Vittori announced a production
partnership with Totum 3D and ShapeUp Studios to design, prototype, and
manufacture titanium 3D printed components for its three phase roadmap:
hypercars first, followed by premium eVTOL and electric jet programs.
The
scope covers design‑for‑additive reviews, rapid prototyping, and pilot short‑run
builds of 3D‑printed parts. The teams are testing a practical mix of
materials—titanium for strength‑to‑weight, stainless and maraging steels for
heavy loads, aluminum alloys for light structures, nickel superalloys for hot
zones, copper alloy for cooling hardware, and aerospace polymers like PEEK and
ULTEM for cabin‑safe components (examples include 316L and 17‑4PH stainless,
AlSi10Mg and Scalmalloy aluminum, Inconel 718, and CuCrZr). For larger
sections, they pair printed parts with carbon‑fiber panels and honeycomb cores,
and any cabin‑facing materials will be qualified to meet aviation flame, smoke,
and toxicity standards.

“As
others explore aerospace concepts, we’re putting titanium parts into production
now,” said Carlos Cruz, founder of Vittori. “Proving hardware on the road first
lowers risk and speeds our move to the air. The same printed structures and
thermal systems will migrate into our eVTOL and, later, our electric
jet.”“Vittori’s road‑to‑air plan is a strong fit for metal additive,” said
Stefano Turconi, Head of Totum 3D. “Common, lightweight architectures reduce
part count and lead time while meeting demanding performance targets.”
Industry
context: public reports note leaders like Christian von Koenigsegg examining
aviation concepts. Vittori’s approach focuses on production today with third‑party
manufacturing and a clear transfer path from road to air.
Vittori’s
AI-hybrid hypercar, the Vittori Turbio—featuring a V12 targeting about 1,100
horsepower and 3D-printed titanium components—is scheduled for unveiling on
October 4 in collaboration with Pininfarina. Further design details will be
shared at the live event. This announcement comes as Vittori advances its
current fundraising round to accelerate prototype production and support its
three-phase roadmap from road to air.
