3000-HP seems like overkill, but that's not why this car is worth soo much.

A new supercar has been revealed.

Simply put, the specs and numbers are truly out of this world. The values for each of these various specs are truly astronomical, belonging to a whole new dimension of performance. The Chaos is said to be cranking out over 3,000 HP, which if true, will humiliate the best of modern supercars.

Rough, jagged lines and a sleek, sexy silver exterior resemble an intergalactic attack vehicle from a science fiction movie more than a conventional track vehicle.

The aggressive stance and performance pay homage to a vast heritage of monsters from Greek mythology, revealing that this newest supercar is indeed manufactured in Greece. Aptly named Chaos, this menacing monster was created by Spyros Panopoulos Automotive, founded in 2019 by Spyros Panopoulos.

Let's go on to examine the Spyros Panopoulos Automotive Chaos supercar, marveling at its specs as it ushers in a new dimension of performance.

Power is the name of the game. The Chaos is designed with one purpose and one purpose only; power and lots of it.

The Chaos comes in two different configurations: the earth version and the zero-gravity version. Fundamentally, both will house a very similar twin-turbo 4.0-Liter V10, however, the specific makeup of the powerplant and the consequent performance are dramatically different. The 4.0-Liter V10 in the earth version is built on a billet aluminum engine block, titanium connecting rods, and titanium pistons with two 68mm carbon turbos. This 'base' setup creates 2,048 HP and 1024 lb-ft of torque, allowing for a blisteringly quick 0-60 MPH time of 1.9 seconds and an 8.1 quarter mile. Power will be sent to all four wheels (36-65 split) via an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

Now that you are reeling from these specs, unable to comprehend the performance of such a beast, let's look at the zero-gravity version of the Chaos which takes things to a whole new level.

The zero-gravity version features much the same powerplant, transmission, and all-wheel drive, however, its engine is built using radically different components allowing for massive power increase and reduced weight, leading to a new world of performance. The 4.0-Liter engine block is made from a magnesium alloy, with carbon fiber connecting rods and pistons to go alongside two 78mm carbon turbos. These changes are set to increase the redline to 12,000 rpm, power to 3,064 HP, and torque value to 1,462 lb-ft. Admittedly, there will be some form of hybrid assistance system to help reach the 3,000 horsepower, however, its details and specs remain undisclosed.

Dropping the weight to 2804 lbs from the standard 2839 lbs of the earth version, acceleration figures experience significant increases as well. Hitting 60 MPH from a standstill will only require 1.55 seconds and the quarter-mile will be complete in just 7.5 seconds. To put this into perspective, the fastest quarter-mile recorded to date was completed by the Rimac Nevera in just 8.582 seconds, which is just over a whole second slower than the zero-gravity version of the Chaos promises to be.

Furthermore, according to Motor1, the Chaos will attempt to break any and every existing speed record, targeting records like the Porsche hybrid 919 EVO's fastest lap at Nurburgring and the highest top speeds set so far in particular. However, testing will prove just how many of these records will be broken.

RELATED: These Hypercars Have The Highest Top Speeds

One of the biggest reasons for the Chaos' astronomical performance is its advanced design and utilization of cutting-edge materials.

The vast majority, 78%, of the chassis of the car has been 3D printed, rather than built using traditional methods such as casting, forging, or welding. Furthermore, the primary material used in the car is Zylon, an advanced man-made fiber that is stronger and lighter than carbon fiber. This material is currently used in aeronautical construction and F1 racing. The chassis of the car is arranged in a monocoque form, with a variety of titanium/magnesium alloys, carbon fiber, and Kevlar supplementing the Zylon to maximize strength while keeping the weight down. Additionally, the roof will be made from an amorphous metal dubbed SAM2X5-630 which has the highest elastic limit of any material, yet still stays hard. This in turn promotes aerodynamics as well, as the material is flexible enough to accommodate the differences in pressure due to extremely high speeds.

The wheels, wheel hubs, rotor hubs, and wishbone suspensions are also all 3D printed as well, utilizing either a titanium or magnesium composite in the earth version. The zero-gravity version maintains the same setup but increases the size of the carbon-ceramic ventilated and cross-drilled disk brakes from 422mm to 452mm in the front and 416mm to 426mm in the rear. This provides the Chaos with insane stopping power to allow the driver to handle every last bit of power.

Lastly, the exhaust tips, intake, and exhaust manifolds utilize either carbon fiber or Inconel (another superalloy) to keep weight down while dealing with extreme force and heat.

So with all these advanced features and next-level performance what is there to consider?

The first thing to note is that while the car has been revealed, track tests have not yet been completed, and existing information is based on virtual testing. However, Greek City Times has stated that the car will be tested on the British TV Show TopGear meaning that real information might be available sooner than anticipated.

Additionally, the price tag is another key thing to consider. The zero gravity variant is set to retail for $14.4 Million, while the earth version will retail for a comparatively cheap $6.4 Million. However, if the testing validates the specs quoted, these price tags might be completely justified.
