Devel Sixteen Claims 5,000 HP, 348-MPH Top Speed
BY Stephen Edelstein

Not, it's not April Fool's Day, although it might be a bit foolish to think of this supercar as anything but vaporware. The Devel Sixteen was unveiled at the 2013 Dubai Motor Show with the promise of 5,000 horsepower from a sixteen-cylinder engine. That's the power of roughly four Bugatti Veyron Super Sports, and they each have four turbochargers attached to their W-16s.

With so much more power, one would expect the Devel Sixteen to be much faster than the Veyron, and it is, according to Defining Extreme Vehicles Car Industry L.L.C., the Dubai based-company that designed it. Performance figures include a 0 to 60 mph time of 1.8 seconds, and a top speed of 348 mph.

What isn't being quoted is a price, or an on sale date. That's probably just as well. Like a lot of upstart supercars, the Devel Sixteen is really nothing but a collection of hilarious figures. Actually building it would ruin the fun, and is most likely beyond the capability of anyone, even a company called Defining Extreme Vehicles.

Also, if this car made it to showrooms, innocent bystanders might have to look at it. As this video from supercar spotter Shmee150 (via World Car Fans) reveals, the styling appears to be a random combination of cues from the Lamborghini Egoista, Pagani Zonda, and the Batmobile. As cool as that sounds, its doesn't make for a good-looking car.

So if you want to exceed 300 mph, you're better off lashing four Veyron Super Sports to a chariot.

love how tiny the brakes are for a 5000 bhp car. and that interior is a joke.
under the engine cover is probably an I4 just to move the prototype around.

The Veyron looks like a piece of poo. Seen one in person. The Devel is just a mockup and is not a real car that's whats bullshit.
