Did U Ever See This One? - When it comes to top-notch hypercars, names like Koenigsegg, Lamborghini, Pagani, Ferrari, and Bugatti often dominate the conversation. However, amidst these giants, a relatively lesser-known player is making waves in the hypercar arena. Ever heard of DSD Design & Motorsport?

This Spanish startup has quietly entered the hypercar scene, challenging the established players with their latest creation, the Boreas. Launched during the 24 Hours of Le Mans 2017, this supercar is the brainchild of David Sancho Domingo, the visionary behind DSD Design & Motorsport. What sets them apart is not just their ambition but also the decade-long journey they undertook with various collaborators to bring the Boreas to life.

Named after the Greek mythological figure, the North Wind God, Boreas symbolizes power, speed, and boasts 12 offspring. Presently introduced as a concept car, the Boreas utilizes plug-in hybrid technology, claiming a staggering 1,000 horsepower. Impressively, the creators promise an electric-only range of approximately 96.56 km on a single charge.

Performance-wise, the Boreas doesn't disappoint. With an acceleration from 0-100 kilometers per hour in just 2.8 seconds and a maximum speed of 380 kph, it stands toe-to-toe with its more renowned counterparts. Unfortunately, specific performance details are shrouded in secrecy, adding an air of mystery to this Spanish hypercar.
Excitingly, DSD Design & Motorsport plans to unveil all the details early in 2018. Production is scheduled to commence in December 2017, with a limited run of only 12 units. While DSD Design & Motorsport may not be the first Spanish company to venture into the supercar realm – with Spania GTA being another notable player – the Boreas undoubtedly adds a new chapter to Spain's presence in the world of high-performance vehicles.
