It’s a bit silent here, don’t you think? And slow - so… normal. Let’s change it
#Hypera Niddhogg
Projekt Ragnarok finally unveiled
This year is very important for us - this year the last of Hypera’s founders retired from company. Ragnar Svendsen - company’s founder, legend and main engineer for the last 29 years, the man that ensured Hypera’s position amongst the other supercar makers. The man who never accepted half measures. The man whose ambition to reach the impossible shaped most of Hypera’s cars - including the latest one, his last and finest project, company’s flagship - the Niddhogg.
This monster is powered by lonitidunally mounted third generation Asgard X unit - 4.6l crossplane V8. Magnesium block, AlSi heads - everything lightweight and top quality, but all that is needed for revving up to 9100rpm and enduring tremendous 1130hp. All that power is distributed for all four wheels through 6-speed manual and electronic limited slip differentials.
Effect? Light and aerodynamical all carbon fiber body is catapulted from 0 to 100 in just 2.3 seconds. Add immense grip and downforce, brakes almost as effective as a concrete wall, pushrod suspension made possibly of runestone and you get this:
- 373km/h top speed
- mentioned 2.3s 0-100 time
- braking from 100 to 0 in 26.8 metres
- quarter mile in 8.94s
- Nurburgring in 6:44.54
- TG track in 1:06.30
- and unfortunately no time yet from our own track since there are unexpected delays in its restoration
And now, probably the most surprising thing, and a mark of new times - fuel economy. The car has two modes, Standard (that sporty stats above) and Eco. But not like what you may fear, it doesn’t turn off half the cylinders nor runs on some fancy tuned washing machine electric motor. Hey, we are Hypera! We do “eco” our way With the magic of turbos, of course - in Eco mode boost pressure drops from 3.0 Bar to 1.0 Bar, few other engine settings change, and fuel consumption drops from about 32l/100km to just under 10l. In this mode also power distribution settings change, so the car becomes very tame and easy to drive. And don’t fear about power loss - it still is reasonably high being 620hp, so the car still will be very fast. Some stats for comparison:
- 316km/h top speed
- 3.1s of 0-100 time
- quarter mile in 10.50s
It all can be yours if you wish to pay 388 000$ and be quick enough to order one, since we will be making only 999 of them (99 were already pre-sold) in all variants - Niddhogg R shown above, a bit comfortable Niddhogg GT and a bit less-powered S (both coming soon, so stay tuned).
Special thanks to @Deskyx for suggesting me sth that made this car as good as it is and for @PottoGadd for suggesting Opeth - I fine-tuned the Niddhogg listening their music mostly
