Greek startup Spyros Panopoulos (SP) Automotive has digitally unveiled the world’s first ultra-car named Chaos.
What exactly is an ultra-car? According to the company’s founder, Spyros Panopoulous, the Chaos ultra-car is a vehicle that accelerated like a Formula 1 car, recognizes and responds to the driver’s mood and abilities, and most of it is printed on a 3D printer using materials from aerospace technology, applied for the first time in a car .
The Chaos ultra-car develops up to 3,065 horsepower and accelerates from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in 1.55 seconds and from 100 to 200 kilometers per hour in another 1.7 seconds. Its top speed is 500 kilometers per hour, making it one of the fastest cars in the world. The car takes its name from the ancient Greek word “chaos”, which means the mythological state of emptiness preceding the creation of the universe.
“Since we have manufactured many performance car parts for a variety of production cars, such as Lamborghinis and McLarens, we came up with the idea of creating our own designed and produced car that will have all of these parts, and will be a vehicle completed by us in its entirety”, Panopoulos said Greek journalist.
With a background in computer programming and applied solution development, Panopoulos is also an avid runner. He also filed more than 30 new patents for innovative solutions used in the creation of the Chaos ultra-car.
According to the company, augmented reality, VR glasses, 5G, fingerprint recognition, voice commands and facial recognition are just some of the technologies Chaos drivers will be able to experience.
However, the Chaos model has so far only been shown off via digital images, and for many there is still a long way to go before actual production of the so-called ultra-car takes place. takes place.
“It takes a lot of money and also incredible engineering to be able to make a 3,000 horsepower engine. They also say that the gearbox will have “7 or 8 speeds”, which means they haven’t gone very far in development,” comments Skopje-based automotive journalist Ivo Gievski for The Recursive.
“It looks like the car is not yet ready for production, but we will see more in the coming months, depending on the seriousness of the promotion,” Gievski added.
Founded in 2019, SP Automotive specializes in the design and production of high specification performance parts featuring internal combustion engine technology.
“This is the first Ultra car proudly made in Greece, the country where the culture was born. There will be a limited number of Chaos Units (20) available for each continent,” Panopoulos wrote on his Facebook profile.
According to Panopoulus, the Chaos will be priced between €5.5 million for the base version and €12.5 million for the full-spec model.
