lol we've seen like 1000 different variatoins of some v12 manual no screens overpriced hypercar blah blah blah at this point its hardly anything special
While I appreciate simplicity, super cars have zero rearward visibility, and side mirrors aren't that helpful. Having cameras and a screen for those functions is necessary. Especially is in a busy city centre and if you need to park in a public space.
I met Sasha at an event and spoke to him, didn't know who he was, which was actually very cool, because at no point did he flex, just a nice car guy. I wish him every success. I'm doing something similar with s600 engine and a 6 speed manual. Love the easter eggs hidden in this car!
As an artist designer in the car industry, making a name that will be known for years and not be forgotten or lost in a big car company can only be done by creating a car from a to z on his own with no restrictions. Enzo, Ferrucio, Gordon, Horatio, Christian,... Didn't know Sasha worked on the Koenigsegg or Bugatti. Now I will remember he did the Nilu. Hope his project will go through and be successful. Who was saying V12 atmo is a dying breed lol?
Turns out the V10 became a dying breed (even though it was a rare one to begin with and perhaps one the most recent powertrain that became relevant) meanwhile the V12 is seeing tons of projects and new startup cars boasting it, like a counter revolution movement against the electrification push.
Salute to Sasha for being a pure enthusiast. I can see why he had so many friends in higher up places and the right backers to fulfill his dream. Sometimes, you'll see people that deserve it. He's genuinely passionate. I cant imagine the kind of money it takes to find R&D and design such a bespoke ground up project from a start-up into fruition.
Absolutely stunning. The glass cabin gives a Pininfarina P4/5 vibe, the NACA duct gives a Countach vibe, the wheels and the shifter gives a Ken Block vibe, the engine/exhaust packaging gives a 60s Formula 1 vibe. What other influences do ya'll see?
Now without having seen it actually drive, it’s certainly one of the best looking cars if not best looking cars to have ever been made. Hopefully it lives up to how it looks and the supposed specs bc this thing is truly amazing with all those racing cues which you have nicely pointed out! I’m a really picky person when it comes to liking cars but Shasha and co really just hit every aspect perfectly basically making what every driver wants in a car.
GT 40 crazy snakes and tube frame glances from the rear 6:59 , and a bit of C3 'vette front end and arches shape ( 5:07 distorted by the gaping vents lol) so a lot of late 60's/early '70s motor sport actually, even the naca ducts are around from then. I love this car, being a product of that era too lol but it is wildly futuristic at the same glance.
@cliveargyle5237 it means kiwis are doing well and hard work pays. I was congratulating our countryman on their engine build. They are making headway into the super car arena. A great achievement for a small company from a small country to small-minded person such as yourself.
I really like Sasha's entire ethos with this car. Keeping it all about the driver's experience behind the wheel, with nothing inhibiting them from getting the most out if it relative to their skill set. I also like how familiar and unique the design is at the same time. We can see the influences, but Sasha put his twist on it to make it look & feel fresh. You can also feel his passion for the car. The "labor of love" if you will. Very reminiscent of listening to the likes of Christian von Koenigsegg and Gordon Murray talk about their cars. Guys that want to keep the emotional side alive in these cars. He built an incredible machine!
I love how he is able to explain the exact purpose of every decision on this car, really shows how much this means to him, that guy seems like an absolute legend
Looks beautiful, love the lines. How these people can make something new that has both classic lines but also a modern twist whilst still making everything look like it is meant to be that way simply astounds me. Nilu 27 is a strange name but i bet it will be one that grows on us all.
I love this SOOOO much! It all made sense to me when I found out that Sasha designed the Huracan. Am on the lookout for this thing actually driving, can’t wait. I really hope these guys are successful.
Might be my new favourite car! I felt like the automotive industry has been lacking cars that center around the driver and offer an analog driving experience so its really exciting that Sasha is able to bring back this type of car back into the world!
Shmee150 Absolutely Incredible Video I think the All New Nilu27 looks absolutely incredible and I think it's awesome that Sasha and Nelson told everything about it and I hope you'll get a chance to drive one someday
Wow. I love each and every detail. Supercool car. 😊👍Salute to Sasha for creating this car. I hope Shmee gets to drive NILU27 in the future and share his crisp opinion. Awesome wholesome video Shmee. Cheeeers 👍
I really enjoyed this video. I love the design of the Nilu27, I love that it has a manual gearbox and the exposed exhaust pipes reminding me of the old F1 cars with a nice and nostalgic smile, I'm looking forward to hearing how it sounds
A car that would take me back to my early driving years, the cars I drove to start had no booster on the brakes no power steering no computers yet we drove them all year round and controlled the power with our feet.
Love everything about this except those funny little hinge clips on the roof. I get they're to do with safety, but it's hard to believe that's the most elegant solution they could come up with.
Love everything about it. I'll never own one, but damn it's a real sports car. Who doesn't like that. Can't wait for the drive reviews. Well done as always Tim, high fives for the whole crew.
“What’s the 0-60 or 0-100? It isn’t a number… It’s up to the driver”. That sounds like a cop-out. Okay, put your best driver in it, and see what he does, and give us some numbers.. wtf? 😂
All of us sim racers and dreamers of Forza Motorsport and Gran Turismo will be waiting in anticipation, I am definitely one, beautiful car made the way they should be, raw and exhilarating to drive, envious of those that get to experience it in the flesh physically and an engine from a part of New Zealand where I live is meke as, we pride ourselves on our ingenuity, kiwi ingenuity at its best on the worlds stage, we have a saying "WORLD FAMOUS IN NEW ZEALAND!!"
Supercars are a dime a dozen these days. When I was a kid, it was the old brands flagship cars that were the supercars. Porsche 959, Ferrari F40, Lamborghini Diablo, Jaguar XJ220. Then came McLaren and set the bar so high that even Ferrari gave up. Now there are new brands that only makes supercars, hypercars, megacars whatever you want to call them. These days a new brand is cropping up every week it seems. I wonder how it will be like in 10 years.
For a first car this is a tremendous effort inside and out. The front has a good look , the side profile and wheels are pure racer but it's the back (tail- lights , exhaust , shapes ) reminds me of a cartoon character face...1070hp v12 , manual , even the interior is tasteful......Decent !
Now that's a car!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 That's badass. No video games with that one.. That's ultra sick!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 That's exactly what I don't like about new cars, they don't convey the driving experience or how the car is feeling the road.. especially through the steering wheel.. Electric steering sucks...
Lovely looking car , but personally for me i would have chosen another colour it doesn't really flatter the car .. love the rear cut out for the engine, but personally i would have had the engine under a clear glass or plastic cover so you could see it and it kept the dirt and road mess off it.
It would need to be the only one of Shmee's cars that would be modified (such as by swapping in a 20B 3-rotor, naturally aspirated for ultimate throttle response)....
Sasha Whoiveknownnformanyyears is a weird name. Is it Swedish?
I see what you did there 🤣🤣
Could be, we may never know!
Whoheknowsformanyyearsbutyouneverknow
Sounds Israeli
Best comment.
Manual gearbox and no stupid screens everywhere, this guy knows how to build a car!
His analogy with not wanting more calories, since we're full, but rather want a good experience or quality was quite wise and clear minded.

Same stupid talking point from fools that can't afford the damn car

Who was saying V12 atmo is a dying breed lol?
Clarkson back in 09 I I believe it was, stating that the Aventador would probably be the last V12 supercar lol
did hurracan also
Turns out the V10 became a dying breed (even though it was a rare one to begin with and perhaps one the most recent powertrain that became relevant) meanwhile the V12 is seeing tons of projects and new startup cars boasting it, like a counter revolution movement against the electrification push.
Looks like an unlicensed supercar out of GTA. A lot of inspiration from various cars. Especially in the rear. Engine bay is a work of art though.
I’m sure he’s had conversations with the developers at rockstar they have to have some type of connection
engine bay looks like it came straight out of 60s era F1, nothing can rival the degree of insanity this side of group b.
He designed those cars you speak of.
With the engine bay quite open and red interior, plus bubble like canopy, screams Peugeot Quasar from the 80s
Salute to Sasha for being a pure enthusiast. I can see why he had so many friends in higher up places and the right backers to fulfill his dream. Sometimes, you'll see people that deserve it. He's genuinely passionate. I cant imagine the kind of money it takes to find R&D and design such a bespoke ground up project from a start-up into fruition.
He sounds like Gordon Murray when he talks about the driver experience first. We need more cars like this.
Leaving Koenigsegg is a big deal! But Sasha has one of the best CVs out there!🔥
Whats a CV?
@@flatearthhess5338Work history.
@@yamahaevo no, that's W.H. haha

The back gives my a Pagani vibe. Very nice looking car the rest needs to be determined though. Hopefully it’s as badass as it looks.
Kiwis killing it. Go brooo! Palmy hard!!

@@Manup2day making way is hardly killing it!! This small mind used to live there, but got very tired of the smokers, drunks and empty bragging!!
Awesome and great shout out to Nelson for one of his incredibly built engines. Love the pure and uncluttered design. Cheers from New Zealand
I've been following Sasha's work for a while, and seeing this come to fruition is just so cool. Really impressive stuff all around.
“ Aotearoa!”Go Nelson! Awesome work Bruu!!💪🔥🇳🇿😎

Always classy videos from this channel. Thanks Tim!

It’s difficult to put into words the beauty of this amazing car other than to say poetry in motion.
Stark white is so bold but it works fantastically.
Agreed, driver experience and engagement is more important than hp numbers
😎👍
Amazing achievement 👏🙌👏
Shmee150 Absolutely Incredible Video I think the All New Nilu27 looks absolutely incredible and I think it's awesome that Sasha and Nelson told everything about it and I hope you'll get a chance to drive one someday
it is BEAUTIFUL, and the white on white looks like something made out of ceramic, i love it it is so beautiful
They are going to like the product %100! I’ll take two!
Just an absolutely beautiful machine. I do hope the road version has headlights. I think the front end would look better with them.
Love the retro futuristic design. He's got this absolutely spot on. 👌
New dream car right here
that would be my lotto win selection, looks incredible and the genius behind it seems like a decent down to earth guy.
less tech = more fun
I'm immediately in love lol
V12 plus three pedals = joy
SHMEE!! I wish I could have met you at the Concours! Hope you are there next year!
Wow. I love each and every detail. Supercool car. 😊👍Salute to Sasha for creating this car. I hope Shmee gets to drive NILU27 in the future and share his crisp opinion. Awesome wholesome video Shmee. Cheeeers 👍
Thank you Tim for this fantastic video!
02:27 The perfect explanation/definition of the car! And what a supercar should be
I really enjoyed this video. I love the design of the Nilu27, I love that it has a manual gearbox and the exposed exhaust pipes reminding me of the old F1 cars with a nice and nostalgic smile, I'm looking forward to hearing how it sounds
Love the brake caliper shapes and sculpture.
I've seen uploads of this car in the past couple of days. But I was waiting for your video to drop. Great video.
There’s always room for more Hyper Cars… Beautiful car…
He speaks like a natural leader and entrepreneur. He will go far.
I'm not usually the biggest fan of random start up hypercars etc but that thing looks really good.
Looks like it could fall apart any time
Less than a minute is crazy
Welcome and thanks for the early view
This is really fantastic. He and his team should feel proud.
The design wow! I saw Manny Khoshbin liking the pictures, so I hope he's buying one
You get a nice EGT cooling when it's raining lol Can't wait to see the street-legal version.
I met Sasha at car week. Super nice guy!
This guy is a real car guy. It's a masterpiece
A car that would take me back to my early driving years, the cars I drove to start had no booster on the brakes no power steering no computers yet we drove them all year round and controlled the power with our feet.
The Countach mark on lower side is a call back to Lamborghini.
I thought it would be a call
Back to the Chevrolet Countach.
Now that’s a car to get excited about.
LOL 😂
Love everything about this except those funny little hinge clips on the roof. I get they're to do with safety, but it's hard to believe that's the most elegant solution they could come up with.
yeah i like this auto already, so cool shape not overdone ,orders will come flying in i wish one was mine
I’m not sold on the front end, but that rear is a work of art.
I felt the same
Love everything about it. I'll never own one, but damn it's a real sports car. Who doesn't like that. Can't wait for the drive reviews. Well done as always Tim, high fives for the whole crew.

Welcome for the 198t like and thanks for the vid:)
Glad to learn the inspiration behind the name _ absolutely amazing
Looks and sounds like a mad project. Can’t wait to see more.
That thing looks awesome. Like this guys attitude too. Hope to see a road test soon
Perfect timing...kudos to the builder..seeing this beauty made me excited...performance cars have been so boring past 10 years....nilu is exciting
1:00 is that imkay in the background 😂
Yes 😂😂😂 it is.
Just love this car. Would have really liked to have heard it. Thanks Tim for posting.
Love everything about that car. So cool. And love his vibe. Dreams do come true. Good for him!
A true enthusiasts car
Now he's a billionaire 👌✨ genius 💫
9:06 damn that interior is sick 🔥👹🔥 straight lava floww
This car deserves to be made!!!
Nice video thanks so much for sharing ❤❤
Love the return to manual transmissions for these hyper cars
Cant wait to see what this could look like in other color schemes/patterns. The white on white on white on white is a lot to process visually.
performance base on the driver..... can't be more 27 Gilles Villeneuve vibe!!!
My favorite hypercar by far i love the gated v 12
I am a huge fan of this thing !
Beautiful, although the interior needs a LOT of work, but...isn't he reinventing the McLaren F1?
Truly stunning car and it would look epic sat in the halo bay

@@rashadvsyou the holy Trinity that brought us the hybrid hyper cars. That showdown reminded me of the period of the nineties super cars .
Im sold on this! Stunning design and will easily stand the trst of time thanks to the lack of cabin tech
That car is amazing to look at. Wow!!
A true car guy. Well done, well done.
Quite a project! Cool looking car and great passion behind it 🌟

This Car's Engine is great but Czinger skeleton chassis is amazing
Love that rear design
We are witnessing the birth of a superstar.
Would like to see it in black and red
I met Sasha whoiveknownformanyyears aswell. I told him to make best looking hypercar in modern history. I'm glad he took my advice
Those wheels are so sick!
would love to see how this is actually built, assembled or something
This company is the next big deal, great looking car!
NILU 🤝 GMA
Hey Shmee, out of all the cars you've been in which one would you say is the most extreme in terms of speed and general craziness?
Lovely looking car , but personally for me i would have chosen another colour it doesn't really flatter the car .. love the rear cut out for the engine, but personally i would have had the engine under a clear glass or plastic cover so you could see it and it kept the dirt and road mess off it.
This seems like he might as well work for Gordon Murray. He's spitting off the same philosophy with the driving, etc.
Great tribute to Gilles!
Not sure if it was mentioned before, but have u considered getting a Miata? Its an inexpensive fun ride. You can call it your Shmee-ata !!
That name would fit very, very well
It would need to be the only one of Shmee's cars that would be modified (such as by swapping in a 20B 3-rotor, naturally aspirated for ultimate throttle response)....
Gorgeous...
absolutely gorgeous!!
Please review the new Tuatara too please. Wondering about the specs
Remember when shmee uploaded numerous times in a day during events like car week I miss those days that’s a lot of work tho so I understand
