Chaos: The newest photos of the Greek Ultracar - What else did Panopoulos show us?

The timetable for the official unveiling of the Greek ultracar Chaos may have changed several times, but the project continues. Its creator Spyros Panopoulos has received strong criticism for this, however his principles are to build a vehicle that will be overwhelmingly built in Greece by Greek hands.

As he has stated he could have already completed Chaos using accessories and spare parts from abroad.

However, he remains true to what he said, that is to build a vehicle with things he has manufactured in Greece and that have been made by 3D printers.

Again… titanium

Lately he has been missing from social media and that is because he has been focused on completing Chaos. This time he uploaded another accessory of the vehicle, specifically a part that is between the suspension and the half-axle which passes through the middle.

This particular one is made of titanium (as is the suspension ), it has been manufactured in Greece and is printed.

Chaos is alleged to reach 3,000-hp and 12,000 RPM is a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V10 engine with some undisclosed form of hybrid assist.

SP Automotive says that will propel it to 62 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour) in just 1.8 seconds and on to a top speed of 310 miles per hour (499 kilometers per hour). This is the most potent version of the Chaos and costs an eye-watering $14.4 million.

According to Motor1, buyers looking for a more modest option, though, can select the “base” model with just 2,000 hp (1,491 kW).

The less-powerful version uses a slightly detuned version of the same V10 engine, with no hybrid assist, and costs a rather inexpensive $6.4 million by comparison.

Both engines pair to the same dual-clutch transmission, while all-wheel drive also comes standard on the pair.

And to assure this ultra car stops as well as it goes, SP Automotive fit the coupe with two massive rotors – 16.9-inch (428-millimeter) brake discs at the front and 16.4-inch (416-millimeter) discs at the rear, hidden behind a set of 22-inch, 3D-printed wheels.

With all that available power, SP Automotive says that it will attempt to break nearly every speed record in the book.

The Chaos will try and dethrone the Porsche 911 GT2 RS’s Nurburgring time (6:43:30), the SSC Tuatara’s 286.1-mph top speed run, and even the Rimac Nevera’s 8.58-second quarter-mile record.
