History

In July 2015, [4] [5] Trion first unveiled the Nemesis as a full-scale concept model to the public, along with one of the intended drivetrains. [6] [7] [8] The car was initially intended to enter production in 2018. [9] [10]

In January 2016, the Trion Nemesis RR was unveiled at the Silicon Valley Auto Show. [11] In November 2016, Trion Supercars displayed the Nemesis in the SEMA Show followed by the LA Auto Show.[ citation needed ]

The Trion Nemesis is planned to be produced as a street legal vehicle, aiming to become the fastest street legal car. [12] Pre-orders in 2016 had a base price of 1.6 million USD. [13]

The Nemesis RR is a mid-engine four wheel drive supercar, powered by a 9.0L twin turbocharged V8 engine capable of producing 2000 hp. Power will be channeled to all four wheels via an eight-speed sequential transmission. The RR will feature all wheel drive, traction management system and 10 speaker JBL sound system.

The Nemesis GT was expected to reach a top speed of 218 mph, accelerate from 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds, and deliver about 1400 horsepower. The base model started at 1.2 million USD. [13]

As of November 2024 Trion has yet to release a production version of the vehicles it has previewed and which were under various stages of development, including having presented and shown a full scale mock-up models to the public at various events in recents years.

The corporate entity is still in operation and has announced that it is still in development of a Hypercar, [14] the project now appearing to have evolved and expanded featuring an all electric drivetrain. [15]

Power-to-weight ratio is a measurement of actual performance of any engine or power source. It is also used as a measurement of performance of a vehicle as a whole, with the engine's power output being divided by the weight of the vehicle, to give a metric that is independent of the vehicle's size. Power-to-weight is often quoted by manufacturers at the peak value, but the actual value may vary in use and variations will affect performance.
