777 Hypercar's 9K-RPM (carbuzz.com)
From 730 to 789 HP: Unleashing the Potential of a Naturally Aspirated V8
Unprecedented Power Boost for 777 Hypercar
In a remarkable turn of events, the naturally aspirated V8 engine of the 777 Hypercar by 777 Motors has surpassed expectations, evolving from its initial 730-horsepower claim. Despite being on the scene only since November 2022, 777 Motors is already carving a niche for itself, capturing attention with the release of the latest details and images. Initially reported in June 2023, the 4.5-liter naturally aspirated V8 now boasts an astonishing 789 horsepower at 9,000 rpm, a feat made possible by advancements in synthetic fuel technology since the hypercar’s debut.
Exceptional Performance and Design Achievements
Achieving its target weight of 1,984 pounds, the 777 Hypercar demonstrates not only raw power but also an impressive design. With a top speed of 230 mph, the vehicle can technically drive upside down, generating 4,630 lbs of downforce at that speed. Confirming a lateral acceleration of 4G, the 777 promises an exhilarating driving experience. Despite being showcased at the Dubai Autodrome, these hypercars will find their permanent residence at the Monza Circuit in Italy, offering exclusive access to the seven fortunate owners.
Project 777 – Motorsport Icons and Technological Marvels
Project 777 brings together several motorsport icons to create an unparalleled hypercar. Collaborating with Dallara for the carbon fiber monocoque chassis, renowned for its track-only supercars, 777 Motors reinforces its commitment to innovation. The engine, supplied by Gibson Technology, is a fully unleashed LMP1-spec endurance racing engine, free from homologation constraints, allowing unparalleled performance. Safety measures, handled by Sparco, draw from Formula 1 expertise, ensuring each owner receives a comprehensive racing kit. Stilo, leveraging its F1 experience, provides a helmet with an integrated radio for added safety.
Future Prospects and Billionaire Backing
While the first units are slated for delivery in 2025, the hypercar’s potential lap time of 1:33.00 at Autodromo Nazionale Monza remains theoretical. If 777’s claims hold true, it could outpace the current street-legal production car record by 10 seconds, challenging even Formula 1 engines. The allure of this exclusive project will be seen in how many billionaires invest, amid a landscape filled with track-only hypercars like the Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro, the Ford GT MK IV, and the enticing McLaren Solus.
