Hypercars

Cadillac has revealed a dramatic new vehicle called the Project GTP Hypercar. The word “hypercar” makes it sound like a high-end production vehicle, but it’s actually a race car Cadillac plans to take to the track.

Hennessey has announced a new project that it will work on following the completion of its Venom F5 hypercar production. Next up will be the company’s first electric vehicle, called Project Deep Space. Hennessey says that it expects Deep Space to be the world’s quickest accelerating four-seater from 0-to-200 mph.

Bugatti is planning on building an extremely limited-edition run of its high-end Centodieci hypercars. Even though the company plans to build only 10 Centodieci cars, its testing regime remains the same. Recently the Italian automaker confirmed the vehicle had completed its high-temperature desert testing.

We’ve talked about the Czinger 21C before. Now the company behind the hypercar has revealed the specifications for the production vehicle. The numbers are insane with an in-house developed 2.88-liter flat crank twin-turbo V8 placed in the middle of the car.

Lotus is best known for making fun to drive, compact, and lightweight sports cars. So it took me by some surprise that they decided to skip right over building supercars and straight to creating their first ever hypercar.

Aston Martin has confirmed that it is building another hypercar. This one is dubbed Project “003”. If you are wondering the Valkyrie and Valkyrie AMR Pro were Projects “001” and “002” respectively. “003” will build on the tech and style from those earlier rides, but is likely to be even more bonkers.

Rimac is teasing a new car called the Concept Two, and it says that the new car will have more all-around capability than the Concept One. That car already had an astounding 1224 bhp and 1180 lb-ft of torque, and a 0-62 mph time of 2.5 seconds.

We all know that electric drivetrains are going to be a big part of our automotive future. Between concerns about the environmental impact of fossil fuels, the improvements in battery and motor tech, and the proliferation of recharging infrastructure, it’s only a matter of time before electric motors are in virtually every new car, either as a primary or secondary mode of propulsion.

Aston Martin is showing off some official images and giving up details on the Valkyrie hypercar it is working on. The design of the car is a bit of an acquired taste, but I bet it moves like the wind.

Hennessey Performance is teasing a new hypercar set to be unveiled in the coming months. The car is to be called the Venom F5, and all it wants is to be is the fastest production series super sports car in the world, taking aim directly at the Bugatti Chiron.

The car geeks over at Top Gear were fortunate enough to get a bit handsy with the Bugatti Chiron that recently turned up at Pebble Beach. While there, they also found out that Bugatti already has 200 orders on the books for the Chiron even though the car hasn’t launched officially just yet.

It’s funny, many of the traditional soldiers on the front lines of the horsepower wars (BMW, Audi, Etc.) seem to have just decided that “550 sure seems like plenty” and stopped really fighting as hard for ever more.
