When a new supercar maker uses the term “analog brutality” to describe its first model, it has already made us listen up.

If you then add the fact that the company, Nilu27, was founded by former Koenigsegg design chief Sasha Selipanov, who penned cars like the Gemera and the CC850—and that he believes a big V12 is better than all this electric malarkey—then we think the firm might be on to something really special.

Say hello to the Nilu hypercar, a truly stunning-looking machine due to be unveiled at the upcoming Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.

Not only does it look criminally good with its gullwing doors, open engine bay, and low-slung figure, but it also packs a punch to back up the muscular appearance.

On top of that, it rejects fancy ideas like electric drivetrains or touchscreens in favor of said analog brutality. Purists with deep pockets will probably love this thing.

Let’s start with the engine. Where other hypercar makers deploy complicated hybrid drivetrains, Nilu is betting on a specially made, naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 built by Hartley Engines in New Zealand.

Churning out a mighty 1,070hp at a screaming 11,000rpm—and with a peak torque of 860Nm—it promises an otherworldly driving experience. With the whole car weighing just 1,200kg dry, the engine shouldn’t have any problems propelling the car to its claimed (and electronically limited) top speed of 400km/h.

Power is transferred through a seven-speed manual transmission supplied by CIMA, while Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes are onboard to slow things down again.

Massive 20- and 21-inch forged-aluminum rims wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R rubber give the right grip, while a forged-aluminum alloy double-wishbone pushrod suspension helps with the appropriate handling for this beast.

Inside, proper switches instead of fancy screens catch the eye, and everything looks pretty exquisite. Like a mixture between a fighter jet and elements you may find in a Pagani.

This return to simpler driving pleasures is a welcome trend, and shows that V12-engine sports cars are anything but dead. Nilu is planning an initial run of 15 track-focused cars that will be followed by 54 street-legal versions.
