AN ICON. EVOLVED.
The Type 859 is a tribute to the gods of Group B, reimagined through a lens of modern precision. It captures the aggressive stance and short-wheelbase agility of the original Sport Quattro but executes it with materials and tolerances that were impossible in the 1980s.
Every panel is sculpted from carbon fiber. The iconic vents are functional. The proportions are muscular and unapologetic. We have preserved the soul of the rally stage but refined the body for the road. This is not a replica; it is a continuation of a philosophy that prioritized function, speed, and drama above all else.
BUILT TO BE DRIVEN
The Type 859 is not a museum piece to be dusted off for a concours d'elegance. It is a machine engineered for the mountain pass, the canyon road, and the track day.
Unfiltered Connection
Modern Usability
Visceral Sound
We believe in the sanctity of the manual shift. The Type 859 offers a tactile, mechanical connection that demands your attention and rewards your skill. Every gear change is an event.
While the emotion is analog, the reliability is modern. The Type 859 is a road-legal, daily-usable supercar. It is equipped with air conditioning, modern electronics, and seamless connectivity (Wireless CarPlay/Android Auto), ensuring that the only discomfort you feel is the G-force.
The soundtrack is not synthesized. It is the raw, mechanical symphony of a 5-cylinder engine breathing through a performance exhaust, unmuted and authentic.
ENGINEERED FOR THE ANALOG DRIVER
A +500HP DAZA 5-cylinder engine paired with a manual gearbox and mechanical all-wheel-drive, wrapped in a sub-1,200 kg carbon chassis.
Active Suspension
PRECISION CONTROL
To drive the Type 859 is to feel the road without being punished by it. We have partnered with world-class engineering specialists to develop a chassis that handles with telepathic precision.
The vehicle features a state-of-the-art active suspension system with adjustable ride height. This allows you to transform the car's character at the touch of a button.
Drive Modes
Lightweight Engineering
Tailor the dynamics to your environment. Select from Street for compliance, Sport for spirited driving, Track for maximum attack, or Rally to unlock the car's genetic memory on loose surfaces.
By utilizing extensive carbon fiber and lightweight components, we target a dry weight of 1,200-1,300 kg. This low mass ensures that every horsepower is felt and every corner is conquered.
