Chaos, the Greek ultracar with over 3,000 horsepower: dream or reality?

Greece also enters the small world of ultra-high-performance cars, thanks to a project with an enlightening name – Greek Chaos – which aims to be the milestone of a new type of model: ultracars, which go beyond supercars (by now, almost toys), and hypercars, so far the new frontier. As always, between launching (the idea) and making (the prototype) there is the sea (in this case the Aegean). Spyros Panopoulos, CEO of SP Automotive calmly declares that he wants to cancel any previous record on asphalt. Starting with the fastest lap at the Nurburgring, the highest top speed and the fastest 1/4 mile. These ambitions, together with the fact that for now the Greek Chaos has only been seen in a web presentation, have made experts and enthusiasts doubt the declared technical data and even the existence of the project itself. In short, an auto-fake, which amazed above all for the maximum power of 3,000 Hp which is the basis of the ultracar concept?

TECHNICAL DATA

—

So let’s see the specifications of the Greek Chaos, equipped with a newly developed 4.0-liter twin-turbo V10 petrol engine, which delivers (or would deliver) up to 3,065 Hp (but there would also be a more “quiet” version of about 2,000 Hp ) for a 0-100 km / h in just 1.55 seconds, a quarter mile sprint (about 400 meters) in 7.5 seconds and a top speed of over 500 km / h. These data would be enough to burn out the world‘s best-performing electric production car, the Rimac Nevera (8.58 seconds on the ¼ of a mile) and without delay exceed the top speed of the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ at 490.484 km / h. Thanks to a structure made of 100% composites, the vehicle weight would be just under 1,300 kg: an undeclared figure, but derived from the weight-to-power ratio of 2.3 Hp / kg communicated by SP Automotive. Very high downforce, which would reach 1,740 kg at an unspecified speed: close to the 1,800 kg declared by the Aston Martin Valkyrie. Also monstrous brakes and rims, with the former, carbon ceramic, 428 mm at the front and 416 mm at the rear. The latter are 21 ” at the front and 22 ” at the rear: made of titanium by 3D printing, a technique used for 90% of the mechanical parts.

Also communicated the dimensions: 5,053 mm in length, 2,068 mm in width, wheelbase of 2,854 mm, 1,121 mm in height. Having said that the shapes are those expected from a special vehicle, the futuristic dashboard was also seen: steering wheel with integrated touchscreen, another large touchscreen in front of the passenger, few physical controls on the center console and a heads-up display. SP Automotive talks about augmented reality, VR glasses, 5G capabilities, fingerprint recognition, voice commands and facial recognition cameras that read the facial expressions of its driver to adapt the driving characteristics of the vehicles according to their mood and abilities . The units built, which will obviously be limited, will only be distributed in 20 units per year, exclusively at Sotheby’s. The price declared by SP Automotive between 5.5 million euros (the 2,000 hp version) to 12.4 million euros (the 3,000 hp version). Assumptions with which the model could pave the way for a trend among real millionaires. Provided that Greek Chaos exists.
