777 HYPERCAR, BORN IN MONZA PRESENTS THE LOUNGE AND THE FIRST PROTOTYPE AT THE AUTODROME A RESEARCH CENTRE AND AN EXPERIMENTAL VERSION WILL BE CREATED

It will be the occasion to inaugurate the 777 Motors Lounge, a multimedia open space that can be visited by appointment and which is located at the Autodromo Nazionale di Monza, adjacent to the monument celebrating the racing driver Juan Manuel Fangio.

July 7 will be the date on which the definitive version of the first 777 hypercar prototype, a permanent presence in its headquarters at the Temple of Speed, will be presented to the public, for the delight of enthusiasts and its regular visitors who will be able to see it up close and find out about its evolution.

Construction of 7 777 hypercars

777 hypercars will be produced in a limited edition of 7 units for track use only, combining the best of automotive excellence: Dallara, who is handling the engineering, aerodynamics and production aspects, Gibson Technology, supplier of the naturally aspirated V8 engine, and Sparco, who is creating the clothing line. The lines of the 777 hypercar were born from the pencil of Umberto Palermo Design.

The 777 hypercar stands at the very top in terms of performance thanks to an FIA homologated carbon monocoque, sophisticated aerodynamics developed by Dallara, which generate a downforce of 2,100 kg at a speed of 370 km/h, a limited weight of only 900 kg, and a lateral acceleration of 3.5 to 4 g. The estimated lap time on the Autodromo Nazionale di Monza’s Formula 1 circuit is 1m33s. The engine is a 4,500 cc naturally aspirated V8 that develops 730 hp at 9,000 rpm, powered by synthetic fuels that guarantee a 65% reduction in CO² emissions.

The 777 hypercar owners will be offered a training session to make the most of the car’s performance. Each customer will have the opportunity to train behind the wheel of the special Dallara simulators in Varano de’ Melegari and Indianapolis, and to continue training from home, will receive a professional simulator equipped with the same seat as the 777 hypercar, which can be connected remotely, for the exchange of data and settings.

777 hypercar Unit-000, an experimental laboratory of new technologies

In 2025, 7 units of 777 hypercar will be produced for customers, and at the same time 777 Motors will build 777 hypercar Unit-000, the experimental version which will be a dynamic laboratory on four wheels equipped with the most advanced autonomous driving technologies, AI drivers, virtual coaching.

777 hypercar Unit-000 will be built in partnership with PoliMOVE, Ascari and Indy Autonomous Challenge.

PoliMOVE is the autonomous driving team of the Politecnico di Milano, already winner of the Indy Autonomous Challenge on the oval circuits of Las Vegas and Dallas, and recently also in Monza, during MIMO 2023, in the first Autonomous Racing race in Europe.

Ascari (acronym that recalls the last Italian Formula One champion 50 years ago, and which stands for Autonomous Car Intelligence) is the spin-off of the Milan Polytechnic which develops technology in the field of driving assistance, coaching and safety systems for high-performance cars used on the track (technology derived from Artificial Intelligence for autonomous driving).

Indy Autonomous Challenge is the first single-seater competition (suitably modified Dallara IL-15 cars) driven by Artificial Intelligence drivers developed by universities and research centres around the world.

To create 777 hypercar Unit-000, a new international research centre will be built which will welcome and make use of engineering centres and universities from all over the world, as well as technologically advanced companies, for a fruitful open-source collaboration.

777 hypercar is a project whose added value is the territory in which it was born and developed, from Monza to all of Lombardy, where it has been able to draw on the values of passion for the automotive industry, innovation, research and entrepreneurial expertise. A relationship of mutual progress that will be sanctioned with the “Born in Monza” communication campaign with billboards and advertisements dedicated to 777 hypercar.

The new images of the definitive 777 hypercar prototype will be released on the website www.777hypercar.com at the same time as the presentation on Friday 7 July,

DECLARATIONS FROM 777 HYPERCAR PROJECT INSTITUTIONS

Paolo Pilotto, Mayor of Monza: “The ‘born in Monza’ research centre is an excellent news and the confirmation of an entrepreneurial and technological vitality typical of Brianza. Speed, sustainability and innovation are the cornerstones of this challenging project: a laboratory of ideas capable of attracting intelligences, not just artificial ones, capable of translating what until a few years ago seemed like a futuristic fantasy into a solid and structured project”.

Andrea Pontremoli, CEO of Dallara: “We are really happy to support a friend, as well as Dallara Stradale’s first customer, with our skills in Engineering and Aerodynamics, in such an audacious and challenging project. We will make available the experience Dallara has gained in motorsport over the years, which extends to the fields of engineering, from technical development to wind tunnel tests, from simulations to prototyping with the use of composite materials. One of our main tools, the Professional Driving Simulator, will be offered to future owners for a dedicated technical and physical preparation program, so as to be ready to withstand the incredible lateral acceleration of the car”.

Sergio Savaresi, Professor at the Milan Polytechnic and PoliMOVE Team Principal: “777 hypercar represents an extraordinary technological platform on which to develop not only the best chassis, aerodynamic and engine technologies, but also the most advanced applications of Artificial Intelligence systems to improve the safety and driving experience of very high-performance cars on the track”.

Paul Mitchell, Chairman and President of Indy Autonomous Challenge: “Indy Autonomous Challenge is excited to offer our expertise in high performance autonomous systems engineering and integration to the innovative 777 hypercar project. We know from our fleet of self-driving formula race cars that autonomous systems can enhance safety and performance at speed greater than 300 kph”.

Geronimo La Russa, President of ACI Milan: “Expectations, interest and even enthusiasm are growing towards self-driving cars: just think of the attention paid to the car by the Politecnico di Milano during the recent Mille Miglia along the entire route. As ACI Milano we are personally following this experimentation and, more generally, the evolution of these vehicles, well aware that their technological evolution must be accompanied by adequate infrastructures and regulations that solve all the problems relating, for example, to accountability and privacy. But, whether we like it or not, the future mobility of people and goods cannot ignore this perspective. I remind you that Automobile Club Italia is an active part in the European project PAsCAL (Public Acceptance of Connected and Autonomous vehicLes) which aims to raise awareness and train European motorists on the basis of autonomous driving. On the occasion of MIMO, for the first time in the world, the drivers of racecars competing in the Indy Autonomous Challenge received the sports license issued by the Automobile Club Milano and ACI. Therefore, initiatives of this kind are welcome, hosted in our area in an iconic facility such as that of the Autodromo Nazionale Monza, capable of looking to the future after having written the history of motor racing in its 101 years”.

Andrea Levy, CEO & Founder 777 hypercar: “The satisfaction in presenting a project that is the result of a collaboration between various institutions and partners, all fundamental for its birth and development, is immense. Thanks to the technical partners Dallara, Sparco, Gibson, Stilo and the partnership with the Politecnico di Milano, Ascari and the Indy Autonomous Challenge, we will work so that 777 hypercars will become a benchmark for research on autonomous driving and AI drivers, and thanks to institutions such as the Region of Lombardy, the Municipality of Monza, ACI and the Autodromo Nazionale di Monza this project will be able to grow and make use of the minds of the brightest students from universities around the world, becoming a research centre of international importance. A project with an Italian DNA that will be a reference point for the best technologies in the world”.
