Nilu27’s long-awaited new hypercar has a Hot V configuration.

Hartley Engines in New Zealand is behind the 1,070 hp powertrain.

Just 15 track cars come first, then 54 street-legal examples follow.

Two years ago, the newly established hypercar manufacturer Nilu27 unveiled its answer to models such as the Pagani Utopia and the GMA T.50. Badged simply the Nilu, it’s a back-to-basics, lightweight hypercar from the mind of Sasha Selipanov, the former Lamborghini, Bugatti, and Koenigsegg designer. Rather than lean on the industry’s usual playbook, he built the car around a set of choices that most manufacturers spent the last decade running away from.

var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]};

adpushup.que.push(function() {

if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){

adpushup.triggerAd("0f7e3106-c4d6-4db4-8135-c508879a76f8");

} else {

adpushup.triggerAd("82503191-e1d1-435a-874f-9c78a2a54a2f");

}

});

That contrarian streak shows up in the powertrain. In developing the car, Selipanov didn’t tap a world-famous engine builder such as Cosworth to supply it, but instead went with a twelve-cylinder from a New Zealand firm known as Hartley Engines. The unit recently fired up for the first time, and calling the result exciting would sell it short.

It’s a 6.5-liter, naturally aspirated V12 that revs to 11,000 rpm and has already topped its promised 1,070 hp in early dyno testing. Unlike some other exotic twelves out there, such as the Cosworth unit supplied to the T.50, Hartley’s engine uses a Hot V layout, with the exhaust headers sitting between the cylinder heads to help both performance and packaging. It also runs an 80-degree bank angle, and the Nilu’s fully exposed engine bay lets heat escape more effectively.

var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]};

adpushup.que.push(function() {

if (adpushup.config.platform === "DESKTOP"){

adpushup.triggerAd("ea4d4b5a-f8e5-4d5d-9d9a-53a3b956b6cd");

} else{

adpushup.triggerAd("44c0a4dc-e25b-4ba5-ac64-2c510461b92a");

}

});

A Driver-Focused Hypercar

“This is the moment theory became reality,” Selipanov noted. “By firing up this stunning V12 we didn’t only prove our engineering capabilities, we delivered the soul of the NILU. As most of the automotive world embraces digital and electric sterility, we’ve doubled down on the raw, visceral drama of high RPM, naturally aspirated internal combustion. The Nilu27/Hartley V12 will make our hypercar truly timeless.”

Making the Nilu hypercar all the more desirable is the fact it will be mated exclusively to a seven-speed manual transmission driving the rear wheels. With the first round of testing complete, the engine will soon leave New Zealand and head to Nilu27’s production facility in Germany, where it will be installed in the company’s first driving prototype. It’s also been confirmed that the two companies will finalize a joint venture to create other high-performance, road-certified engines.

Initial plans call for the Nilu to launch as just 15 track-only units, after which the company shifts its attention to a street-legal version capped at 54 examples.

Telco outlines reasons for network failure that hit mobiles, trains and retailers ahead of appearance at Senate inquiry

Telstra has blamed the lack of a software update for a key time-keeping system for outage that caused nationwide chaos last week, with its maintenance teams also unaware of a design change that affected how it would reset.

Ahead of an appearance by its chief executive, Vicki Brady, at a Senate inquiry into the mobile outage on Friday, Telstra provided a written submission that revealed the cause. In it, the company stated it did not lack redundancy in its network – but that such redundancy did not prevent the outage.
