At present, the automotive industry can be likened to a magnet, which has always attracted the interest of many parties to plunge into it. No wonder then many automotive manufacturers have sprung up from all over the world. And one of them is a Greece automotive manufacturer named Spyros Panopoulos Automotive. Previously, the company only tune-up various cars, but never made their own cars.

Recently, this Greek company will launch its new supercar with an insane burst of power reaching 3,000 horsepower, and given the car a proper name 'Chaos.' As reported by Carscoops, the supercar itself is equipped with a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V10 engine that is capable of power bursting of 2,000 to 3,000 horsepower.

And if this proves to be true, the Chaos will be listed as one of the world's most powerful cars today. Previously on the list was the Dubai-made Devel Sixteen claimed able to produce the power nearly 5,000 hp.
Furthermore, Spyros Panopoulos Automotive said there are 2 engine options that will be offered with two different fuel uses as well. Yes, it is said that the first option of the Chaos engine used regular gasoline will be able to produce bursts of power up to 2,000 horsepower with a maximum engine rotation reaching 11,000 rpm.
While the next engine option that can produce a maximum power of 3,000 horsepower, it uses E85 fuel so that it can make a maximum engine rotation reaches 12,000 rpm. As we know that E85 stands for a mixture of fuel with a composition of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline.

Not end here, Spyros Panopoulos Automotive also said that both supercar engined was coupled with the dual-clutch automatic transmission and AWD system onboard, with 35% of the momentum going to the front axle and 65% to the rear one. And the company claims, it can make the Chaos to accelerate from 0-96 kph in less than 2 seconds and max out at 500 kph (310 mph).
However, until now Spyros Panopoulos Automotive has not provided complete information yet about the car's technical data and prices. Besides that, there won’t be any more photos or details until the car debuts at the 2021 Geneva International Motor Show. Can this Hellenic supercar reach the throne of world supercar glory? Only time can answer that, let's wait and see. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | SPYROS PANOPOULOS | CARSCOOPS | GREEKCITYTIMES]

Now we talking about beautiful cars made by Alfa Romeo which is also famous in the 1960s, namely Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale, this car known as a road-legal version of the Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 racing car. At that time, this car was also recognized as one of the world's most beautiful cars. This car model was built as many as 18 units from 1969 to 1971.
1968 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale is one of the most sought classic cars in the world. (Picture from: http://adf.ly/1aDPBy)
As we all knew, five units of 33 Stradales were made into concept cars by three Italian coachbuilders, such as Pininfarina which built 1968 Alfa Romeo P33, 1969 Alfa Romeo 33/2 Coupé Speciale, and 1971 Alfa Romeo Cuneo (made in the same chassis as the Roadster P33).

As well as two other concepts built by Italdesign named Alfa Romeo Iguana and the other is Bertone with a car called Alfa Romeo Carabo in 1968, and 1976 Alfa Romeo Navajo.
And here are 3 concept cars made into concept cars by Pininfarina.
1. Alfa Romeo P33 Roadster
The first car produced was the Alfa-Romeo P33 Roadster which was built in 1968 and was first displayed at Turin Motorshow in November 1968. This concept car uses a V8 mid-mounted engine.
1968 Alfa Romeo Pininfarina P33 Roadster was debuted at the 1968 Turin Motor Show. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/2Y9voSA)
The P33 Roadster featured a wedge-shaped design, a large overhead spoiler, or aerofoil positioned just behind the cockpit and "beetle-wing" doors, and the car was painted in white with the interior and aerofoil in brown.
2. Alfa Romeo 33/2 Coupé Speciale
The next car is the Alfa Romeo 33/2 Coupé Speciale or commonly known as 33.2. The car was first introduced at the Paris Motor Show in 1969. One design that stands out is the pop-up lights and hydraulic butterfly doors.

And the 33/2 Coupé Speciale is based on the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale chassis No. 750.33.115 and bore a striking yellow paint.
3. Alfa Romeo Cuneo
It is thought P33 Roadster's body was later removed by Pininfarina and replaced with the 33 Spider Cuneo design that debuted in January 1971 at the Brussels Motor Show. The Alfa Romeo 33 Spider Cuneo was a Paulo Martin-designed concept used a fully functional 230 horsepower 2-liter V8 engine and weighs just 1,400 lbs.
1971 Alfa Romeo Pininfarina 33 Spider Cuneo Concept was debuted at the 1971 Brussels Motor Show. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/2KDJ7ZO)
It was shaped like a racing powerboat and sported an aerofoil just behind the cockpit that also served as a roll bar and oil radiator. The headlights were grouped into a single cluster on the bonnet, with a similar cluster at the rear enclosing the tailpipes.
Various forms of beautiful concept cars were born and had been made the world's automotive enthusiasts fascinated by its beauty to this day. Usually, it can be done if those automotive-creations as a collaboration result between automotive manufacturers and design houses.

And the car also has a glass-covered its mid-engine and styling that was low and curvy. Most Ferraris nowadays have a pane of glass over its engine but back in 1968, it was seen as revolutionary.
The concept then inspired the Pininfarina to build another prototype with an almost similar shape called the Alfa Romeo 33/2 Coupé Speciale and debuted a year later in Paris. And it's proven, the collaboration between the two companies remains lasting until now. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | TOP SPEED | CONCEPTCARZ | CLASSIC CARS FANDOM | SUPERCARNOSTALGIA ]

Not many people expected, when the Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 was introduced in 1984 would become part of the world's automotive history. However, turn out the lion-logoed car manufacturer of French is quite serious while getting involved in the Group-B world's rally then they built this fierce cutie monster.
1984 Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 street version built as a limited production that is only made as many as 200 units at that time. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/2xtpqRA)
In fact, from the 26 rally series that it participated in over the two years (1985 and 1986), the 205 T16 were able to climb to the victory podium of 16 times. So it is not surprising that the championship title for drivers and manufacturers is safe in the Peugeot's hand.
But there is an interesting thing, namely the Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 as a limited production that is only made as many as 200 units at that time. No wonder if the car later became fought over among the racing fans at the time, due to its production version besides carrying the racing specifications, it was legal for road use (with a few restrictions on the features according to traffic regulations).

However, do not expect too much if the car will be exactly the same as the 205 mass-production versions because the manufacturer when working on the car also involves the racing division apparently only uses a few components of the 205.
1984 Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 utilized a wide footprint to improve control and thanks to the large air scoops behind its doors and a fairly wide back hips. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/2xtpqRA)
In appearance, we can still find many similarities, but only limited to the windshield, doors, and lights. When viewed from its dimensions, this special edition car is not too thin, because the 205 T16 utilizes a wide footprint to improve control and thanks to the large air scoops behind its doors and a fairly wide back hips.
1984 Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 special white colored with production number 000/200. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/2VfdAnc)
The rest for the mid-engine mechanism and four-wheel motion are special components. And it is believed that the placement of the gearbox mechanism behind the cockpit makes the power distribution ratio of 45:55 forward and backward.
This car gets power from a 1,775cc twin-cam turbo engine that reaches 200 hp and 255 Nm of torque. Then there is something that makes it even more classy, the four-wheel motion system is the result of a special design from the Ferguson Formula (FF).

Then there is an unusual position placement for its some components, thus making the 205 T16 observed by many world's racing modification specialists. One of them is the placement of the fuel tank behind the cockpit is also a consideration. But again, do not hope for practicality, because the front trunk is used to store spare tires.
Don't compare this car with the 205 GTI either, because the 205 T16 is designed to be very impressive when supporting the legs that use the 215/55 R15 tires. The tiny car with Bilstein attenuation and high ground clearance so it is very comfortable while driving and running fast in the corner.
When it comes to performance, the 205 T16 can be said to be the weakest when compared to its rivals, where acceleration from 0 to 100 kph can only be achieved in 6 seconds. Then the highest speed is also limited to 210 kph, even though the wind resistance is 0.35 Cd.
Not to mention there's the Turbo lag that always occurs when the engine speed is below 3,000 rpm, and ideally, the car engine spinning at 4,000 rpm, plus a 5-speed transmission lever that feels very short when operated and soft clutch stepped on. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | MOTOR1 | SNAPLAP]
