Nilu V-12 Hypercar with 1,070 HP

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.

2025 AC Cobra GT Coupe

Since it appeared on the market in 1962, the AC Cobra was only offered as a 2-door roadster, and now we have the first Cobra GT Coupe model. It is a version of the new Cobra GT Roadster with a closed roof, and with it comes the Clubsport Edition, which will be produced in only 99 copies.

The YouTube channel ‘AC Cars Official’ released a video of the new Cobra GT Coupe, stronger and faster than before. The car was developed with the pure mission of being focused on the track. Weighing just 1,450 kg and with a power output of 799 hp (596 kW), it reaches stratospheric performance and handling. Road legal but ready for the track, the AC Cobra GT Coupe is far beyond everything.

AC Cars plans to produce several versions of this model, such as those powered by a naturally aspirated V8 engine with 456 hp (340 kW) and a turbocharged V8 with 730 hp (544 kW), priced at over £325,000 plus taxes. Each car will be built in AC’s UK workshop and will feature a carbon body that is longer than the Cobra Roadster to make it more comfortable and suited to modern drivers.

Maserati produced two unique cars, Quattroporte Grand Finale and MC20 Iris

At the 1963 Turin Motor Show, Maserati premiered a four-door luxury sports sedan, the Maserati Quattroporte. Six decades later and after six generations, this model came to an end, and the last car was called the Quattroporte Grand Finale. It was delivered to a collector in the United States, who also bought a special edition MC20 Iris.

The Quattroporte Grand Finale is finished in Blu Nobile, and is equipped with a specially developed carbon fiber aerodynamic package. The last edition of the Quattroporte will be remembered in automotive memoirs and catalogs as the perfect interpreter and culmination of Maserati excellence, and the 5.26 meter long car is powered by a twin-turbo V8 engine with 572 hp (426 kW). The vehicle identification number 999999 is written on the windshield.

The cabin is decorated with Italian craftsmanship, with the use of high-quality materials made according to the specific requirements of the customer. There are also wooden decorations and leather inserts, which fit perfectly into the interior, as well as the Maserati logo embroidered on the headrests and a special Grand Finale emblem.

The Maserati MC20 Iris is finished in AI Aqua Rainbow and the same theme also continues in the interior of the car. The central tunnel and the steering wheel are covered with special leather. The name of the car and the theme were not chosen by chance, since Iris is the Latin word for rainbow.

It is not known how much the collector paid for these unique cars.
