In a world obsessed by electric hypercars and autonomous technology, it’s a good thing that there are still companies out there like Nilu27, founded by former Bugatti and Koenigsegg designer Sasha Selipanov. This brand aims to bring back the raw, visceral thrill of driving with their first creation, the NILU.
The NILU features a 6.5L naturally aspirated V12 engine producing 1,070 horsepower, a seven-speed manual gearbox, and weighs around 1,200 kilos. It’s designed for pure, exhilarating driving pleasure, reminiscent of classics like the Lamborghini Countach and GT40.
The NILU’s design is a blend of classic and futuristic elements, paying homage to iconic models like the Lamborghini Countach and Ferrari F40 while pushing modern design boundaries. The interior is minimalistic and driver-focused, with few distractions.
Only 15 launch-edition NILU hypercars will be produced, all intended for circuit racing. Additionally, the company plans to offer 54 street-homologated examples. The NILU will make its public debut at Pebble Beach, California, during Monterey Car Week on August 15.
