Sanrivatti Based in the Netherlands, a new startup called Sanrivatti is still in concept mode but has experience onboard from Bentley, Lotus, and others.There's no word on powertrain details, but the company's Moto GP-like driver position is certainly unique.If it works, this head-forward position might change decades of how drivers have experienced the road.For years, supercar manufacturers have made a great deal of fuss about how doors should open. Ferrari can get away with normal doors, but Lamborghini needs a bit more theater: thus, doors go up. Then there are McLarens and their dihedral butterfly doors. But one thing all these automakers haven't really messed with is how you're supposed to sit in your car. That's all about to change, thanks to a new startup hypercar company.
Engine? Unknown. Engineering partnerships? Unknown. Instead, Netherlands-based Sanrivatti is announcing its arrival by highlighting how the driver is going to interact with its upcoming hypercar in a previously unheard-of way. Instead of being seated in the usual sense, you're going to ride this thing.
