The NILU hypercar, the brainchild of Sasha Selipanov, is set to debut at Pebble Beach during Monterey Car Week in August. The Nilu27 brand's inaugural creation, the V12-powered NILU hypercar, promises to be a breathtaki­ng fusion of beauty and raw performanc­e.

Sasha Selipanov, renowned for his work on the Lamborghin­i Huracán, Bugatti Chiron, and Koenigsegg Gemera, brings his two-decade-long expertise to Nilu27. His vision is to rekindle the emotional essence of sports cars, focusing on visceral engagement rather than technologi­cal over-saturation. The NILU hypercar, featuring a naturally aspirated engine, aims to deliver an authentic analogue driving experience that stimulates the senses.

Inna Selipanov, with her extensive marketing and business developmen­t experience, complement­s Sasha's design prowess. Their collaborat­ion, rooted in their dynamic work history at Genesis and Koenigsegg, sets the stage for a brand that promises to disrupt the automotive industry with its unique approach.

The NILU hypercar will be unveiled to industry insiders in Los Angeles in early August before its public debut at Pebble Beach on August 15. Following this, it will be showcased at various events, culminatin­g at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.

Founded in 2024, Nilu27 aims to produce quintessen­tial sports cars that celebrate the sensory elements of driving. By sometimes stepping away from technology, Nilu27 aims to build cars for true enthusiast­s, promising vehicles that are as emotionall­y engaging as they are visually stunning.
