After 6 months of waiting, Kimera will finally unveil the K39 on May 15... the date coinciding with one of the world's most prestigious automotive events.

Everything seemed ready end 2025. A countdown, a perfectly orchestrated pressure build-up, and a community of enthusiasts convinced that Kimera Automobili was about to reach a historic milestone with its arrival in motorsport. Then... nothing. Radio silence. A date passed in the shadows, replaced by a new, much more distant countdown. Since then, fans had only one certainty: they would have to wait until May 15, 2026 to finally discover this famous K39. A long, frustrating wait of almost six months... but clearly calculated.

The countdown leads straight to Lake Como

A close look at the new countdown displayed by Kimera reveals a striking coincidence. The remaining 30 days take us precisely to mid-May... exactly when the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este 2026 will be held. Coincidence? Hard to believe.

Every year, this event on the shores of Lake Como, in Cernobbio, brings together the world's most prestigious automobiles. Futuristic concepts, historic models, unique creations... and above all, an exceptional showcase for manufacturers wishing to make their mark. And Kimera already knows the terrain.

A scenario already written in 2025

To understand why this hypothesis is more than credible, we need only look back. In 2025, Kimera Automobili chose this very event to present the’EVO38. A key moment in the history of the young Italian brand, which was then entering the very exclusive circle of manufacturers exhibited at Villa d'Este.

Alongside names such as Pagani and Alfa Romeo Zagato, Kimera had managed to capture attention with an already highly accomplished prototype. The EVO38 was not only an evolution of the’EVO37 It was a declaration of intent, proof that the brand could play in the big leagues. Against this backdrop, returning in 2026 with an even more ambitious car, this time dedicated to competition, would be a logical next step.

The K39, more than just a tribute

If the EVO37 and EVO38 paid tribute to rallying history, the K39 goes even further. Inspired by the legendary Lancia Beta Montecarlo Groupe 5, this new creation doesn't just revisit the past. Its ambition is to become a truly modern racing car, designed to perform and not simply to appeal to collectors.

Early reports point to a bespoke carbon monocoque, aerodynamics developed in a virtual wind tunnel, and above all a potentially explosive powertrain: a twin-turbo V8 combined with a KERS-type hybrid system, delivering up to 828 hp.

This is a radical change of scale for Kimera, which is moving from the status of restomod craftsman to that of a genuine manufacturer involved in competition.

A strategic revelation ahead of an even more ambitious goal?

This timetable also opens the door to another hypothesis already mooted in recent months: participation in the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb 2026. Presenting the K39 on May 15, in a setting as prestigious as the Villa d'Este, would give Kimera ideal worldwide exposure... just one month before the famous American race scheduled for June. The timing is almost too perfect.

Although nothing has yet been officially confirmed, all the elements seem to line up. A car designed for pure performance, a revelation in an exceptional event, and a potential baptism of fire in one of the world's most demanding races.

After months of waiting, speculation and frustration, the K39 is finally about to emerge from the shadows. And if all is confirmed, Kimera won't just be unveiling a new car. The brand could well be writing a new chapter in its history... on the shores of Lake Como, before setting its sights on the summits of Colorado.
