The ex-Koenigsegg chief designer Sasha Selipanov has launched a hypercar brand called Nilu27. When you think of Koenigsegg, what is your first thought? For me, it is raw performance and power. Now imagine my excitement that an ex-Koenigsegg chief designer has decided to create a new car brand. All the excitement has become manifold looking at their car roar in the latest teaser. Here is all you need to know about the first Nilu27 car set this year.
The First Nilu27 Hypercar
The first teaser from the company reveals the rear of their hypercar, which gives a short yet loud roar. They claim that they are unfazed by digitalization, electrification, and other distractions and are focusing on the ultimate automotive experience with a dose of ‘holy shit’ mixed in for good measure. It has a triple exhaust at the centre of the rear part. Above that is a triple-decker rear wing, and below it is a third brake light that might remind you of F1 cars. One other highlight is a pair of gullwing doors. You can also see its suspension in the teaser. Nilu27 claimed it would reveal this hypercar on 15th August 2024 at Pebble Beach.
