The name Arrinera Hussarya comes from a combination of three words: arinzea (“streamline” in Basque), vero (“truly” in Italian) and Hussarya (the historial Polish winged cavalry, an icon of invincibility). According to Pekala, the Arrinera Hussarya GT is “a racing car of exceptional design, that will kindle strong emotions of all those passionate about fast and beautiful vehicles.”

Arrinera Hussarya GT has been designed to achieve optimal aerodynamics, for top results on racing tracks. Both the car’s body and aerodynamic parts were perfected in co-operation with Warsaw’s Technical University, under the supervision of Professor Janusz Piechna. His team was able to develop innovative technological solutions that allow for much better down-pressure to the track, with minimal loss on speed and acceleration.

The car’s aerodynamics is biased toward track racing featuring a low positioned splitter diffuser and a flat floor. Small canards (dive planes) located on the sides of front section of body increase frontdown-force and create diagonal air vortexes which, together with front “Air curtains”, minimize the influence of rotating front wheels on air flow. Arrinera Hussarya GT’s aerodynamics are further enhanced by a long diffuser located under the cars body and a back wing that generates down-force and intensifies the efficiency of the diffuser. Another striking part of the Arrinera Hussarya GT is roof scoop – a vital part of the engine intake system.
