![]() ![]() Think the Chiron is powerful by having 1,500 horsepower at its disposal? Well, Devel claims the Sixteen has 5,007 horsepower. It’s too early to say if the Sixteen has that potential, but the numbers being thrown around by Devel are completely unheard of. MAT is the same company that helped Glickenhaus with its 003 and Apollo with its Intensa Emozione, and is currently working with Janarelly on production of that's company's Design-1 sports car.It only takes one look at the car before you realize that you’re looking at a machine that could revolutionize the supercar/hypercar segment the same way cars like the McLaren F1 and the Ferrari F40 did two decades ago. The company reportedly lost its initial partner, Manufattura Automobili Torino (MAT), before any real development was done. A scathing report by Road & Track in 2018 pegged the Sixteen as nearly dead in the water. These are good signs as the last we heard, the project had hit some major hurdles. Reminding us that the project isn't dead, Devel has posted new videos to its YouTube page showing what's claimed to be a production-ready version of the Sixteen undergoing road and track testing in Italy, where the bulk of the development is being handled. The Devel Sixteen is one of those cars that seems destined to forever be vaporware.ĭubai-based Devel announced to the world as early as 2013 that it planned to produce the wildly styled hypercar with a 12.3-liter quad-turbocharged V-16 but alas, here we are, nine years later, and Devel’s promise of a Bugatti-toppling machine has yet to come to fruition. ![]()
