Eschewing an aggressive stance for a softer posture, the C_Two may bark, but it doesn’t bite. Agile undulations rather than hasty silhouettes guide the eye from nose to tail. The salient rear wing serves as the hypercar’s sole uninterrupted line, a heady design flourish that doubles as a full air-brake, stabilizing the car under heavy stopping. Inside the cockpit, switches and screens are employed in equal measure, but data is prized above all: Downloadable telemetry from every aspect of the car’s performance is always available. Despite Rimac’s impressive suite of designs, surprisingly none of his technology is patented. It is available for pre-order now, with deliveries expected by the end of the year. more

Considered to be one of the first to implement the extensive use of carbon fiber two decades ago, Pagani’s paterfamilias, Horacio Pagani, continues to artfully weave the hyper-lightweight fabric through his vehicles. It comes as no surprise that the Huayra Roadster BC is practically painted in carbon fiber.

When Pagani Automobili redesigned its Huayra (pronounced wire-ra) Roadster, the Italian hypercar house fixated on a pair of driving forces: added performance and decreased weight. Coupes consistently weigh less than roadsters, due mainly to supplementary stabilization and safety. [links]

Built from the ground up, the Rimac C_Two (its pre-production name) features 1,914 hp derived from four electric motors, one per wheel. Because each motor functions both independently and as a single hive mind, driver preferences reach new heights. It’s possible to distribute the 2,300 Nm of torque to the front and rear powertrain as much as one likes — the car functions as all-wheel drive but it can be easily switched to front- or rear-wheel drive, a previously incomprehensible feat. more

The ACO and FIA—organizers of the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the World Endurance Championship, respectively—confirmed on Wednesday that they will officially bid farewell to the space-age prototype class of race cars after the conclusion of the 24 Hours of Le Mans in June 2020. The launch of the next championship, the 2020-2021 "Super Season," will fill the LMP1 void and feature the back-to-the-future "Hypercar" formula as the top WEC class.

Elsewhere in the 100-plus pages that detail the 2020 rules, norms and oddities abound. Minimum vehicle weight? That’s 2294lbs. Weight distribution? 48.5-percent to the front, minus fuel and driver, with a 1.5-percent variance allowed. Why paint weight distribution into such a tight box? Good question; plenty of answers can be offered, but few make sense at the moment. [links]

The ERS system is restricted to driving only the front axles, and while two generator units are allowed, they must connect to a mechanical differential that doesn’t vector power output. Contrasting the unholy ERS systems found in LMP1 cars, the ACO/FIA have lopped 300-400hp or more from the craziest ERS units seen in the WEC. Piggybacking on the simplified Hypercar engine plans, ERS systems will lose much of their complexity in a bid to reduce costs. here

If you are looking for the ultimate in vehicle performance. If you want a limited edition hypercar or supercar that sits on top of the automotive world, then read on because our list of the eleven most anticipated upcoming hypercars should get you excited:

The Aston Martin Vanquish will compete in the supercar market with the Ferrari F8 Tributo, Lamborghini Huracan EVO, and McLaren’s vehicles. The Vanquish is still a few years away from debuting, but when it does, it will be a force to be reckoned with. The car will feature an aluminum V6 engine paired with an electric motor. This hybrid powertrain will place it securely in the modern age and help it compete with the other big names in the supercar segment. [links]

By now you have all heard about Tesla’s latest F**ck You to the established supercar makers with the announcement of its new Roaster, due in 2020.

Joining them will be Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus (SCG), whose cars have featured at the Nürburgring 24 Hours. here

It’s much needed for a championship that has seen Toyota virtually unchallenged in the top class for three years, after the withdrawals of Audi and Porsche in 2016 and 2017, respectively, after the parent company of both manufacturers, Volkswagen’s emissions scandal and the company’s change in strategy to focus on electrification. more

Naturally, Toyota come into the 2021 WEC season as the frontrunners, having been one of the first to pledge their commitment to a Hypercar entry. here

A lucky few will be able to get their hands on the SCG007 car, something which makes the Hypercar class unique, as both SCG and Toyota have, or will have, road legal versions of the Hypercars they will be racing. here

Top quality drivers, at least four manufacturers by 2023, and some sort of road relevance make Le Mans Hypercars the most anticipated motorsport category in recent memory.
