Do you still remember the Boston Dynamics robot Atlas? Standing long jump, backflip, parkour… it’s all there! To do this, in addition to the awesome control algorithm, the lightweight of the robot itself is also very important. And the secret of Atlas’ lightweight is “3D printing“.
Speaking of3D printing, many people will feel very far away, in fact, with the continuous development of this technology, it has been applied to various industries, such as the automotive field.The first car in the world to pass3D printingThe technology-built supercar is called the “DM Blade”, and part of its body is made of3D printingMade of aluminum blocks and carbon fiber tubes, so the body is very light.However, it has not yet been mass-produced.
In addition, BMW has also unveiled a “BMW i8 Roadster”. The biggest highlight of the car is that it is made of aluminum alloy.3D printingmetal convertible soft top bracket, and3D printingWindow rails for lighter weight and better rigidity.This innovative component application also won BMW the 2018 Altair Enlighten Award.
Although3D printingThere have been applications in the automotive field, but due to the complexity of the technology, the cost is high(One3D printing, the price is enough to buy a batch of Wuling Hongguang. )Therefore, there has not been a large area3D printingThe production car was born.
However, now a Greek startup called SP Automotive has done it!
A few days ago, the company launched a model called “Chaos”. As the company’s first super sports car, 90% of the metal parts of the vehicle are made of3D printingManufacturing, the application of a large number of expensive and advanced materials, makes its appearance look extremely gorgeous, and its performance is also very superior, comparable to F1 racing cars!
As a supercar, Chaos’ design level is quite online.
In terms of appearance, the design of the car is quite sci-fi. The front of the car is integrated with the same multi-layer front nose of the F1 car, which has a strong visual impact.The headlights on both sides of the front of the car are integrated with the forwardly extending wheel arches and have LED daytime running lights in a longitudinal layout. The visual effect is very good.
Looking at the side of the body, the low-lying body looks like a dormant beast.The lines are sharp and angular, like the thorns of a hedgehog, full of sharpness.Two large wheels with five-spoke rims, with a bold design, add a touch of nobility to the car.
The tail design is also very unique, the top is3D printingThe center-mounted four-outlet exhaust, the outer ring is wrapped with a bronze-colored heat shield, with a unique design.A large-size double-layer diffuser is integrated below, and the taillights use a dot-matrix light source in a three-spoke scattering layout.The overall sense of hierarchy is strong and very recognizable.
In terms of size, the new car is 5053 mm long, 2068 mm wide and 1121 mm high, and has a wheelbase of 2854 mm. Compared with the general mid-engine supercar, it is a plus size player!
Unlike most supercars today, most of the car’s metal parts are3D printingYes, in addition to the mid-mounted quad exhaust at the rear of the body, there are also engine blocks, connecting rods, intake valves, pistons, etc. The materials cover titanium alloys and magnesium alloys.In addition, the body is made of Zylon composite fiber material, which was developed by Japan’s Toyobo Toyobo Co., Ltd. It is stronger than carbon fiber and has good flame resistance.
For sports cars, every kilogram of weight saved counts.Thanks to these lightweight materials, the Chaos vehicle weighs only 1272kg, which is lighter than the Civic.
Then look at the interior design.
Entering the car, the seats, center console, floor and other parts of the new car are made of large-area carbon fiber material, which makes the lightweight to the extreme.The only space is divided into two independent blocks, equipped with two lightweight racing seats to enhance the driving feeling.
The shape of the steering wheel is very special. It adopts a special-shaped hollow design, similar to the operating lever of a spacecraft, and also has a liquid crystal display that can display the working status of the vehicle.
In addition, the new car is also equipped with software such as a co-driver display screen and CarPlay, and integrates adjustment functions such as entertainment and air conditioning, which play the role of display control.
In addition, in terms of augmented reality technology, the new car is equipped with VR glasses, 5G capabilities, fingerprint recognition, voice commands and facial recognition cameras, which can adjust driving characteristics according to the driver’s mood and ability.
As a sports car, performance is also a top priority.
For performance, Chaos is a supercar that uses a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V10 engine that can deliver up to 3,000 horsepower.The rotational speed reaches 11,000 revolutions per minute.
In terms of speed, Chaos provides up to 3065 horsepower, accelerates from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in less than 1.8 seconds, and has a top speed of 500 kilometers per hour.Judging by these figures, it is faster than the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ and the electric supercar Rimac Nevera, and can be called a “performance beast” among sports cars!
In addition to the top-of-the-line Zero Gravity version with 3,000 horsepower, the car also offers a base version, the Earth Variant, with 2,000 horsepower.The prices of the two are also different. The basic version is priced at 5.5 million euros (equivalent to about 39,769,950 yuan), and the top version is priced at 12.4 million euros (equivalent to about 89,663,160 yuan).
The company plans to build around 15 to 20 a year, with no more than 100 in total. The first orders are expected to be delivered in early 2022. All in all, this is a very innovative sports car. I heard that some local tyrants have already booked one. Well, it’s good to have money!
