Like most automotive startups, Jannarelly had the unenviable task of proving that it could handle the strains and rigors of being a certified automaker. It’s not enough that the man behind the company, Anthony Jannarelly, designed the Lykan Hypersport and Fenyr Supersport for W Motors. Designing a car is completely different from owning a company that makes cars, but give credit where it’s due because Jannarelly seems to have cleared a lot of hurdles on its way to developing and selling the retro-styled Design-1 roadster. Now there’s more good news as the Design-1 is on track to be made available in the U.S.
According to Carscoops, Jannarelly has struck a distribution deal with VanDouble Enterprises LCC, a New York-based company that will handle the importation and registration of all Design-1 roadsters that make their way to America. The company has also stated, to the relief of those interested in the car, that the Design-1 will be fully legal to drive on U.S. roads.
The car’s status in the U.S. is arguably the most important element that’ll determine the success of the Design-1 in this region and now that it’s been reportedly cleared, it should pave the way for the car to arrive with no issues, provided of course that Jannarelly lives up to its end of bringing them here in the first place. The only caveat to the car’s entry to the U.S. market is the price. Originally priced at about $55,000, the roadster will now cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $84,000, effectively putting it in the range of the entry-level Porsche 911 Carrera.
