Las Vegas-based American car firm PSC Motors is working under 1,700 HP hypercar SP-200 SIN.

All-new mid-engined, rear-wheel drive hypercar will be powered by a 9.0-litre V8 petrol engine, which is mated to an electric motor at the rear axle. Total combined output is claimed to be 1,700 horsepower.

Paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, PSC says the SP-200 SIN will accelerate from 0-62mph(0-t0-100km/h) in 2.8sec and will have a top speed in excess of amazing 280mph (450km/h). Nevertheless, it has a claimed electric-only range of 30 miles.

Vehicle dimensions

Measuring 4.4 metres long, 2m wide and 1.1m high, the American firm says the SP200-SIN has been geared towards high performance and lightweight design. Its body is constructed from carbonfibre composite and aluminium, and it’s claimed to tip the scales at 1400kg.

Limited edition vehicle

PSC Motors chief executive officer Antonio Calva says the company has Porsche,Ferarri, McLaren and Koenigsegg in its crosshairs with this hypercar and will limit production to 35 examples.

“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.Nobody needs 1000 horsepower, so we gave it more,” -  he said.

Production

Antonio Calva has confirmed that production will begin in 2016 following a full preview of the car by PSC Motors on 1 June.

Well, let's wait first of June to get more information.

Not that much time is left.
