Say Hello To The SPA Chaos: A 3,000-HP, 3D-Printed Ultracar

You may have heard aboutSpyros Panapoulos Automotive(SPA) before. It made the news a few times in 2020 before things went quiet for a while, but now it's back.

The Spyros Panapoulos Automotive Chaos was scheduled to debut at the 2021 Geneva Motor Show, but that never happened. Considering that this is a small startup that likely had a lot riding on the exposure it would have got had the show gone ahead, it's no surprise that the company has been dormant.

Now SPA has announced its revival on Facebook with a post that includes several images of the Chaos, all computer-generated. Commenters called SPA out on this, but CGI images often highlight certain features that are impossible to capture on camera. unfortunately, the post doesn't reveal much other than the fact that only 20 units of the Chaos will be built and that models will be made available on every continent.

SPA does make some bold claims in the post, however. It claims the Chaos accelerates like an F1 car, making its most apparent rival the upcoming梅赛德斯amg一.

SPA also says that it can reach 0-62, 0-124, and 0-186 mph faster than any other vehicle ever made, on both four and two wheels. It also states the Chaos has the best aerodynamic design ever applied to a car. The Chaos can also sense the mood of the driver and change its behavior accordingly. We guess that means that if the driver isn't feeling particularly chaotic, the power output will be limited to 500 horsepower. If the car recognizes suicidal tendencies, however, it will unleash the full 3,000 hp.

Beyond this, we already know that much of the car is 3D printed,including the titanium wheels.
