Project 1221

Project 1221 is an Italian automobile company. The company began in 2001, originally sub rosa, to develop a new sports car called the MF1 which was to be powered by a Williams zero-emissions gas turbine engine.[1] Two MF1 models were proposed, a two-seat rear-wheel drive version and a three-seat all-wheel drive version with optional armor plating. Both models had a proposed power-to-weight ratio of at least 1,000 hp/ton and a proposed top speed of 270 miles per hour (430 km/h).[2] A lightweight grand tourer model called the "Alleopous" was also announced.[3] It is unclear whether any of these projects progressed beyond the initial design phase. Project 1221 includes ex-Lamborghini and Ferrari engineer Mauro Forghieri and ex-Pininfarina designer Emanuele Nicosia with Andreas Andrianos as its CEO.[4] As of April 2020, the Project 1221 website is no longer active, with the last archived update on the company's activities dated to 18 October 2008.[5]
