A new company out of Las Vegas, called PSC Motors,
is seeking dominance against the likes of Bugatti and Koenigsegg, with a
2,400-horsepower hybrid hypercar called the SP-200. PSC says it will to 0-60 mph in 2.6 seconds and have a top speed of 280
mph.
A mid-mounted, 9.0-liter, twin-turbo V-8 will feed
power to the rear wheels through an eight-speed, dual-clutch transmission. PSC
hasn’t specified if either of these components are built in-house or sourced
from elsewhere, but we aren’t aware of many companies building 9.0-liter V8s.
The massive V-8 will be supplemented by a hybrid system on the rear-axle, which
will also provide an electric-only range of 60 miles.
Going from these renders, the SP-200 will have
sleek, well-proportioned shape. At 14.4 feet long and 6.5 feet wide, the SP-200
won’t exactly be compact, but carbon fiber and aluminum will be used throughout
to keep weight under 3,100 pounds.
