Automobili Mignatta doesn’t shout. They tease.
At the 2026 Goodwill Festival of Speed—wait, the Goodwood Festival of Speed—they’re showing sketches for a car called the Rina Coupe due in 2027.
It sits alongside their existing Rina Barchetta.
It will have a naturally aspirated engine producing 493 horses. Manual. Six speeds.
No hybrid whining here. No paddle shifters clicking away at you like an accountant balancing books. This is Piedmont-based handcrafting at its most stubborn.
Closed Up But Classic
The Rina Coupe takes that same carbon-fiber monocoque chassis but dresses it up in 1960s Grand Tourer clothes. Think sleek profile. That iconic double-bubble roof for headroom style. And a Kamm-style rear that tucks things in efficiently with twin round taillights.
It looks modern. It drives old school.
The engine? A 5.0-liter Naturally Aspirated V8.
Manual transaxle. Pure analog input. The makers prioritize feeling the car over just being told it’s fast by a screen.
A Tribute to Battilastra
While the Coupe gets the attention, the Barchetta gets a glow-up. A new livery debuted at Goodwood pays homage to battilastra —those artisan craftsmen in Piedmont who used to pound metal sheets by hand.
The finish is light. Highlighting the curves.
Forged carbon details add contrast. New wheels. Inside the cockpit? Machined parts. Even the shifter gate was rethought. They even display the carbon driveshaft publicly—it sheds weight sharpens the dynamic response.
Why go digital when metal tells the story better?
Mignatta is small. Italian. Insistent. They are keeping a tradition alive that the big factories have already buried under torque specs and battery cells.
It’s just a sketch now. Or a rendered livery.
But the intent is loud enough.
