Over a long period of time, many companies have appeared on the market with the aim of producing a supercar that would rival the likes of Lamborghini or Ferrari. However, most of them did not survive because they set an almost impossible task. One of those that managed to survive is the company Nilu27, which presented its new hypercar, the Nilu V-12.
Nila27 was founded by spouses Inna and Sasha Selipanov. Sasha Selipanov is a car designer and he participated in the creation of some of the best hypercars at the moment, such as the Bugatti Chiron, Koenigsegg Gemera Lamborghini Huracan or the Genesis Mint concept. Therefore, the design of this car is not a surprise.
Sasha’s vision was to bring together the best of 1960s Formula 1 cars, Le Mans racing cars, as well as classic Italian cars and old American muscle cars. The result is the Nilu V-12.
The car is designed with two large front intakes surrounded by rounded LED lights, the cabin dome is reminiscent of fighter planes, side openings, and gullwing doors are installed to facilitate entry. At the rear, there is a centrally placed exhaust system with three tailpipes made of Inconel using a 3D printer, a massive diffuser, as well as stop lights with 10 diodes in two rows on both sides.
The interior is minimalist, with a single screen showing the rear camera, manual and analog controls, a steering wheel located in front of the large round gauges, no buttons or switches. There are toggle switches on the ceiling.
When it comes to the powertrain, the car is powered by a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine with 1,070 hp (798 kW) and 634 lb-ft (860 Nm) of torque, developed by Hartley Engines. How long it takes to reach from 0 to 100 km/h is unknown, but the company said that the top speed, which this 1,200 kg car can reach, is limited to 400 km/h (248 mph).
According to the latest information, Nilu27 will produce only 15 cars and all of them will be intended for the race track. Road-legal examples should appear in the future, and the plan is to produce 54 cars.
