A NEW hypercar hopes to enter the vehicle market as a rock-inspired race car, with an unapologetically oil-burning engine and a handful of physical buttons.
Nilu27 has revealed its shockingly powerful sports car that a car enthusiast said is the anti-Tesla.

The company’s first prototype vehicle, the NILU hypercar, packs a mighty 1,000 horsepower, according to Cover Images.
Popular YouTuber Sandy Munro called the car the “antithesis of the Cybertruck” in a recent video.
The car’s designer, Sasha Selipanov, a former Koenigsegg engineer, said the car is an unabashed rock star.
NILU’s hypercar dispenses with electric motors and interior digitalization.
Instead, the vehicle offers a “raw, unfiltered and uncensored driving experience,” according to the company.
The company currently predicts it will build 15 iterations of the car at a whopping $3.7 million.
The cars will have a new carbon fiber chassis system and aluminum alloy subframes.
The company said the materials will make the weak point more accessible for maintenance and improve heat management at high speeds.
The car is powered by a 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine.
Huge Brembo brake pads control the vehicle’s deceleration while drivers ride on thick Michelin sports tires.
The cabin surrounds drivers with multiple manual buttons, a series of analog gauges, and no digital display.
The Nilu27 designer said the car is a headstrong and bold departure from the growing EV segment.
He also praised the move away from digitized vehicle cabins.
“My path in the industry has never been about following rules and adhering to norms,” Selipanov said in a statement.
“I’ve never been afraid to follow my intuition or pursue my dreams.”
Differences from NILU
Here’s how the hypercar NILU says it differentiates itself from the rest of the US market:
The NILU hypercar stands in stark contrast to modern vehicles, the company said.
Vehicles are rejecting the widespread adoption of electrification and digitalization.
Unlike the tech-laden interiors and touchscreen dashboards that dominate today’s designs, NILU offers an analog cabin experience.
Its naturally aspirated V12 engine is also part of a dying breed of gas-powered engines.
Several vehicle manufacturers are abandoning fuel-burning engines in their hypercars.
However, the NILU hypercar hits the market at a difficult time.
Regulations in several states require manufacturers to offer more electric vehicle options.
The US federal government is also launching programs that seek to increase the fuel efficiency of automobiles.
Meanwhile, several automakers producing hypercars have yet to transition to full electrification.
Drivers hoping to spend millions on a race car can still purchase several petroleum-powered Bugatti, Koenigsegg and McLaren models.
ROUGH RIDE
Progress towards the launch of Nilu27 will have to face a global movement to electrify vehicles.
Several countries in Asia, North America, Europe and Australia have adopted electrification mandates.
In the US, eight states expect to switch to EVs by 2035.
The federal government is also passing new regulations that require manufacturers to make their gasoline cars more efficient by 2032.
In addition to changes in electrification, the federal government is also looking to increase the digitalization of cabins to enforce vehicle safety measures.
Some regulators have looked at speed limiting devices to prevent drivers from using public roads at excessive speeds.
