Devel Sixteen “Made in Dubai” fantasy supercar on video
We missed out on covering this, well, “thing” during the Dubai Motor Show, but figured we should at least give it some column inches, if only because it is intended to grab headlines. This here is the Devel Sixteen, with a “Made in Dubai” tag and a claim of 5000 horses!
The Devel Sixteen is a supercar concept, with imaginary figures attached to it, such as a 5000 hp quad-turbo V16 engine, a 0-100 kph time of 1.8 seconds, and a top speed of only 560 kph. The interesting part is that the concept actually runs, although it is unknown what’s really powering the display car under that skin.
But there’s more! The makers say the car’s been in secret development since 2006! And it’s a prototype aimed at breaking records! And it will go into production in 16 months! Of course, it’s mysteriously popped up just before the Expo 2020 vote, alongside those Dubai Police supercars. But if a Dubai-based company building their first hypercar — 5 times more powerful than a Bugatti and faster than what any current tyres can handle — actually manages to do so by 2015, then the next Dubai Motor Show will be a much more interesting event.

As fantastic as it sounds, I’d love to know how it’s going to stop with those tiny brakes…

Isn’t that the by-lane of the jumeirah beach park water station…..which is after the beach park….it’s being doing speeds of 50km/hr……waiting to see the acclaimed 560km/hr top speed on a straight line track….

I want to know how they plan to churn out the proposed 5000HP.
Senior engineers from bugatti,ferrar and lamborghini can learn something from dubai.
I feel dubai will start selling cars to italy once they release the “DEVEL” soon.
