A small Austrian car company called Milan Automotive
wants to rival the big boys in the hypercar segment, such as Koenigsegg and
Bugatti. And they’re planning to do so with the Red, an exotic model that’s
powered by a quad-turbocharged 6.2-liter V8 engine that feeds 1,325 PS and 1,400 Nm oof torque to the rear wheels through a
dual-clutch seven-speed automatic transmission.
Milan Automotive says the Red can run to 100 km/h in 2.47 sec, or about the same as the Bugatti Chiron. As for the 0 to
200 km/h and 0-300 km/h, these take 5.46 sec and 9.98 sec,
respectively. Top speed stands at in excess of 400 km/h, and the
Austrian car firm claims the Red is capable of lateral accelerations of 2.6G.
The Milan Red is 4,741 mm long, 1,197 mm tall and 2,156 mm wide, with a wheelbase of 2,750 mm.
It has a curb weight of 1,300 kg, a carbon fiber monocoque and carbon
fiber-made panels. The rear wing acts as an air brake and stopping power is provided by
the carbon ceramic brakes made by Brembo, 390 mm front and 380 mm rear, with 6 and 4 piston calipers, respectively.
Going over speed bumps should be fairly easy, given
the lifted ground clearance of 135 mm (normal – 90 mm), and the
Milan Red has CFRP double wishbone suspension, with 3 spring-damper system and
adjustable anti-roll bar at both ends. Milan will only make 99 units of
the hypercar, and 18 have already been spoken for, despite the pricing that’s
believed to start at some € 2 million locally (US$ 2.33 million).
