TapTechNews August 8th news, the emerging supercar brand Nilu27 officially launched its new supercar Nilu. This brand was founded by the renowned designer Sasha Selipanov, who had participated in the design of top sports cars such as Bugatti Chiron, Koenigsegg Gemera, Lamborghini Huracan, and Genesis Mint concept car.
According to TapTechNews, the design of Nilu was inspired by the F1 and Le Mans racing cars in the 1960s, integrating elements of Italian classic design and American muscle cars. In appearance, the car has exaggerated air intakes and gull-wing doors, paired with 20- and 21-inch Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2R tires and carbon-ceramic brake systems. The body lines are smooth, and the overall style combines retro and modern. The rear of the car has a Pagani-like style and is equipped with a 3D-printed stainless steel exhaust system, as well as a huge diffuser and brake lights.
The interior is mainly in a minimalist style, with a large number of handcrafted metal parts and emphasizing manual operation. Only a rearview camera display screen is equipped, and the steering wheel, pedals, seats, and rearview mirrors are all manually adjustable. The instrument panel design is simple, mainly with physical buttons.
In terms of power, Nilu is equipped with a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine from Hartley Engines, with a maximum power of 1085 horsepower and a peak torque of 860 pound-feet. The transmission system is matched with a 7-speed manual transmission. The official claims that the car's top speed can reach 400 kilometers per hour, but says that the 0-100 kilometers per hour acceleration time depends on the driver's skill.
In terms of the chassis, Nilu adopts a double-wishbone push-rod suspension system and a carbon fiber monocoque chassis, and the dry weight of the whole vehicle is only 1200 kilograms.
Currently, Nilu is still in the prototype stage, and the first 15 track versions will be assembled in California, USA. In the future, Nilu27 also plans to launch a limited 54-road versions. The car will be officially unveiled at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance on August 18.
