Adamastor P003RL 

The name Adamastor is taken from Greek mythology that the Portuguese wrote about their own untamed natural force that sailors battled during their world travels in the 16th century. A name chosen with care and under careful consideration. It is a young car brand, the P003RL model will slowly start production on the outskirts of Porto, in the north of Portugal. Hand-built with the possibility of the highest degree of design personification. Adamastor is following in the footsteps of other lightweight, high-fun quotient track-focused cars, such as the Ariel Atom and the BAC Mono. The P003RL is built starting with an FIA-spec tube frame chassis. Atop that you have composite body panels all hiding a Ford-sourced power plant. It's a familiar recipe but certainly not an unwelcome one. In fact, the P003RL presents well with sharp styling and what appears to be a decent cabin space complete with suede finishings.Using either a 2.0-liter or 2.3-liter Ford engine, Adamastor sets the mill in the middle of the car. It's then paired with one of a number of gearbox options. Customers can choose between a Ford-supplied manual or automatic, or go in a different direction with a dog box using straight-cut gears. There's even the ability to swap in a sequential manual and paddle-shifted transmission.
