The Nilu27 is an upcoming sports car to be announced by former Koenigsegg, Lamborghini and Bugatti designer Sasha Selipanov. [1]
The car's name combines the names of the founders’ daughters, Nica and Lucia, and the number 27 honors a racing number worn by F1 drivers such as Gilles Villeneuve and Jean Alesi in the 1980s and 1990s. [2]
The sports car will feature a 6.5 liter naturally aspirated V12 engine created by Hartley Engines, a New Zealand-based company founded by a current WEC driver and former Formula 1 driver Brendon Hartley's older brother Nelson Hartley. The engine is said to have a redline of up to 11,000 rpm with 1070HP and 634 lb-ft of torque at 7000rpm.
The NiLu 27 will feature a 7-speed manual gearbox produced by CIMA.
It has a claimed top speed above 250mph and can accelerate from 0-100km/h in less than 3 seconds. If the figures were true, this would be the fastest naturally-aspirated production vehicle without hybrid technology after McLaren F1.
Koenigsegg Automotive AB is a Swedish manufacturer of high-performance sports cars based in Ängelholm, Skåne County, Sweden.
A supercar, also known as an exotic car, is a type of automobile generally described at its most basic as a street-legal sports car with race track-like power, speed, and handling, plus a certain subjective cachet linked to pedigree, exclusivity, or both. The term 'supercar' is frequently used for the extreme fringe of powerful, low-bodied mid-engine luxury sportscars. A low car has both a low, handling-favorable center of gravity, and less frontal area than a front engined car, reducing its aerodynamic drag and enabling a higher top speed. Since the 2000s, the term hypercar has come into use for the highest performance supercars.
The McLaren F1 is a sports car designed and manufactured by British automobile manufacturer McLaren Cars and powered by the BMW S70/2 V12 engine, of which a limited number was produced.

On 31 March 1998, the XP5 prototype with a modified rev limiter set the Guinness World Record for the world's fastest production car, reaching 240.1 mph (386.4 km/h), surpassing the Jaguar XJ220's 217.1 mph (349.4 km/h) record from 1992 achieved with an increased rev limit and catalytic converters removed.

The Koenigsegg CCX is a mid-engine sports car manufactured by Swedish automotive manufacturer Koenigsegg Automotive AB. The project began with the aim of making a global car, designed and engineered to comply with global safety and environment regulations, particularly to enter the United States car market. To sell cars in the US, many alterations were made to the design of the CCR; the previously used Ford Modular engine was replaced by an in-house developed Koenigsegg engine designed to run on 91 octane fuel, readily available in the United States, and to meet Californian emission standards.
This is a list of the world's record-breaking top speeds achieved by street-legal production cars. For the purposes of this list eligible cars are defined in the list's rules. This list uses a different definition to the List of automotive superlatives. The variation is because the term production car is otherwise undefined.
