This Spanish startup has quietly entered the hypercar scene, challenging the established players with their latest creation, the Boreas. Launched during the 24 Hours of Le Mans 2017, this supercar is the brainchild of David Sancho Domingo, the visionary behind DSD Design & Motorsport. What sets them apart is not just their ambition but also the decade-long journey they undertook with various collaborators to bring the Boreas to life.

Named after the Greek mythological figure, the North Wind God, Boreas symbolizes power, speed, and boasts 12 offspring. Presently introduced as a concept car, the Boreas utilizes plug-in hybrid technology, claiming a staggering 1,000 horsepower. Impressively, the creators promise an electric-only range of approximately 96.56 km on a single charge.

Performance-wise, the Boreas doesn't disappoint. With an acceleration from 0-100 kilometers per hour in just 2.8 seconds and a maximum speed of 380 kph, it stands toe-to-toe with its more renowned counterparts. Unfortunately, specific performance details are shrouded in secrecy, adding an air of mystery to this Spanish hypercar.
Excitingly, DSD Design & Motorsport plans to unveil all the details early in 2018. Production is scheduled to commence in December 2017, with a limited run of only 12 units. While DSD Design & Motorsport may not be the first Spanish company to venture into the supercar realm – with Spania GTA being another notable player – the Boreas undoubtedly adds a new chapter to Spain's presence in the world of high-performance vehicles.

Imagine having this remarkable piece of automotive engineering parked in your garage. The Boreas not only signifies Spain's prowess in the hypercar domain but also stands as a testament to DSD Design & Motorsport's dedication to pushing boundaries. As the automotive world eagerly awaits more details, one can't help but wonder if the Boreas will redefine the landscape of hypercars. Have you ever caught a glimpse of this extraordinary supercar on the streets? The Boreas, a silent contender among giants, is a testament to Spain's growing influence in the elite world of hypercars. *** [EKA [26072017] | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | MOTORAUTHORITY | CARBUZZ | CARANDDRIVER ]

He revealed that he has partnered with several other automotive companies to realize his dream to create Elextra. So far, Elextra is still a concept. And the production of Elextra’s car will be handled by an independent vehicle manufacturer based in Stuttgart, Germany. Just 100 examples are destined to be built.

“The idea behind Elextra is to combine pure lines reminding of the most exciting Italian supercars of the past, whilst being resolutely forward looking thanks to its low, sleek and beautiful design, paired with today's most advanced technology,” Palm explained.

This car plans to have four doors and the majority of body made of carbon fiber. The hood of the car looks slim. At the rear, the V-shaped wings hang with the roof and extend to the side of the car.

"This wing brings more downforce than the regular wing, but its unique shape does not block the view to the rear window. It's a supercar you can see from behind," Palm added. Elextra will be carrying two electric motors that can produce 670 horsepower of power. So that allows Elextra to accelerate from 0-100 kilometers per hour only 2.3 seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h.

But the company don’t have any details on the batteries used but Elextra says buyers can expect at least 595.46 km on a single charge. Of course that range will largely depend on how hard you push the car. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | ELEXTRA | AUTOBLOG | FOXNEWS]
