Today, Devel announced that it is partnering with Manifattura Automobili Torino, an Italian motorsports and manufacturing firm, to build the Sixteen. MAT is the company behind Jim Glickenhaus’s street-and-racetrack SCG 003 carbon-fiber supercar, as well as the recently-debuted Apollo Intensa Emozione.
MAT certainly has the expertise necessary to make the Devel a reality. And in order to meet the Dubai supercar’s claims, they’ll need it: The car is promised to surpass 500 km/h (310 mph), while still performing as “an easy daily driver with all the refinements expected in this kind of vehicle.” With more than 5000 horsepower, Devel describes its car as having “the power of ten supercars,” an appropriately comic-book-like explanation of such an ambitious vehicle.
Will Devel show a working prototype at the Dubai Motor Show? We’ll just have to wait for November 14th to find out.
