History

Adamastor was founded in Porto in 2010 by Ricardo Quintas and Nuno Faria, with an academic and research component, becoming a car brand in 2019.

Inicially a project which focused on the development of a race car, the company started developing partnerships with national engineering groups and marketing universities. During the 2010s, groups of students were chosen to manage and compete in racing the car, each duly supported by an entrepreneur who acted as a mentor. [7]

Following the design of several chassis, the brand developed their first P003 model in the late 2010s. Since 2019 the brand focused on the development of a new car that would compete under the GT category regulations. As of 2024, the brand released their first ever model, as well as the first ever Portuguese car, Fúria.

Since the companies repositioning in 2019, Adamastor describes itself as a low-volume supercar manufacturer with its vision set on running in the 24h of Le Mans. [8]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Cinema of Portugal</span>

The Cinema of Portugal started with the birth of the medium in the late 19th century. Cinema was introduced in Portugal in 1896 with the screening of foreign films and the first Portuguese film was Saída do Pessoal Operário da Fábrica Confiança, made in the same year. The first movie theater opened in 1904 and the first scripted Portuguese film was O Rapto de Uma Actriz (1907). The first all-talking sound film, A Severa, was made in 1931. Starting in 1933, with A Canção de Lisboa, the Golden Age would last the next two decades, with films such as O Pátio das Cantigas (1942) and A Menina da Rádio (1944). Aniki-Bóbó (1942), Manoel de Oliveira's first feature film, marked a milestone, with a realist style predating Italian neorealism by a few years. In the 1950s the industry stagnated. The early 1960s saw the birth of the Cinema Novo movement, showing realism in film, in the vein of Italian neorealism and the French New Wave, with films like Dom Roberto (1962) and Os Verdes Anos (1963). The movement became particularly relevant after the Carnation Revolution of 1974. In 1989, João César Monteiro's Recordações da Casa Amarela won the Silver Lion at the Venice Film Festival and in 2009, João Salaviza's Arena won the Short Film Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Several other Portuguese films have been in competition for major film awards like the Palme d'Or and the Golden Bear. João Sete Sete (2006) was the first Portuguese animated feature film. Portuguese cinema is significantly supported by the State, with the government's Instituto do Cinema e do Audiovisual giving films financial support.
