Spyros Panopoulos is becoming more and more active regarding the Greek "ultracar" Chaos. The schedule may have changed but the project continues as normal as he and his team work feverishly to complete it.
An important reason for the delay was the global situation in recent years due to covid. At the same time though, the Panopoulos wants to create a vehicle where most parts are made in Greece and from 3D printers.
This time he showed us Chaos from the sides, which as you will see is covered with protective plastic. The image taken two weeks ago does not show the ultracar's regular rims but the temporary ones he has installed.
Note that the normal rims are made of zylon material, while it will also have titanium rims as an alternative. In the photo he uploaded on his personal page on Instagram , the little girl is his daughter Amelie.
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.
