The manufacturer Spyros Panopoulos Motor Company (SPA) will launch a 3000-horsepower “supercar” with a unique3D printingdesign concept,
The price exceeds 90 million RMB.
SPA is about to launch a sports car equipped with a 12,000 rpm V10 engine called “Chaos”, which is characterized by feather-like3D printingThe body panel can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in two seconds. At present, this powerful sports car has not really appeared, but the manufacturer has shown this supercar through a series of CGI pictures.
Bring “Chaos” to the track
SPA company was founded by design engineer and former racing driver Spyros Panopoulos, specializing in the production of high-performance automotive parts. In the past three years, Panopoulos has used his racing expertise to make parts for some of the most famous supercars in the world, and now he and his team have started their own projects.

Panopoulos told the “Greek Reporter”: “Before we have manufactured many high-performance auto parts for various mass-produced cars such as Lamborghini and McLaren. Now we want to create a car of our own design and production, which will have all these parts, and It will be a vehicle completely manufactured by us.”
Chaos as a supercar, it will have F1-level specifications, including the use of E85
biology
The fueled 4.0-liter V10 engine can provide up to 3000 horsepower. Although the Greek startup also plans to launch a less powerful gasoline version of the supercar, its speed will still reach 11,000 rpm, and it can even become a competitor to models such as Aston Martin’s Valkyrie.
In terms of speed, Panopoulos said Chaos can reach 310 mph or more, which will make it one of the fastest production cars in the world. To see if it can break the road speed record of 316.11 mph set by SSC Tuatara last year, this supercar will be tested with the private Ehra-Lessien circuit in Germany next year.
SPA’s “Anadiaplasi” additive manufacturing process
In order to achieve the speed goal of supercars, SPA plans to use the “Anadiaplasi” manufacturing process to lighten some elements of Chaos.For example, it’s going to be equipped for a 3000-horsepower supercar.3D printingFour-way exhaust pipes, and brake calipers and rotor hubs based on titanium and magnesium.

In addition, it is said that 78% of Chaos futuristic body is also3D printingYes, the same is true for parts of the car’s engines, such as the engine block, pistons, connecting rods, camshafts and intake valves. The lightweight wheels will also be printed from titanium. It is said that the method used is the same as GE Additive’s electron beam melting (EBM) The technology is similar.

If this car is launched on the market, the price will be very high. The basic model is 5.5 million euros (about 40.91 million yuan), and the 3000-horsepower model is 12.4 million euros (about 92.24 million yuan), because each continent will only sell 20 Chaos, so it will be very rare.
Speed-seeking3D printing
Car manufacturers adopt3D printingTechnology has been manufacturing functional parts for some time, but this technology is now increasingly being used to improve the performance of high-end sports cars and racing cars.
This year, New Zealand manufacturer Rodin Cars revealed that its 1,000-horsepower “FZERO” supercar will use3D printingGearbox.This drive system is compatible with
3D Systems
The company manufactures it together and has a hydraulically controlled differential that manages the torque produced by the engine, which is faster than modern F1 racing cars.
British Arash Motor Company also adopted3D printingTechnology, using MakerBot’s technology to prototype new high-speed electric vehicles under development and produce end-use carbon fiber motor boxes, multiple electric motors, and high-capacity battery packs.
