The Devel Sixteen is a mid-engine hypercar concept designed in the United Arab Emirates by Devel Motors. Devel Motors claims that the quad-turbo V16 engine fitted to the car would be the fastest car in the world. Devel claims that the Sixteen can produce at 5,007 horsepower (hp) and claims a top speed of 350 mph (560 km/h) as the car can supposedly pull off a 0 to 60 mph time of 1.8 seconds; its announced base version price ranged from US$1.7 million to over $2 million.[2]

According to Devel Motors, three models of the Sixteen are planned: a base model with a V8 engine producing around 1,500–2,000 hp (1,100–1,500 kW; 1,500–2,000 PS);[3][4] a version with a V16 engine producing around 3,006 hp (2,242 kW; 3,048 PS) and 2,407 lb⋅ft (3,263 N⋅m) of torque;[1] and a track-only version with a quad-turbo V16 engine producing 5,007 hp (3,734 kW; 5,076 PS)[3][4] and 3,757 lb⋅ft (5,094 N⋅m) of torque.[3] In June 2022, one Sixteen with a V8 engine was produced, but its performance is not yet confirmed.[5]
