The designer finally presented his Nilu supercar (22 photos)
More than 1000 horsepower, 3 seconds to 100 and no electronics. 
The Nilu27 company, founded in the USA by designer Alexander Selipanov, who managed to work at Bugatti and Koenigsegg, presented its first model - a coupe of the same name, which will be positioned as a supercar for connoisseurs of analog brutality and unclouded sensations. Nilu received an original design, a unique naturally aspirated V12 and a circulation of only 69 copies.
According to Alexander Selipanov's plan, the exterior design of Nilu should serve as a direct hint of its character. The coupe features an abundance of ventilation ducts, including NACA air ducts, gull-wing doors and an unusual design of the stern: there are no panels above the engine compartment, so the exhaust manifold and suspension parts are on display. At the same time, despite the analog nature of the coupe, it received ultra-modern lighting.
The Nilu interior is minimalist: a steering wheel, pedals, a simple instrument cluster and a transmission selector. Several mechanical switches are located on the ceiling, and the only display is mounted in the rearview mirror. There are no conventional seat adjustments. The seats are built into the body, so it is proposed to adjust the driver's seat to suit yourself using movable headrests and a pedal assembly.
The Nilu is based on a carbon fiber monocoque with aluminum tubular subframes and has a fully independent suspension, made according to the scheme with push rods. The 21-inch wheels are combined with Brembo carbon brakes with 6-piston calipers. But the main advantage of the supercar should be its engine.
The naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 was developed specifically for this project by the New Zealand company Hartley Engines. It can spin up to 13,000 rpm, has individual throttle bodies and an exhaust manifold located in the collapse of the cylinder block. Due to the complex shape of the exhaust, it is printed on a 3D printer. The engine develops 1070 hp and 860 Nm and can be considered one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful naturally aspirated engine in the world. It works with a 7-speed manual transmission. The estimated acceleration time of the Nilu to 100 km/ h is less than 3 seconds with a maximum speed of about 400 km/ h.
The debut Nilu models, a total of 15, will be designed for racing tracks. Later, the company will release another 54 cars for public roads, and four of them should have a unique design. Alexander Selipanov does not disclose the cost of his supercar.
