Meet NILU27: V12 Hypercar by Ex-Bugatti/Lamborghini/Koenigsegg Designer

Experience the NILU27: a 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 hypercar built for drivers who want raw sound, raw power, and a real gated 7-speed manual. In this video, we break down the engineering, the man behind the car, the specs, the production plan, and why collectors and enthusiasts are already paying close attention. #NILU27 #V12 #Hypercar #SashaSelipanov #PebbleBeach 8:07 v12 Sound The NILU27 is powered by a free-breathing 6.5-liter V12 producing around 1,070 horsepower and 634 lb-ft of torque. There are no turbos, no hybrid assistance, and no electronic driving modes. Power goes exclusively to the rear wheels through a bespoke seven-speed manual gearbox, delivering a pure, analog driving experience rarely seen in modern hypercars. The car was designed by Sasha Selipanov, a former designer at Lamborghini, Bugatti, and Koenigsegg, who left the corporate world to build his own vision of the ultimate driver’s machine. The engine was developed in collaboration with Hartley Engines, featuring twelve individual throttle bodies, a hot-V layout, and a dramatic 12-into-1 exhaust system. The NILU27 made its public debut at Monterey Car Week in August 2024, following a private preview earlier that month. Production will be extremely limited, starting with just 15 initial examples, followed by a street-legal run capped at 54 cars. Each car is hand-assembled with a focus on mechanical purity rather than mass production. Inside, the NILU27 rejects modern digital excess. There is no infotainment system, no traction control, and no driving modes. The cockpit centers around a gated manual shifter, analog gauges, machined metal switches, and a simple rearview camera display. Every control is mechanical, and every interaction is designed to keep the driver fully engaged. This video explores why the NILU27 stands apart in an era dominated by hybrid systems and electric power, and why it may represent one of the last true analog V12 hypercars ever built. If you’re into Formula 1, drag racing, supercars, performance builds, or modified cars, this is one you don’t want to miss.
