This is not McLaren, Ferrari, or Lamborghini. This is truly an authentic Ukrainian sports car called Chimera or Himera-Q developed by Andriy Dzhazovsky. (Picture from: 24TV.ua)
This supercar was developed by a Ukrainian businessman, as well as a car collector named Andriy Dzhazovsky. The unique name of the Chimera used for this car is taken from Greek mythological creatures which are a monstrous fire-breathing hybrid creature of Lycia in Asia Minor, composed of the parts of more than one animal. It is usually depicted as a lion, with the head of a goat protruding from its back, and a tail that might end with a snake's head.

And according to the developers, the name is in accordance with the car appearance that has beautifully detailed strong and aggressive curves. The sports car developer further said that the Chimera was built in 2 models, where the first model was a car with a conventional engine taken from an Audi R8 car capable of producing power up to 1,200 horsepower.

While the next Chimera model is a sports car that uses electricity. This car is said to use a 1,000 hp electric motor and an energy storage system that was developed specifically with a battery that can last up to a thousand kilometers and its charge is returned in just half an hour. (Wow!) 😐 Besides that, the Chimera developer claims that a single battery charged can make this sports car travel thousands of kilometers. (Is it true?) 😉
And reportedly, when the prototype car conducted the tests on closed tracks in Spain managed to show a quite impressive performance, where the car is able to accelerate from rest to 100 kph in less than 3 seconds and a top speed limited to 350 kph. Unfortunately, there are no other detailed technical and performance data from this car.

Initial estimates, the cost for such a car will start from €700 thousand. And reportedly, the developers have received 10 orders in advance from the United Arab Emirates and the European Union. Andriy Dzhazovsky further said that Chimera had passed European certification. But it still has to pass the crashed and homologation test to start full-scale production of this car.
Of the two tested Chimera is a fully electric (all-wheel drive, four independent motors) powered by a battery with graphene modules. (Picture from: 24TV.ua)
Shortly after the first photo of Chimera appeared on the Internet, allegations of plagiarism came from Russia. With a reason, the car has a similar design with one called Lada Raven developed by AVTOvaz. But the Ukrainian sports car developer has denied all the allegations and claimed that he has a patent for the car designs.
Initially, the Chimera will be assembled entirely in Ukraine but is hindered by high taxes and a lack of infrastructure in the country. So then the production process carried out in Barcelona, Spain. It should be the end of 2017, this supercar has passed all of the tests and goes on sale. But until now there has never been more news about the Chimera supercar.
