Nilu27, the new brand formed by ex-Bugatti and Koenigsegg designer Sasha Selipanov, has released several new teasers of the new hypercar that will premiere during Monterey Car Week on August 15.

The new car was first teased in late May, but fresh photos of the car provide us with some spicy new details. Perhaps the most intriguing of all the teasers is a brief clip that previews the tachometer.

We can see that it runs counterclockwise and goes all the way to 13,000 rpm with a redline, which appears to cap out at 11,000 rpm, although it may go as high as 12,000 rpm. We don’t know how many cylinders the car will have, but some suspect it’ll have a V12.

A new image also shows the rear of the car in full with its gullwing doors open. It shares some similarities to the Pagani Utopia and features a carbon fiber diffuser suspended by two struts attached to bodywork just before the simple LED taillights. The massive rear wheels are on full display and we’re also provided with an exposed view of the suspension components, the twin rear wing, and the trio of tailpipes exiting from the center of the car,

Selipanov has designed a set of gullwing doors for the supercar. A preview of the interior reveals thick sills, abundant carbon fiber, and numerous red accents. Additionally, a sizable shifter is visible, though it remains unclear whether it is for a manual gearbox or an automatic.

A separate teaser video shows one of the rear wheels, revealing a five-spoke design painted white and a set of Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires measuring 325/30 ZR21.

The name ‘Nilu’ is a combination of Nica and Lucia, the daughters of Selipanov, while the ‘27’ refers to the racing number of Grilles Villeneuve and other legendary F1 drivers, including Nigel Mansell, Ayrton Senna, and Alain Prost.
