The company\u2019s first car is simply called the Red. So here we have the Milan Red, which has already met with an interesting response sitting somewhere between it being described as ugly, genuine surprise and some raised eyebrows at the quoted figures. Judge for yourself…The Red is named after the Red Kite (though I\u2019m not sure why the \u2018kite\u2019 part has been omitted leaving just the colour) and will be a very limited edition of just 99 production vehicles.Rear wheel driven with an immense 1325bhp, the Red relies on a pure quad-turbo-charged 6.2-litre engine V8 engine which doesn\u2019t use any electric motors to aid power output. Expect the power to weight ratio to be better than good as the whole vehicle weighs in at a pretty lightweight 1,300kg thanks to a carbon-fibre construction. This light weight makes the most of all the power that the engine produces to simply accelerate; 0-62mph is likely to be around a mere 2.47 seconds while 0-124mph a paltry 5.5 seconds with a top speed of around 250mph.Milan\u2019s CEO Markus Fox says that the big plan for the Milan Red hypercar is to \u201csteal the show\u201d and with supercars like the Veyron in its sights, this is entirely possible if those figures prove to be accurate.The rear-wheel drive Red will have a 7-speed dual clutch transmission and will be an entirely street-legal sports car. It will feature wishbone suspension and come with 3 drive modes named after the car\u2019s bird of prey theme. On offer is a choice of Glide, Hunt or Attack mode, instead of something more familiar like a Sports mode for instance. Brembo carbon ceramic brakes will (try) to stop the Milan Red\u2019s 21-inch rear and 20-inch front alloy wheels from spinning.The Milan Red will sell for around $2.3 million and of the 99 hypercars due to be made, 18 are already pre-sold. I must say it certainly doesn\u2019t look ugly to me – futuristic and designed for a specific job, most definitely.Images: topgear.com"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Latest News","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Austrian Milan Red Hypercar","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/austrian-milan-red-hypercar\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
