In a world dominated by digital systems, automation, and mass production, true automotive purity has become rare.
Rina, the first creation of Automobili Mignatta, represents a deliberate return to essence. Conceived by founder José Mignatta and developed in the heart of Piedmont, Italy, this handcrafted barchetta embodies a philosophy that speaks directly to collectors and connoisseurs of authentic driving.
This is not a supercar designed to impress with numbers.It is a statement of identity.

An Homage to Italian Heritage
Italy has shaped the global imagination of performance and elegance through icons such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Maserati.
Rina does not attempt to replicate that legacy. It distills its spirit.
The name itself is intimate, refined, unmistakably Italian. It reflects personal heritage while evoking the timeless grace of 1960s racing barchettas. Minimal windshield, exposed emotion, mechanical honesty. The driver is not separated from the machine. The experience is direct, tactile, visceral.

Crafted, Not Manufactured
At the core of Rina lies a carbon fiber monocoque chassis, combining modern engineering with artisanal assembly. Every element is intentionally curated. Natural materials, precision finishing, and a production process that prioritizes craftsmanship over scale.
Each vehicle is built in limited numbers, with extensive personalization options. Ownership is not transactional. It is relational.
This is the difference between acquisition and belonging.


For the International Collector

Rina is designed for a refined audience: collectors who already own modern hypercars, yet seek something rarer. Something analog. Something that cannot be replicated by software.
In today’s luxury landscape, exclusivity is no longer defined by price alone. It is defined by authenticity, production scarcity, and cultural depth.

Italian craftsmanship heritage inspiration
Luxury is evolving. Sophistication today is quieter, more intentional, more rooted in heritage.

For those who understand, no explanation is needed.
