# Mindblowing Hypercar Concepts The Akylone is One of the Most Advanced Hypercar Concepts Out There By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2014-05-27 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/akylone References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/2015-genty-akylone-hypercar-concept/32234/) & [genty-automobile](http://www.genty-automobile.com/en/index.html) French boutique high-performance car manufacturer Genty Automobile has released details of the 2015 Akylone concept, a [supercar concept](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vita-nova) for the ages. This hyper car will be fitted with a 366 CID V8 twin turbo engine that will bust out an incredible 1,200 brake horsepower and enable the Akylone to simply fly from zero to 100 km/h in an astonishing 2.7 seconds. The vehicle's top speed is estimated at around 354 km/h, making it more than 'just' a supercar but [a hypercar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreame-technology-hypercar). The Akylone's chassis will be constructed from a composite of aluminum and [carbon fiber](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2027-bentley-continental-gt-supersports), which will make it extremely lightweight at around 1,100 kg. Although the Akylone is currently purely a concept, Genty Automobile has employed a company to assess their project and look into whether it fits road use requirements. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Hypercar Concepts:** Manufacturers are creating hypercars that offer incredible acceleration and top speeds, providing an opportunity for advancement in automotive engineering and design. - **Lightweight Car Chassis:** The development of composites, such as aluminum and carbon fiber, have enabled car manufacturers to make vehicles even lighter and more fuel-efficient. - **Turbo Engines:** Twin turbo engines that produce high horsepower are becoming more common in hypercars and sports cars, providing an opportunity for innovations in engine design and technologies. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Automotive:** Automotive companies that focus on the production of high-performance cars or vehicles with lightweight, aerodynamic designs will benefit from these trends. - **Composite Manufacturing:** Manufacturers of composite materials like aluminum and carbon fiber will see increased demand due to their lightweight properties. - **Performance Engine Manufacturing:** There is an opportunity for manufacturers to develop innovative engine technologies to produce twin turbo engines that are both powerful and fuel-efficient. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hybrid-System Futuristic Hypercar Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedesamg-one.md) - [Hydrogen-Powered Hypercar Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alpenglow-hypercar.md) - [Monstrously Powerful Megacars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/megacar.md) - [Electrified Supercar Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nissan-hyper-force.md) - [Ultra-Fast Wishbone Hypercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pagani.md) - [High-Performance Electric Hypercar Prototypes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-hypercar-prototype.md) - [Ultra-Premium Electric Hypercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hiphi-a.md) - [Agile Off-Road Hypercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laffite-atrax.md) - [Ultra-Advanced Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/koenigsegg-sadairs-spear.md)
