Since the birth of the car, Austria has never had many opportunities to show off on the international scene, but in 2012 Milan Automotive changed the cards on the table.

Founded by the former pilot Markus Fux, the company aimed to create the first Austrian hypercar and the result, after six years of development, was the birth of Red.

Based on a monocoque carbon fibre frame wrapped in a body made of the same material, the car was equipped with a ALV List V8 6.2 engine driven by a seven-speed sequential gearbox combined with rear-wheel drive.

The special feature of Red is the use of four-carbon suspension in carbon fibre, a material never used for such applications on a road car and a solution that should improve agility and driving precision.

  • Austria isn’t really new to “pumping” out cars. There is not a car maker anymore (Steyr Daimler Puch which produced the Pinzgauer and Haflinger) but a lot of cars and abd car parts are assembled there. Steyr in Graz is Magna (Frank Stronach a former Austrian based in Ontario, Canada founded Magna) bought this production plant. Look at the thread for the Mercedes G about the Schoeckl. A mountain close to Graz.

    Most of the first 4WD Mercedes and Alfa‘s where build in Austria.

    Not to forget AVL, the biggest Diesel engineering company in the world.
