Going to 11 with Sasha Selipanov and his Nilu 27 Hypercar
Manage episode 504560450 series 3682534
Sasha Selipanov is the automotive designer behind many of your favorite modern supercars and hypercars including the Lamborghini Huracan, the Koenigsegg Gemera and the Bugatti Chiron. We talk about what makes a car great, why the Germans are sometimes scared of their own shadow, why Freeman Thomas’ original Audi TT was so good and why the company’s new Concept C is a return to form. Of course we also go deep on Sasha’s current project—his Nilu 27 hypercar—and why we think it’s the most exciting hypercar in a long time. Here’s a hint... it’s got a V12 that goes to 11 and a gated manual transmission. This is a good one, and Sasha’s story of growing up in a Soviet republic to creating some of the most iconic enthusiast cars of our day is a great one. It’s also a reminder to get off your ass and go do something with your life. It’s That Car Show.
