This is not McLaren, Ferrari, or Lamborghini. This is truly an authentic Ukrainian sports car called Chimera or Himera-Q developed by Andriy Dzhazovsky. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/2X1DVpb)
This supercar was developed by a Ukrainian businessman, as well as a car collector named Andriy Dzhazovsky. The unique name of the Chimera used for this car is taken from Greek mythological creatures which are a monstrous fire-breathing hybrid creature of Lycia in Asia Minor, composed of the parts of more than one animal. It is usually depicted as a lion, with the head of a goat protruding from its back, and a tail that might end with a snake's head.
The first Ukrainian Chimera supercar appearance has beautifully detailed strong and aggressive curves. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/2X0wXka)
And according to the developers, the name is in accordance with the car appearance that has beautifully detailed strong and aggressive curves. The sports car developer further said that the Chimera was built in 2 models, where the first model was a car with a conventional engine taken from an Audi R8 car capable of producing power up to 1,200 horsepower.

While the next Chimera model is a sports car that uses electricity. This car is said to use a 1,000 hp electric motor and an energy storage system that was developed specifically with a battery that can last up to a thousand kilometers and its charge is returned in just half an hour. (Wow!) 😐 Besides that, the Chimera developer claims that a single battery charged can make this sports car travel thousands of kilometers. (Is it true?) 😉
And reportedly, when the prototype car conducted the tests on closed tracks in Spain managed to show a quite impressive performance, where the car is able to accelerate from rest to 100 kph in less than 3 seconds and a top speed limited to 350 kph. Unfortunately, there are no other detailed technical and performance data from this car.

Chimera was built in 2 models, where the first model was a car with a
conventional engine taken from an Audi R8 and the second one is an electric-powered car. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/2X1DVpb)
Initial estimates, the cost for such a car will start from €700 thousand. And reportedly, the developers have received 10 orders in advance from the United Arab Emirates and the European Union. Andriy Dzhazovsky further said that Chimera had passed European certification. But it still has to pass the crashed and homologation test to start full-scale production of this car.
Of the two tested Chimera is a fully electric (all-wheel drive, four independent motors) powered by a battery with graphene modules. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/2X1DVpb)
Shortly after the first photo of Chimera appeared on the Internet, allegations of plagiarism came from Russia. With a reason, the car has a similar design with one called Lada Raven developed by AVTOvaz. But the Ukrainian sports car developer has denied all the allegations and claimed that he has a patent for the car designs.
Initially, the Chimera will be assembled entirely in Ukraine but is hindered by high taxes and a lack of infrastructure in the country. So then the production process carried out in Barcelona, Spain. It should be the end of 2017, this supercar has passed all of the tests and goes on sale. But until now there has never been more news about the Chimera supercar. Let's us know if You have further info about this Ukrainian supercars. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | 24TV.UA | DRIVETRIBE | WIKIPEDIA]

As quoted from Autoevolution, recently a French industrial designer named Thomas Angebault showed one of his best motorcycle designs called Voltage Racer 😎 which he thought worthy to be the Bentley's first luxurious superbike if the brand was really intended in producing motorbikes in the near future.
The Bentley Voltage Racer's swingarm is supporting the front hubless wheels at the bottom so that can multiply the front wheel propulsion system. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/2ZcYFfj)
The result is no doubt because this electric-powered motorcycle has the best design in every corner by carrying the Neo-Retro style. If Bentley was really interested in giving birth to motorcycle products, it should be has a similar luxury like the car they had been marketing all of this time?

Basically, this concept car is the successor of the Karma SC1 Vision Concept which has been present before and is an open coupe car. The difference, in this Karma SC2, Karma Automobile installed a proper roof. A number of features embedded in this new car are a powertrain that is capable of producing an average power of 1,100 horsepower so as to record an acceleration time from 0 to 100 km per hour in less than 2 secs.
Karma SC2 concept does have a unique scissor-doors because it is opened and closed by sliding the door up and down. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2IUOGCp)
The automaker claims that they are developing a battery that able to bring the car to a distance of 350 miles on a single charge with normal use. Besides that, the car's torque is also controlled by a computer to manipulate the power supplied to its wheels.
Behind the sleek and sexy appearance of the body with metallic silver paint that binds the whole body of the concept car on display for the first time at the Los Angeles Car Show, it turns out there are a number of other features of this car that are in the spotlight of visitors, one of which is the door. Karma SC2 does have a unique scissor-doors because it is opened and closed by sliding the door up and down.
To support the Karma SC2 concept performance, there's an I-shaped 120kWh battery is housed in the center tunnel beneath the dashboard and seats. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/3cWD3sn)
This concept car also has electronic features that are known to be widely used in premium cars today, such as cameras, proximity sensors, long-range radar sensors, heads up displays. The car also uses a showcase design feature known as playback mode, which allows computers, controls, and displays to present a real driving experience even if the car is at rest.
In this car is mounted the winglet style sensor plus cameras next to its doors, a place where usually a conventional car rearview mirrors are installed. Another unique thing about this car is that the headlight does not stand out, so it seems to blend into the front of the body so that it presents a smoother body contour.

Not only that, the car has a semi-square shaped steering wheel. In addition, this car also has a square headrest with sharp angles.

At a glance, Karma SC2 looks like it has a "nose" section that is quite long with a short deck that is identical to the performance car. This car does have fairly low ground clearance. The result, the car has a futuristic look but still maintains an aggressive impression.
This car has a black semi-gloss roof that has an overhang at the top of the side and rear windows. Installation of this overhang is considered to provide an artistic touch but with a "squished" look. Inside the roof, there is also a headline which is said to have an inlay with optical fiber to enlarge the seat. The seat also has a biometric inlay for the customization of the passengers and drivers of this car.
Karma SC2 concept is uses of charcoal-colored alloy wheels with conventional low profile tires are well suited to brake rotors and calipers. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/3cWD3sn)
As you can see the Karma SC2 does not have a grille on the front. Instead, Karma Automotive then installed a stylish scoop to the side. This scoop is claimed to help the process of brake cooling, and also makes the car look seem more aggressive and sporty.
The lower part of the rear of the car also has a scoop and channel that matches the scoop on the front, so for a moment, it reminds us of a typical Japanese drift car.Then the bonnet area has a simple moniker on the front center and also a scoop on the side where the fender meets the hood.
Karma SC2 indeed reaps a lot of praise thanks to the appearance of its final form is very riveting. The use of charcoal-colored alloy wheels with conventional low profile tires are well suited to brake rotors and calipers that display the end result that is always expected from a car that carries a futuristic theme like this.
Also reported, Karma SC2 has a technology called biometric entry lock from the outside, including fingerprint and facial recognition.Some of these features are also planned to be included in future Karma Automobile production models, for example, the Revero GT 2020.*** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | KARMA AUTOMOTIVE | AUTOBLOG | NETCARSHOW]
