If R200m+ for a hard-to-pronounce ‘ultracar’ sounds like your kind of poison…

‘Chaos’ is its actual name and there is no better way of describing what an astonishing 2,285 kW could do.

In this case, a Greek automaker that goes by the name of Spyros Panopoulos or SP Automotive has unveiled its ultracar that carries the Chaos name and besides the power output, it is the $14.4 million (R217,000,000) price tag that caught our attention. 

The Chaos ultra car is offered in two flavours; Earth Version and Zero Gravity. 

At the heart of the SP Chaos is a hybridised twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V10 engine that supposedly gushes out 2,285 kW and 1,984 Nm of torque. That’s enough to catapult the Chaos from a standstill to 100 km/h in 1.5 seconds with the top speed kicking in at over 500 km/h while a 0-300 km/h sprint is achieved in 7.1 seconds…that’s chaotic! 

If you think that is too fast for your liking, the lesser Earth Version makes 1,527 kW and 1,389 Nm produced by a slightly detuned V10 unit with no hybrid system on sight. It is slapped with a $6.4m (R96,500,000) price tag. 

The transmission comes courtesy of a dual-clutch unit that sends power to all four corners via a standard all-wheel-drive system. The stopping prowess is provided by 428 mm Carbon Ceramic brake discs at the front and 416 mm at the back. It rides on a set of 22” 3D-printed wheels. 

According to SP Automotive, the Chaos will try to break nearly every speed record as well as attempt to beat Porsche’s Nürburgring record of 6:43:30 set by the 911 GT2 RS.

The Greek automaker wants to make 15 to 20 Chaos models per year but that could change depending on demand.
