Sanrivatti Unveils Prone‑Seated ‘Apex Position’ Hypercar Concept
Sanrivatti markets a motorcycle-style driving posture as a way to deepen driver connection with no technical, safety or pricing details released.
Overview
- In late June the Dutch startup published line drawings and a concept narrative for a single-seat, mid-engined hypercar that places the driver in a forward‑leaning, motorcycle-like 'Apex Position'.
- The project lists senior industry figures including Santiago Sánchez Rivero from Donkervoort and ex‑McLaren P1 program lead Paul Arkesden, giving the concept technical credibility despite its early stage.
- Sanrivatti says the Apex Position will extend the driver’s field of vision, improve body alignment and let the driver move with the car through proprietary systems under development.
- The company has not disclosed powertrain, chassis materials, performance, safety testing, price or production plans, raising unanswered regulatory and crash‑safety questions about road legality and real‑world use.
- Reporters and commentators have noted that typical hypercar buyers prize status, two‑seat layouts and comfort, so the single‑seat prone layout prompts skepticism about market demand and practical ownership.
