New hypercars from unknown manufacturers
consistently appear out of nowhere and at last month’s Le Mans 24 Hours, the
latest entrant debuted right under our noses. Beyond the weird decision to
debut the vehicle at Le Mans rather than an auto show, the car in question
comes from a company we bet you’ve never heard of; DSD Design & Motorsport.
That name might not roll off the tongue like Ferrari
or Lamborghini but we can tell you it hails from Spain and is dubbed the Boreas
after the Greek god of the North Wind.
From a design standpoint, the Boreas is certainly
attention-grabbing. It adopts a typical supercar shape and has a front end
dominated by a steeply raked hood, McLaren-inspired carbon fiber air intakes
and a curvaceous windscreen that flows uninterrupted into the roof. The
intriguing design touches then continue at the rear with a carbon fiber wing,
two taillights, a Bugatti Chiron style central LED strip and edgy tailpipes.
No details have been given about what will power the
Boreas but it will allegedly be a hybrid powertrain with more than 1,000 hp on
tap. This should make for a 0-96 km/h time of less than 3 seconds and
a top speed around 379 km/h. Production is expected to start in
December.
