The Arrinera Hussarya is a sports car project made by Polish automotive manufacturer Arrinera Automotive. It was touted by Arrinera as the first supercar designed and engineered in Poland.[5] It was named after Poland's Hussar cavalry.[6][7]
In 2021, it was announced that according to the latest quarterly report(dated 11.08.21), due to funding problems, the project will not be further developed.

Prototype[edit]
The prototype of Arrinera premiered on 9 June 2011 to shareholders and investors. Some journalists gave the supercar the name "Venocara", although Arrinera Automotive has never officially used that name.[8] It featured scissor doors for both the concept car and the production car.[9]
In August 2012 Arrinera Automotive officially announced the name Hussarya for its new model. The name is derived from Poland's Hussar cavalry of the 16th century.[10]
Specifications[edit]
The Arrinera Hussarya 33 was to be tested with a mid-mounted General Motors-sourced supercharged 6.2-litre V8 producing 800 PS (588 kW; 789 bhp). This engine, based on GM's LS3 engine, drives the rear wheels.[11][12][13]

Special editions[edit]
On 18 July 2012, it was announced that Arrinera would produce 33 units of a special "Series 33" version of the Hussarya, with exclusive designs on the exterior and the interior.[14] Regular production of this and other Hussarya models appears not to have commenced.
Controversy[edit]
In 2012 Polish radio and online journalist Jacek Balkan asserted that the vehicle was not an original supercar but a low-cost replica of a Lamborghini using parts from an Opel Corsa and an Audi A6.[15][16] Arrinera sued Balkan for slander, but the journalist was acquitted.[17]
Motorsport[edit]
In 2017 the Hussarya was driven in qualifying for the Britcar series race at Donington Park by a half-Polish professional driver, Jonny MacGregor as an invitation entry. The car qualified fourth, but an engine blow-up meant it was unable to participate in the rest of the race weekend.
