Nilu27 introduced its highly anticipated hypercar, complete with upgrades on its engine, function and aesthetics.
Car Expert reported Sunday that the NILU hypercar will come with a carbon-fiber monocoque and lightweight, aluminum-alloy subframes. The sophisticated build is also complemented with monochromatic white paint for a classy appearance.
The vehicle is powered by a 6.5-liter V-12 engine, enabling it to harbor 798kW (kilowatts) of power and 860Nm (newton-meter) of torque.
According to Robb Report, the vehicle can go up to 60 mph in three seconds and maximize its performance at around 250 mph.
The engine showcases a total of 12 individual throttle bodies for rapid throttle response, while the exhaust and intake positions are swapped, improving its packaging, heat absorption and overall look.

The NILU hypercar also features the double wishbone, pushrod suspension, along with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires -- 265/35 R20 at the front and 325/30 behind. The tires are also enclosed in white wheels from AppTech in Italy.
The vehicle also has a carbon-ceramic braking system from Brembo and Nilu27's high-performance CCM-R rotors.
Surprisingly, the vehicle lacks steering wheel buttons. It will also be exclusively available with a seven-speed manual transmission, an analog instrument cluster and a rear-view mirror.
The hypercar was developed through the partnership of Nilu27 and Hartley Engines in New Zealand. The model will debut at the Monterey Car Week in Pebble Beach on Aug. 15. At the showcase, only 15 prototype vehicles will be presented to interested consumers.
Apart from the 15-car launching endeavor, Nilu27 also plans to develop a homologated version of the hypercar, with only 54 units on the line. In November, the vehicle will be introduced in the mobile racing game "CSR Racing 2."
Nilu27 shared that its first-ever hypercar will offer a "raw, unfiltered, uncensored driving experience."
Prior to the hypercar's reveal, several photos teasing its design were leaked on Instagram in May.
