A new company out of Las Vegas, called PSC Motors, is seeking dominance against the likes of Bugatti and Koenigsegg, with a 2,400-horsepower hybrid hypercar called the SP-200. It might need a catchier name, but PSC says it will to 0-60 in 2.6 seconds and have a top speed of 280 mph.
“When this project was started five years ago, we wanted to do something new, something special that can pay tribute to some of the world’s fastest cars,” PSC Motors CEO Antonio Calva said in a recent statement. “Nobody needs 1,000 horsepower, so we gave it more,”
A mid-mounted, 9.0-liter, twin-turbo V-8 will feed power to the rear wheels through an eight-speed, dual-clutch transmission. PSC hasn’t specified if either of these components are built in-house or sourced from elsewhere, but we aren’t aware of many companies building 9.0-liter V8s. The massive V-8 will be supplemented by a hybrid system on the rear-axle, which will also provide an electric-only range of 60 miles.
Going from these renders, the SP-200 will have sleek, well-proportioned shape. At 14.4 feet long and 6.5 feet wide, the SP-200 won’t exactly be compact, but carbon fiber and aluminum will be used throughout to keep weight under 3,100 pounds.
Production starts sometime in 2016 and will be limited to just 35 units.
