GTO Engineering Previews Interior Of The Squalo, Its Ferrari 250 GTO-Inspired Sports Car

GTO Engineering has released a handful of new sketches previewing the interior of its new Squalo sports car that’s inspired by the iconic Ferrari 250 GTO.

The British company first previewed the Squalo back in April through a series of detailed renderings but this is our first time seeing the fittingly retro interior.

GTO Engineering is keen to point out that it has developed buttons and switches for the cabin rather than using touchscreens like so many modern cars. Nevertheless, the car will also support smartphone integration and features an infotainment screen, even though it isn’t visible in these sketches. It is all part of the ‘hidden’ technology package that GTO Engineering has designed into the interior which also includes an audio system.

“Squalo drivers will spend more time inside the car than looking at it from the outside, so it was vital to us that we not only listened to our customers but also drew on our experience of driving sports cars to focus on what’s important within the cabin: simplicity and driver engagement,” GTO Engineering managing director and founder Mark Lyon said. “As a bespoke, hand crafted vehicle we want to make sure that every detail has been carefully thought out, and are continuing to be deliberated at length as we get closer to the production specification. We hope the drawings explain some of our thoughts and focus on craftsmanship as well as material selection.”

Powering the Squalo will be a quad-cam naturally aspirated V12 coupled to a manual transmission. Final specs, such as the engine’s size and output figures, have yet to be released, but GTO Engineering has said that it has already received customer orders and the first examples will be delivered to their owners in 2023.
