Nilu27, the new hypercar brand founded by renowned sports car designer Sasha Selipanov, has revealed its first creation: the NILU hypercar. After building anticipation with social media teasers, the car has finally been unveiled, and it's clear that it challenges conventional automotive trends.

Rejecting modern trends like electrification and digitalisation, the NILU hypercar focuses on delivering a pure, raw driving experience. Inspired by a mix of 1960s F1 cars, classic Italian design, Bauhaus principles, American muscle, and even avant-garde metal music, the car's design is both unique and functional.

The NILU features a bespoke carbon fibre chassis with tubular aluminium-alloy subframes, a compact, ergonomic cabin, and analog controls. This car is all about the essentials, with a focus on performance and driver engagement. The only screen in the car is for the rear-view camera, ensuring the driver’s full concentration on the road.

Under the bonnet, the NILU hypercar houses a 6.5-litre V12 engine, developed in partnership with Hartley Engines. This naturally aspirated engine delivers over 1,000 horsepower, making the NILU one of the most powerful cars of its kind. The engine's design, including its unique ‘Hot V’ configuration and stunning 12-into-1 exhaust, emphasises both performance and aesthetic appeal.

Production of the NILU hypercar will be extremely limited, with only 15 units available. The first prototype and customer cars will be assembled by Aria Group in California. Nilu27 also plans to develop a street-legal version, limited to 54 units.
