In the world of hypercars, moments that transcend performance and
engineering are rare—moments when the boundaries between
technology and art blur, and a vehicle becomes a living testament
to vision, passion, and innovation. The Arrera TSX is one such
creation. It is not simply a car; it is a symbol of what the
future holds for those bold enough to dream.
Born from the legacy of an automotive titan and shaped by the
hands of a visionary, the TSX stands as the first Albanian
hypercar. It is an achievement that not only honors the past but
also sets a new course for the future of high-performance
vehicles. This machine, meticulously crafted from the legendary
Nicola Materazzi's final chassis design, carries a weight of
heritage, ambition, and technical brilliance that few hypercars
can match.
For any true car aficionado, the name Nicola Materazzi conjures images of brilliance. Known for his work on iconic vehicles such as the Ferrari F40, Materazzi's genius in chassis engineering became the stuff of legend. Before his passing, Materazzi laid down the blueprint for what would be his final testament to automotive excellence—a chassis that would surpass even his own high standards. He entrusted this vision to his engineering successor, Enrico Cerfeda, who in turn sought a partner worthy of such a heritage.
In Qendrim Thaqi, the founder of Arrera Automobili, Massimiliano Silverstri & Enrico Cerfeda found the answer. The marriage between Materazzi's visionary chassis and Thaqi's revolutionary TSX concept was not just a collaboration; it was a union of two eras, where the old world of automotive mastery meets the cutting edge of Excellence hypercar design.
What makes a hypercar truly breathtaking? Is it the numbers? The
speed? The roar of the engine as it bursts into life? For the TSX,
it's all of these and more.
The TSX, with its dry weight of approximately 1250 kg, is a marvel
of lightweight engineering. Powered by a 6.2 Supercharged V8
Italian engine, tuned in collaboration with the legendary Romeo
Ferraris, it generates an NA 950 Wheel horsepower. It is a
car designed for purists—a mechanical symphony with a manual CIMA
transmission that speaks directly to the driver's soul. For those
craving precision and speed, an optional sequential transmission
will also be available, offering a track experience like no other.
Torque value equal to 850 nm at 6400 rpm Maximum speed estimated
with ratios
In the table estimated at 375 km/h, the value did not take into
account the aerodynamic resistance.
With its 4.6-meter length, 2.7-meter wheelbase, 1,14- meter high and a width of 2.30 meters (excluding mirrors), the TSX commands an undeniable presence. This isn't just a car to drive; it's a car to experience—a hypercar that redefines the relationship between man and machine.
The entire frame was subjected to an F.E.M. simulation cycle, which detected a torsional rigidity of over 30,000 Nm/degree in the barchetta version and 41,000 Nm/degree, highlighting a wide distribution of forces across all the tubulars of the structure.

Endothermic unit version
Combination of series engines with the possibility of applying an
assistance code and services at the brand's authorized network for
spare parts maintenance and upgrades for internal combustion units
only.
Coupled with manual gearbox or double clutch model Cima 6
ratios+reverse.
Front Suspension Double independent arms made from CNC-machined light alloy, providing greater rigidity and lightness while minimizing unsprung masses for excellent operational performance. Light alloy hub carrier machined from solid with rear tie rod for toe adjustment, harmonic steel anti-roll bar with upper attachment.
Front Suspension Layout, layout with double independent
arms made by CNC machining in light alloy with steel stub axle.
Anti-roll bar with low attachment via linkages on the lower arm.
All geometries
Suspensions are adjustable via calibrated shims on the frame
attachments.
Comfort and Handling to improve driving comfort, power
flex elements have been inserted
sized to absorb uneven terrain while maintaining the performance
of the suspension system itself.
Roll Center Study
Particular attention was paid to the study of the roll centers of the suspension schemes, in particular it was accurate that the hypothetical axes passing between the roll centers obtained from the positioning of the suspensions are below the hypothetical center line axis obtained from the center of gravity car and close to the ground line. This gives greater road holding when traveling at high speeds, both in tight and long bends. Furthermore, it avoids the accentuated "pitching" of the car at start-off, providing maximum grip at start-off and less pitching during braking without breaking down the entire set-up of the car.
As chassis 001 undergoes meticulous production at Saldature ST, the collaboration between these titans of industry speaks volumes about the level of precision and commitment embedded into every inch of the TSX. Every element of the car—from the raw materials to the final touches—is a testament to Thaqi's uncompromising pursuit of perfection.
But the TSX doesn't just embody power and design—it's also a marvel of advanced engineering, thanks to Navato Technologies. This partnership brings an extraordinary level of innovation to the TSX, setting a new standard in hypercar performance through Surface Structuring technology.
By reordering the atoms on the surface of key components, Navato Technologies has created a groundbreaking process that neither adds nor removes material. This results in surfaces that drastically reduce friction, enhancing the efficiency of moving parts. Whether in the combustion engine or electric motors, friction-related energy loss is minimized, and the need for lubrication is significantly reduced. The outcome? Increased performance, reduced heat generation, and a longer lifespan for crucial parts of the TSX.
This cutting-edge technology not only boosts the vehicle's overall efficiency but also pushes the TSX to new heights of endurance and innovation—bringing a futuristic edge to a hypercar already rooted in legendary engineering.
The Arrera TSX, enhanced by Navato Technologies, is more than a hypercar—it's the future of automotive excellence. Prepare to witness the next chapter in automotive history. The future begins now.
