Is this Infamous Supercar Real?

Thank you so much to Fanttik for sponsoring this video!

The Devel Sixteen has drawn praise and skepticism ever since its reveal way back in 2013. The car has yet to be seen on the road, clouding the perception around this car even further. Will the Sixteen ever see the highway? Surprisingly, I think so.

Hey guys, I've wanted to talk about Devel for a long time, and I'm honestly pulling for them. I want the Sixteen to achieve the company's ambition. The road might have been longer than they were planning, but isn't that true for so many other things? Make sure you're subscribed, we'll be taking a close look at more *interesting* supercar brands here in the US and Europe, you don't want to miss those episodes. - Nolan

Yeah, it’s real. It’s called a Deveste Eight. They sell em on Legendary Motorsport.

"Where can you even drive a car 350 mph?"
Obviously the 18.37 mile long airstrip from Furious 6

The car is real, my neighbor has one, he parks it inside his living room in the high rise we live in. He bought it to replace the Lycan Hypersport some car thieves jumped out of the building.

You forgot to mention getting tires that can handle the heat and stresses of those kinds of speeds.
You can go over two hundred miles/hour in a Veyron but the tires don’t last long at those speeds.
The challenges of building something like this is staggering

[RaimaNd]

As a GTA expert I can tell you that it can only drive 131.75 mph.

[maxcactus]

There's "shooting for the moon" then there's "bullshitting your way all the way to Alpha Centauri". I think Devel was going for the latter.

I remember reading about the Bugatti Veyron when it was in development, the number one challenge was cooling. Motors with this level of power typically are drag racers, which have no auxiliary cooling at all. There are barely any openings on the body of this car! How long will this motor live making that kind of power?

[eshraj]

no matter how much HP, the tires can't support 350mph. And I feel like the aero dynamics of this car at that speed will force the suspension as to push down which might cause low air space under the car

[andredeketeleastutecomplex]

Next up: the Devel 32, a V32 octaturbo quadrocompressor (aka V32/8T4C) engine with 12k whorespurrs, 0 to 100 km in 0.5s, topspeed 1000 kph, parachute and eject seat included.

[FordGTStronk]

Finally! Someone has decided to speak out against the Devel 16! All of my non car friends think this car has actually broken world records.

5000hrsprs would be really impressive, especially not to have it melt within seconds.
To put it into contrast, the Napier Sabre E.118 used in the Folland Fo.108 (never made it past prototyping) could "only" produce about 3000hrsprs... And that engine was *massive* H-24...
So good luck keeping that at bay...

[ThrasherDBS]

If you ever had a little kid describe the sports car he just drew, he'd probably rattle off the same sort of ridiculous stats that Devel claimed on their Sixteen

[JackFoxtrotEDM]

Devel Sixteen: $2.2 million
Some new generic-looking car in GTA Online: “Pathetic.”

[magicmulder]

I’m pretty sure they’re gonna release it in 2157 when either

1. there is no more fuel to power it, or

2. it will be considered a slow clunker that can’t even hold a candle to the Volkswagen Golf XXX with 25, 000 hp and a top speed of 560 mph.

6:48 And before November off this year that 60L Engine was just two Merlin’s put together it still is but only in Spirit & 1, 600 Horsepower

[VegitoBlueYT]

its been 10 years and we are still on about the fucking devel sixteen

[CableGuyRyv]

Devel: "here's a car we made with 4500+ hp"
Also Devel: "it melts if you were to actually push it"
