Automobili Mignatta is a small Italian coachbuilder founded in 2024 in Valfenera d’Asti, Piedmont, and the Rina is its first car. It is a two-seat sports car with a 1960s Italian silhouette, built around a proprietary carbon-fiber monocoque - reinforced with Kevlar and reported to weigh about 71 kg (157 lb) on its own, with a torsional stiffness of 101,000 Nm per degree. Front and rear double-wishbone suspension with adjustable coilovers is standard, and Mignatta quotes a 50:50 front-rear weight distribution at a target curb weight around one tonne (2,205 lb).
Power comes from a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 sourced from Ford and retuned by Italtecnica Engineering to roughly 500 hp, driving the rear wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox, a rear transaxle, and a limited-slip differential. There is no hybrid assistance and no forced induction - a deliberate choice in a market where most rivals in this price bracket have moved to turbocharging or electrification.
The interior carries that same analog approach through to the cabin: no touchscreens or digital displays, with forged carbon fiber, stainless steel, and billet-machined aluminum used throughout. Each car is hand-built to order, with production capped at around 30 units a year.
The Rina Barchetta, an open-top roadster, was the first version to reach customers, debuting in 2025 with pricing from $290,000. A Coupe variant followed, adding a fixed double-bubble roof and a Kamm tail with a ducktail spoiler; it was previewed through sketches at the 2026 Goodwood Festival of Speed, with the first real-world example due in 2027.
