2,000bhp Trion Nemesis set to shake supercar establishment. America is preparing to enter a new contender into the exclusive hypercar market, in the form of the Trion Nemesis. This striking machine is the work of start-up company Trion Supercars, which claims the Nemesis will boast 2,000bhp – nearly twice as much as the Bugatti Veyron Super Sports, which is currently the worlds fastest road car. The root of this eye-watering power output is a heavily turbocharged 9.0-litre V8 engine, mounted behind the cabin. Claimed performance figures are suitably ludicrous, with a 0-62mph time of 2.8 seconds and a projected top speed of 280mph. Should these claims prove true, the Nemesis will outrun the latest crop of European hypercars, including the 1,322bhp Koenigsegg One:1, which has a top speed of 273mph. The Nemesis isnt just about raw power, however. Like many of its hypercar contemporaries, it is built around a carbonfibre monocoque, with many of the body panels also fashioned from the lightweight wonder-material. It also features F1-style pushrod suspension and active aerodynamics to maximise its handling capabilities. Unlike Americas previous Bugatti challenger, the SSC Ultimate Aero, the Nemesis is four-wheel-drive, to effectively transmit that tyre-shredding power to the Tarmac. An eight-speed sequential manual transmission is fitted as standard, as are huge carbon-ceramic brakes Inside, drivers will find a cabin suitable for taller drivers, which has been kitted out with a digital dashboard and wireless Internet connectivity. Clearly having a particular buyer in mind, Trion has also seen fit to ensure the Nemesis can accommodate a set of golf clubs in the boot. Trion Supercars describes itself as a challenger to European dominance of the prestigious exotic supercar category. However, the Nemesis is some way from becoming a road-going reality, with the first prototype models not expected to be completed until early next year. Eventually, a production run limited to just 50 units is expected, with each sporting a price tag of around $1million (£619,000).
