The world of ultra-exclusive hypercars is about to welcome a new member: the Spyros Panopoulos Project Chaos.
The Greek company named after its founder has been working on the high-end machine since last year, and the design appears to be complete. We have yet to see what lies beneath the cover, but it should be stunning – at least from a performance standpoint.
Power will come from a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V10 engine featuring titanium camshafts, Inconel valves, and 3D printed pistons and rods. It’s said to churn out 2,000 HP and can be revved up to 11,000 rpm, but with the ceramic pistons, carbon fiber rods and other mods, the start-up claims that the output grows to a jaw-dropping 3,000 HP, adding 1,000 rpm to the redline in the process.

The power unit will work in conjunction with an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and all-wheel drive system. No specs have been released, but we could be looking at under 2 seconds for the 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration and a theoretical top speed in excess of 500 km/h (311 mph).
This would put a lot of pressure on Bugatti and Koenigsegg, provided that it’s for real, because many have tried to enter this segment before and failed. The Project Chaos has a monocoque construction, using carbon fiber and Kevlar body panels, titanium quad exhaust pipes and 3D printed LED taillights.
It rides on 3D printed titanium wheels, 9×21-inch at the front and 13×22-inch at the rear, has double-wishbone fully independent suspension and 428-mm front and 416-mm (16.9-16.4 in) rear ceramic discs with 3D printed magnesium calipers. Inside, the Greek hypercar has room for two and promises to enhance the experience with augmented reality.
Spyros Panopoulos plans to host the big unveiling of the Project Chaos at the 2021 Geneva Motor Show, next March.
