”Are you hoping to see a Ferrari Purosangue-style crossover with even more trail performance like our mockup Ford GT SUV below, or something wilder like Marc Philip Gemballa’s Marsien?
