Nilu27, the visionary hypercar brand founded by acclaimed designer Sasha Selipanov and Inna Selipanov, has announced a major expansion of its leadership team with the appointments of Simon Wรคgner as Chief Technology and Operating Officer and Alexander Hubbard-Ford as Chief Financial Officer. The move marks a pivotal step in Nilu27โs mission to redefine the hypercar experience through design excellence, engineering precision, and bold innovation.
The companyโs debut model, the NILU hypercar, has captured the imagination of collectors and enthusiasts worldwide. With 30% of its limited 69-unit production run already reserved, the car represents a fusion of performance artistry and technical mastery. Select clients can further personalize their experience through the Founderโs Edition Program, choosing either a road-legal or non-homologated configuration that stays true to the 2024 conceptโs uncompromising spirit.
Set to appear in a striking new “SUMAC Red” livery at the Concours at Wynn Las Vegas on November 1, 2025, the NILU will once again showcase Sashaโs unmistakable design language to an exclusive audience.
Bringing over 25 years of hypercar development expertise, Simon Wรคgnerโs career spans Porsche, Bugatti, and Koenigsegg, where he oversaw programs like the Chiron, Jesko, CC850, and Gemera. His longstanding collaboration with Sasha ensures a seamless continuation of their shared pursuit of perfection.
“Nilu27 isnโt here to play second fiddle to anyone,” says Sasha. “With Simon on board, our vision will be executed to standards that exceed even the toughest industry benchmarks.”
Joining him is Alexander Hubbard-Ford, a global finance expert with a 25-year track record managing multi-million-euro investments and international growth ventures. His leadership will guide Nilu27โs financial strategy and expansion across global markets.
Behind the scenes, Nilu27 is accelerating development at its new R&D and production headquarters in Lahr, Germany โ strategically located in the heart of Europeโs automotive hub. This facility, supported by local authorities, includes access to the nearby airport for vehicle testing and client engagement.
With a world-class team, strong financial foundation, and a state-of-the-art base of operations, Nilu27 is on course to unveil its first pre-production prototype in 2026 โ propelling the brand into the next chapter of the hypercar revolution.
