Der aktuelle Hypercar hype has also arrived in Greece. With the Project chaos that is what the Greeks want Spyros Panopoulos - free of any electrification - explore new performance regions. The hypercar was presented completely new during the days. Proclaimed performance values in the amount of 2.000 3.000 to PS are actually no longer a novelty, due to the many electrified hypercars. But it is special when these performance values from a Combustion with a double turbo-charging should be achieved. Especially if this is to be done without the involvement of one or more electric machines. That is the goal of the Greek Spyros Panoupoulos with his sports car project "Chaos".
Four-liter V10 twin-turbo engine!
And Spyros Panopoulos is no stranger to the international horsepower circus. He has been known for years to satisfy motor sports enthusiasts' hunger for performance. Not only in the most varied of motor sports such as touring car, hill climb, rally or dragster sports and other racing series, but also in the development of High performance sports car is he known. He started building athletes 20 years ago. It started with a two-liter turbo engine that achieved an output of 1.400 hp and was built for you Mitsubishi lancer evolution. According to his own statements, the Greek is also in possession of various world records on the subject of "Power per cubic capacity".
But this was all new Hyper sports car project chaos out which opens completely new power galaxies. And the Greek would like it two versions build: the Zero Gravity and the Earth variant. Both versions should have a length of 5,05 meters, a width of 2,07 meters and a height of only 1,21 meters. In both, he relies on a pure combustion engine, equipped with double turbocharging, i.e. completely without Support from any e-machines. Spread over ten combustion chambers there are 3.988 cubic centimeters Displacement. These are arranged in a V shape. The block and cylinder heads of the four-valve valve are made of aluminum. The camshafts are off Titan manufactured as well as the valves from a titanium / Iconel compound. The compression should be maximal 12,3:1 be. The engine also has a Dry sump lubrication.
Up to 12.000 revolutions!
Even the basic Earth vision of the V10 reached violent 2.077 PS and has a maximum torque of 1.389 Nm. The unit can rotate up to 10.000 rpm. Panopoulos is planning this version with a Top speed of +500 km / h and weighing only 1.388 kg. The turbo engine also worked with 3D-printed pistons and connecting rods made of titanium. The engine supposedly creates the mayhem within 1,9 seconds at 100 km / h to accelerate and after 4,6 seconds becomes a speed of 200 km/h achieved. There are 8 on the speedometer within 300 seconds.
even more brutal: Zero Gravity variant
And with the Zero Gravity variant, everything is done again increased. The speed limit is set to 12.200 revolutions increased, the performance increases 3.107 PS and the maximum torque will be on 1.984 Nm elevated. This variant should achieve a top speed of well over 500 km / h. And the sprint times are also significantly reduced again. According to the manufacturer, 100 km / h are within 1,55 seconds reached, 200 km / h after another 1,7 seconds and the 300 km / h mark is after 7,1 seconds reached. However, these are key data that we want to see first! Here, too, carbon, titanium and ceramic from Panopolus are used on both turbochargers. The engine inputs the power with ceramic pistons and carbon connecting rods Dual-clutch transmission which electronically distributes the output to all four wheels (35% front / 65% rear). The transmission should use either speed steps seven or eight have.
many parts come from the 3D printer
In a monocoque made of synthetic fiber Cylon sits the four-liter V10 twin-turbo engine. The material, which is particularly light and resistant, is also used in Formula 1. With regard to the body, Panopoulos relies on an elongated shell made of carbon and Kevlar, which is also very flat and aerodynamically optimized. In addition, the wheelbase is 2.854 millimeters. What is special is that most of the moving parts are produced using a 3D printer. You will either Titanium or magnesium produced.
Price range from 5,5 to 12,4 million euros
The rims, which one size in front 9x21 in have and behind 13x22 in are also made from titanium. There's one behind the rims XXL carbon ceramic brake system. In the case of the system, the pulley size depends on the expansion stage of the engine. 422 to 452 millimeters are possible at the front and between 416 and 426 millimeters at the rear. Those made in the 3D printer bite into the panes Magnesium flask. But one is also possible at the front 482 millimeters Disc and one with at the back 442 millimeters. The wheels are hung on double ones from the 3D printer Wishbonesmade of either titanium or magnesium.
There is space for two people in the interior. It is obvious that there are so many Carbon, Zylon and Alcantara. Instead of buttons or switches there are Augmented Reality functions. The ignition is released via fingerprint recognition. The rear-view mirrors are being replaced by cameras and monitors. It should even be possible that the chaos is in its driver can put into it. This works by the system analyzing the driver's stress level and, if necessary, the Performance automatically reduced. The aim was actually to present the chaos at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2021, but so far only the belated online presentation has come out. Let's hope the project doesn't look like that Devel sixteen who will end up with his planned 5.000 PS will probably never reach series production.
Limited edition "per continent"!
Per continent should only 20 copies produced by chaos, but not including Antarctica. That means 120 vehicles could there be! Incidentally, the chaos is to be driven out by the auction house Sotheby'y. According to Panopoulos, the price range starts at 5,5 million euros for the basic model and goes up to the fully equipped Zero Gravity at 14,2 million euros. And the first vehicle has probably even been sold. It is planned to deliver to the customer in early 2022. So you are further than W with the Devel Sixteen. PS: With the Zion Hydrogen Supercar and the Apeiron the Greek has two more exciting projects in the cooker.
Don't worry, of course that was far from being the case when it came to auto / auto tuning. Our magazine still has tens of thousands other tuning reports in stock. Do you want to see them all?
