The Dubai-based Al Attar family is extremely wealthy, with business interests that include the Gevora Hotel, a one-time record holder for the world&#8217;s tallest hotel.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Devel Motors company website, the idea for such a manic vehicle was first conceived way back in 2006. That was shortly after the launch of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/category\/brand\/bugatti\/bugatti-veyron\/\">Bugatti Veyron<\/a>\u2014a hypercar whose power output might have served as an inspiration for the Devel Sixteen. Initial research and development kicked off a couple of years later, in 2008.<\/p>\n<p>Still, it was not until 2013 that a raw prototype was unveiled at that year&#8217;s edition of the Dubai International Auto Show. Devel Motors followed it up in 2015 with a reveal of the infamous 12.3-litre V16 engine that would supply the near-mythical five thousand horses. It further proved that the company was deathly serious about bringing its far-reaching dream to reality.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_412270\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-412270\" style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/3-Devel-Sixteen-V16-engine.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-412270\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/3-Devel-Sixteen-V16-engine.jpg\" alt=\"Devel Sixteen 5,007 hp V16 powerhouse\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/3-Devel-Sixteen-V16-engine.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/3-Devel-Sixteen-V16-engine-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/3-Devel-Sixteen-V16-engine-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/3-Devel-Sixteen-V16-engine-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/3-Devel-Sixteen-V16-engine-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/3-Devel-Sixteen-V16-engine-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/3-Devel-Sixteen-V16-engine-293x165.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/3-Devel-Sixteen-V16-engine-1400x788.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-412270\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image Via: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stevemorrisengines.com\/images\/managed\/Dyno-8.jpg\">Steve Morris Engines<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In November 2017, the production series Devel Sixteen made an appearance again at the Dubai motor show. At the event, the carmaker claimed the car would be able to punch past 300 mph, helped along by its colossal engine. At the time, Mr. Al Attar was confident the car would be fully ready for the first customer deliveries within the next 12\u201318 months.

As it turned out, building a 5,000-hp car is no &#8216;walk in the park.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>In the beginning, Devel Motors issued a clear statement of intent by partnering with some pretty big names in the automobile industry. There was Manifattura Automobili Torino (MAT), an Italian motorsports powerhouse behind the development of extreme cars like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/2015-scg-003s\/\">Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus SCG 003<\/a> and the Apollo Intensa Emozione. Another subcontractor for the Devel project was Steve Morris Engines (SME), a US-based custom engine builder saddled with the task of building the powerplant.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_412271\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-412271\" style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/4-Devel-Sixteen.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-412271\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/4-Devel-Sixteen.jpg\" alt=\"Extreme design profile of the Devel Sixteen\" width=\"1920\" height=\"984\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/4-Devel-Sixteen.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/4-Devel-Sixteen-300x154.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/4-Devel-Sixteen-1024x525.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/4-Devel-Sixteen-100x51.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/4-Devel-Sixteen-770x395.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/4-Devel-Sixteen-1536x787.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/4-Devel-Sixteen-293x150.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/4-Devel-Sixteen-1400x718.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-412271\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image Via: <a href=\"https:\/\/assets.newatlas.com\/dims4\/default\/9b446f7\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/2048x1050+0+0\/resize\/1920x984!\/quality\/90\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnewatlas-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2F3a%2F08%2F0f2542934610a027e866202a82d7%2F57419022-1054793154722202-5342453087271387136-n.jpg\">New Atlas.<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It seemed that the project was off to a strong start. However, transitioning from a prototype to a production-ready car is a massive undertaking for startup companies, and Devel Motors was no exception. First, news leaked that one of the major partners, Manifattura Automobili Torino, had pulled out of the project. Then there were issues with the engine itself.<\/p>\n<p>The main challenges centred around how to adapt the 5,000-hp powerplant, a unit primarily designed for drag racing, for use in a road car. There were also questions about keeping the car planted on the ground during Vmax runs, a very valid consideration since the Devel Sixteen had a claimed top speed in excess of 300 mph.<\/p>\n<p>The project faced the possibility of outright cancellation on different occasions, but to give credit to the principal backers, they kept at it and worked through most of the challenges. In a 2021 &#8216;proof of life&#8217; video clip on the company&#8217;s Youtube channel, the Devel Sixteen was seen undergoing advanced testing somewhere in Italy. It was another big step forward for Devel Motors, eventually leading to the first customer unit handover in July 2022.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">The Devel Sixteen Variants<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_412273\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-412273\" style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/6-Devel-Sixteen.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-412273\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/6-Devel-Sixteen.jpg\" alt=\"Fighter Jet-style exhausts on the Devel Sixteen\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/6-Devel-Sixteen.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/6-Devel-Sixteen-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/6-Devel-Sixteen-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/6-Devel-Sixteen-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/6-Devel-Sixteen-770x513.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/6-Devel-Sixteen-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/6-Devel-Sixteen-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/6-Devel-Sixteen-1155x770.jpg 1155w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/6-Devel-Sixteen-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/6-Devel-Sixteen-293x195.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/6-Devel-Sixteen-1400x933.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-412273\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image Via: <a href=\"https:\/\/assets.newatlas.com\/dims4\/default\/ed67786\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/1944x1296+0+0\/resize\/1920x1280!\/quality\/90\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnewatlas-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2F72%2F75%2F92d604f5430e813f686be2dc285c%2F57540165-1054826708052180-402548829179609088-n.jpg\">New Atlas<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The hypercar&#8217;s design was influenced by fighter jets, and that theme is evident in the cockpit design and two F-15 jet-style exhaust ports at the rear.

The main differentiating factors are the powertrain choices and pricing.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s the &#8216;entry-level&#8217; Devel Sixteen\u2014if you can call it that.

The other two variants, both road-legal, are priced at $1.6 and $1.8 million.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to note that these were the quoted prices as far back as 2019.
