I met Sasha at an event and spoke to him, didn't know who he was, which was actually very cool, because at no point did he flex, just a nice car guy. I wish him every success. I'm doing something similar with s600 engine and a 6 speed manual. Love the easter eggs hidden in this car!
lol we've seen like 1000 different variatoins of some v12 manual no screens overpriced hypercar blah blah blah at this point its hardly anything special
While I appreciate simplicity, super cars have zero rearward visibility, and side mirrors aren't that helpful. Having cameras and a screen for those functions is necessary. Especially is in a busy city centre and if you need to park in a public space.
As an artist designer in the car industry, making a name that will be known for years and not be forgotten or lost in a big car company can only be done by creating a car from a to z on his own with no restrictions. Enzo, Ferrucio, Gordon, Horatio, Christian,... Didn't know Sasha worked on the Koenigsegg or Bugatti. Now I will remember he did the Nilu. Hope his project will go through and be successful. Who was saying V12 atmo is a dying breed lol?
Turns out the V10 became a dying breed (even though it was a rare one to begin with and perhaps one the most recent powertrain that became relevant) meanwhile the V12 is seeing tons of projects and new startup cars boasting it, like a counter revolution movement against the electrification push.
Salute to Sasha for being a pure enthusiast. I can see why he had so many friends in higher up places and the right backers to fulfill his dream. Sometimes, you'll see people that deserve it. He's genuinely passionate. I cant imagine the kind of money it takes to find R&D and design such a bespoke ground up project from a start-up into fruition.
Absolutely stunning. The glass cabin gives a Pininfarina P4/5 vibe, the NACA duct gives a Countach vibe, the wheels and the shifter gives a Ken Block vibe, the engine/exhaust packaging gives a 60s Formula 1 vibe. What other influences do ya'll see?
Now without having seen it actually drive, it’s certainly one of the best looking cars if not best looking cars to have ever been made. Hopefully it lives up to how it looks and the supposed specs bc this thing is truly amazing with all those racing cues which you have nicely pointed out! I’m a really picky person when it comes to liking cars but Shasha and co really just hit every aspect perfectly basically making what every driver wants in a car.
GT 40 crazy snakes and tube frame glances from the rear 6:59 , and a bit of C3 'vette front end and arches shape ( 5:07 distorted by the gaping vents lol) so a lot of late 60's/early '70s motor sport actually, even the naca ducts are around from then. I love this car, being a product of that era too lol but it is wildly futuristic at the same glance.
I love how he is able to explain the exact purpose of every decision on this car, really shows how much this means to him, that guy seems like an absolute legend
I love this SOOOO much! It all made sense to me when I found out that Sasha designed the Huracan. Am on the lookout for this thing actually driving, can’t wait. I really hope these guys are successful.
I really like Sasha's entire ethos with this car. Keeping it all about the driver's experience behind the wheel, with nothing inhibiting them from getting the most out if it relative to their skill set. I also like how familiar and unique the design is at the same time. We can see the influences, but Sasha put his twist on it to make it look & feel fresh. You can also feel his passion for the car. The "labor of love" if you will. Very reminiscent of listening to the likes of Christian von Koenigsegg and Gordon Murray talk about their cars. Guys that want to keep the emotional side alive in these cars. He built an incredible machine!
@cliveargyle5237 it means kiwis are doing well and hard work pays. I was congratulating our countryman on their engine build. They are making headway into the super car arena. A great achievement for a small company from a small country to small-minded person such as yourself.
Looks beautiful, love the lines. How these people can make something new that has both classic lines but also a modern twist whilst still making everything look like it is meant to be that way simply astounds me. Nilu 27 is a strange name but i bet it will be one that grows on us all.
Might be my new favourite car! I felt like the automotive industry has been lacking cars that center around the driver and offer an analog driving experience so its really exciting that Sasha is able to bring back this type of car back into the world!
Shmee150 Absolutely Incredible Video I think the All New Nilu27 looks absolutely incredible and I think it's awesome that Sasha and Nelson told everything about it and I hope you'll get a chance to drive one someday
I really enjoyed this video. I love the design of the Nilu27, I love that it has a manual gearbox and the exposed exhaust pipes reminding me of the old F1 cars with a nice and nostalgic smile, I'm looking forward to hearing how it sounds
Wow. I love each and every detail. Supercool car. 😊👍Salute to Sasha for creating this car. I hope Shmee gets to drive NILU27 in the future and share his crisp opinion. Awesome wholesome video Shmee. Cheeeers 👍
A car that would take me back to my early driving years, the cars I drove to start had no booster on the brakes no power steering no computers yet we drove them all year round and controlled the power with our feet.
Love everything about it. I'll never own one, but damn it's a real sports car. Who doesn't like that. Can't wait for the drive reviews. Well done as always Tim, high fives for the whole crew.
All of us sim racers and dreamers of Forza Motorsport and Gran Turismo will be waiting in anticipation, I am definitely one, beautiful car made the way they should be, raw and exhilarating to drive, envious of those that get to experience it in the flesh physically and an engine from a part of New Zealand where I live is meke as, we pride ourselves on our ingenuity, kiwi ingenuity at its best on the worlds stage, we have a saying "WORLD FAMOUS IN NEW ZEALAND!!"
Love everything about this except those funny little hinge clips on the roof. I get they're to do with safety, but it's hard to believe that's the most elegant solution they could come up with.
Now that's a car!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 That's badass. No video games with that one.. That's ultra sick!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 That's exactly what I don't like about new cars, they don't convey the driving experience or how the car is feeling the road.. especially through the steering wheel.. Electric steering sucks...
For a first car this is a tremendous effort inside and out. The front has a good look , the side profile and wheels are pure racer but it's the back (tail- lights , exhaust , shapes ) reminds me of a cartoon character face...1070hp v12 , manual , even the interior is tasteful......Decent !
Lovely looking car , but personally for me i would have chosen another colour it doesn't really flatter the car .. love the rear cut out for the engine, but personally i would have had the engine under a clear glass or plastic cover so you could see it and it kept the dirt and road mess off it.
I appreciate this guy very much. He brought back a lost hope of a world in which drivers and cars still have a close relationship. This is a person that loves his job so much that the result will be equally loved by the rest of the world. A V12, rear wheel driven, naturally aspirated hypercar with a manual transmission AND analogic gauge cluster in 2024 is a dream coming true for me 🥹
That is the best car I have seen and everything about it from the name to the engine bravo that to me is the best car to be unveiled in heck I would say the F40 in terms of raw and radical
Sasha Whoiveknownnformanyyears is a weird name. Is it Swedish?
I see what you did there 🤣🤣
Could be, we may never know!
Whoheknowsformanyyearsbutyouneverknow
Sounds Israeli
Best comment.

Manual gearbox and no stupid screens everywhere, this guy knows how to build a car!
His analogy with not wanting more calories, since we're full, but rather want a good experience or quality was quite wise and clear minded.

Same stupid talking point from fools that can't afford the damn car
Looks like an unlicensed supercar out of GTA. A lot of inspiration from various cars. Especially in the rear. Engine bay is a work of art though.
engine bay looks like it came straight out of 60s era F1, nothing can rival the degree of insanity this side of group b.
He designed those cars you speak of.
With the engine bay quite open and red interior, plus bubble like canopy, screams Peugeot Quasar from the 80s

Who was saying V12 atmo is a dying breed lol?
Clarkson back in 09 I I believe it was, stating that the Aventador would probably be the last V12 supercar lol
did hurracan also

The back gives my a Pagani vibe. Very nice looking car the rest needs to be determined though. Hopefully it’s as badass as it looks.
Awesome and great shout out to Nelson for one of his incredibly built engines. Love the pure and uncluttered design. Cheers from New Zealand
Leaving Koenigsegg is a big deal! But Sasha has one of the best CVs out there!🔥
Whats a CV?
@@Hess27Work history.
@@yamahass66 no, that's W.H. haha
Creative Vision?
I've been following Sasha's work for a while, and seeing this come to fruition is just so cool. Really impressive stuff all around.
I love how he is able to explain the exact purpose of every decision on this car, really shows how much this means to him, that guy seems like an absolute legend
Just because the pratt reads all the info about the car before his vids doesn't make him a legend
@@kingpegg wasn't talking about Shmee here but the guy who designed the car
He sounds like Gordon Murray when he talks about the driver experience first. We need more cars like this.

Kiwis killing it. Go brooo! Palmy hard!!

@@Manup2day making way is hardly killing it!! This small mind used to live there, but got very tired of the smokers, drunks and empty bragging!!
“ Aotearoa!”Go Nelson! Awesome work Bruu!!💪🔥🇳🇿😎
Hartley Engineering based in Palmerston North ❤
It’s difficult to put into words the beauty of this amazing car other than to say poetry in motion.
Stark white is so bold but it works fantastically.

Agreed, driver experience and engagement is more important than hp numbers
😎👍
Amazing achievement 👏🙌👏
I've seen uploads of this car in the past couple of days. But I was waiting for your video to drop. Great video.
it is BEAUTIFUL, and the white on white looks like something made out of ceramic, i love it it is so beautiful
The design wow! I saw Manny Khoshbin liking the pictures, so I hope he's buying one
I really enjoyed this video. I love the design of the Nilu27, I love that it has a manual gearbox and the exposed exhaust pipes reminding me of the old F1 cars with a nice and nostalgic smile, I'm looking forward to hearing how it sounds

Love the retro futuristic design. He's got this absolutely spot on. 👌
Just an absolutely beautiful machine. I do hope the road version has headlights. I think the front end would look better with them.
Respect a man who works hard to follow up his dream. Even better with the wife along for that dream. Great stuff.
SHMEE!! I wish I could have met you at the Concours! Hope you are there next year!
I'm immediately in love lol
V12 plus three pedals = joy
that would be my lotto win selection, looks incredible and the genius behind it seems like a decent down to earth guy.
less tech = more fun
They are going to like the product %100! I’ll take two!
Love the brake caliper shapes and sculpture.
I'm not usually the biggest fan of random start up hypercars etc but that thing looks really good.
Those seats! 🔥
02:27 The perfect explanation/definition of the car! And what a supercar should be
This is really fantastic. He and his team should feel proud.
Perfect timing...kudos to the builder..seeing this beauty made me excited...performance cars have been so boring past 10 years....nilu is exciting
New dream car right here
A car that would take me back to my early driving years, the cars I drove to start had no booster on the brakes no power steering no computers yet we drove them all year round and controlled the power with our feet.
Design taste is beyond excellent. Thank you
I met Sasha at car week. Super nice guy!
This guy is a real car guy. It's a masterpiece
He speaks like a natural leader and entrepreneur. He will go far.
That thing looks awesome. Like this guys attitude too. Hope to see a road test soon
Looks like something Speed Racer would drive🤔.. got that retro futuristic vibe... absolutely love it!
There’s always room for more Hyper Cars… Beautiful car…
yeah i like this auto already, so cool shape not overdone ,orders will come flying in i wish one was mine
Love everything about that car. So cool. And love his vibe. Dreams do come true. Good for him!
Love everything about it. I'll never own one, but damn it's a real sports car. Who doesn't like that. Can't wait for the drive reviews. Well done as always Tim, high fives for the whole crew.
Now that’s a car to get excited about.
LOL 😂
Just love this car. Would have really liked to have heard it. Thanks Tim for posting.
Glad to learn the inspiration behind the name _ absolutely amazing
1:00 is that imkay in the background 😂
Yes 😂😂😂 it is.

You get a nice EGT cooling when it's raining lol Can't wait to see the street-legal version.
Looks and sounds like a mad project. Can’t wait to see more.
Cant wait to see what this could look like in other color schemes/patterns. The white on white on white on white is a lot to process visually.
Quite a project! Cool looking car and great passion behind it 🌟
Nice, didn't know Ant Middleton also made cars. Top top guy indeed
Love the return to manual transmissions for these hyper cars
Truly stunning car and it would look epic sat in the halo bay
That car is amazing to look at. Wow!!
Welcome for the 198t like and thanks for the vid:)
Less than a minute is crazy
Welcome and thanks for the early view
This car deserves to be made!!!
My favorite hypercar by far i love the gated v 12
Nice video thanks so much for sharing ❤❤
Love it and I want to hear that engine fire up! 👍🏼👍🏼
I’m not sold on the front end, but that rear is a work of art.
I felt the same
Now that's a car!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 That's badass. No video games with that one.. That's ultra sick!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 That's exactly what I don't like about new cars, they don't convey the driving experience or how the car is feeling the road.. especially through the steering wheel.. Electric steering sucks...

Im sold on this! Stunning design and will easily stand the trst of time thanks to the lack of cabin tech

Now he's a billionaire 👌✨ genius 💫
9:06 damn that interior is sick 🔥👹🔥 straight lava floww
Those wheels are so sick!

Remember when shmee uploaded numerous times in a day during events like car week I miss those days that’s a lot of work tho so I understand
Looks awesome!!
Great tribute to Gilles!
Gorgeous...
absolutely gorgeous!!
Hey Shmee, out of all the cars you've been in which one would you say is the most extreme in terms of speed and general craziness?
performance base on the driver..... can't be more 27 Gilles Villeneuve vibe!!!
Looks like it could fall apart any time
I am a huge fan of this thing !
A true enthusiasts car
That is the best car I have seen and everything about it from the name to the engine bravo that to me is the best car to be unveiled in heck I would say the F40 in terms of raw and radical
What a gorgeous looking car! So many hyper-cars look strange...
The Countach mark on lower side is a call back to Lamborghini.
I thought it would be a call
Back to the Chevrolet Countach.
really really want Nilu27 to succeed
This Car's Engine is great but Czinger skeleton chassis is amazing
