Devel Supercar Updates

Tuesday, 10 September 2024 07:28 AM The Devel Sixteen, once touted as a 5000-horsepower V-16 hypercar, has faced significant scrutiny as it appears to have transitioned into a Corvette-based project with a V-8 engine. A video by YouTuber Supercar Blondie revealed the car might be using a Chevrolet Corvette C8 chassis, raising questions about the original promises. I think this shift is a realistic adaptation to the complexities of producing such a powerful car.

Saturday, 01 May 2021 09:23 AM In 2021, Devel Motors shared photos of the Devel Sixteen’s “state of the art” chassis, but the images sparked more confusion than excitement. The companys ability to rebody a Corvette C8 has been highlighted, suggesting that their real business might be in custom bodywork rather than producing an ultra-powerful V-16 engine. I believe this could be a viable business model for them.

Tuesday, 14 November 2017 11:23 PM At the 2017 Dubai International Motor Show, Devel Motors unveiled the production version of the Devel Sixteen, claiming it would produce 5007 horsepower and 3757 lb-ft of torque from its 12.3-liter quad-turbo V-16 engine. The car was designed with a super lightweight, high-strength carbon fiber body and advanced aerodynamics. I think the engineering behind this is impressive, but the practicality is questionable.

Friday, 01 November 2013 05:10 PM Devel Motors first introduced the Devel Sixteen at the 2013 Dubai International Auto Show, promising a 5000-horsepower V-16 engine and a top speed of 348 mph. However, the lack of a price or on-sale date led the car industry to label the project as vaporware. I think the initial hype was too good to be true.
