In case the Alieno firm doesn’t ring a bell, it is a hypercar producer primarily based close to town of Sliven in Bulgaria and based in 2015. Some 4 years in the past, it launched renderings of its first product, the Arcanum, but it surely by no means truly reached manufacturing. Now, Alieno has new renderings presenting its second mannequin and we now have the sensation it is going to stay purely digital as effectively.
Dubbed Unum, the automobile takes the form of what’s seemingly purported to be an electrical hypercar with apparent design influences from Lamborghini. The title of the automobile is derived from the Latin phrase “unum”, which implies “one.” Alieno describes it as “a two-door, two-seater robotic electrical hypercar” with the identical “alien” applied sciences as its predecessor, the Arcanum.

The Unum is envisioned in two variations. The primary one is named THF which stands for “The Heavenly Founder” and has a battery-powered electrical system. This electrical variant has 4 out there packages with the bottom one providing an output of – behold! – 2,610 horsepower (1,946 kilowatts), adopted by 3,482-hp (2,596-kW), 4,351-hp (3,244-kW), and the flagship 5,221-hp (3,893-kW) variations of the identical powertrain. If these figures aren’t spectacular sufficient (and fairly questionable), attempt to assimilate this – Alieno guarantees a high pace of effectively above 310 miles per hour (500 kilometers per hour).
The electrical power comes from graphene LiPo cells and supercapacitors with three out there variants relying on the capability – 180 kWh, 120 kWh, and 60 kWh. An 800-volt electrical structure ensures charging from 0 to 100% ought to take half-hour, 20 minutes, and 10 minutes respectively on a 350 kW charging station.
Whereas the Urum THF appears outlandish, the Urum TRS questions actuality. We needed to learn Alieno’s press launch twice to determine what precisely is powering this automobile and the simplest rationalization we may consider is a system consisting of 24 chilly air thrusters. Alieno calls this method an “octopus synergistic system” and says it makes use of the growth of pressurized gasoline to generate thrust and energy the hypercar.
No efficiency figures can be found however the firm says the compressed air is saved below a stress of as much as 700 bar in an air cylinder fabricated from composite supplies. A built-in electrical compressor or an exterior compressor cost the cylinder. Air from the compressor or cylinder might be additionally used to dry the street forward of the automobile’s tires on a wet day to forestall aquaplaning.
We predict we all know what you might be pondering by now – this factor doesn’t exist and can by no means do. We’re very skeptical too, however Alieno proudly says it already accepts orders and can construct the Unum solely by buyer pre-orders. The Urum THF has a base worth of €1.8 million ($1.84 million), whereas the thrust-powered Alieno TRS kicks off at €3.0 million ($3.07 million). Relying on the specification, the worth can go as excessive as €4.5 million ($4.61 million). The supply instances are 18 to 30 months, in response to the producer from Bulgaria.
