The Arrinera Hussarya was a sports car project by Polish automotive manufacturer Arrinera Automotive. It was touted by Arrinera as the first supercar designed and engineered in Poland.[5] It was named after Poland's Hussar cavalry.[6][7] The project never went beyond the prototype stage as Arrinera went defunct in 2021 without entering serial production.[8]

The prototype of Arrinera premiered on 9 June 2011 to shareholders and investors. Some journalists gave the supercar the name "Venocara", although Arrinera Automotive has never officially used that name.[9] It featured scissor doors for both the concept car and the production car.[10]
In August 2012 Arrinera Automotive officially announced the name Hussarya for its new model. The name is derived from Poland's Hussar cavalry of the 16th century.[11]
Specifications
The Arrinera Hussarya 33 was to be tested with a mid-mounted General Motors-sourced supercharged 6.2-litre V8 producing 800 PS (588 kW; 789 bhp). This engine, based on GM's LS3 engine, drives the rear wheels.[12][13][14]

Special editions
On 18 July 2012, it was announced that Arrinera planned to produce 33 units of a special "Series 33" version of the Hussarya, with exclusive designs on the exterior and the interior.[15]
Controversy
In 2012 Polish radio and online journalist Jacek Balkan asserted that the vehicle was not an original supercar but a low-cost replica of a Lamborghini using parts from an Opel Corsa and an Audi A6.[16][17] Arrinera sued Balkan for slander, but the journalist was acquitted.[18]
