Nitrium Z KilonovaRace Motors Photon

The **Nitrium Z Hypernova** and formerly **Project Luminous**, is a high performance, track oriented prototype Hypercar designed by Race Motors and Nitrium Z Motors. The design was made in part by Race Motors, and mostly by Nitrium Z Motors, while the overall car was developed by Nitrium Z Motors. Race Motors designed the aero package for the car.

The car is mostly a continuation of the Kilonova's design, with the same general chassis, but combined with the older Concept form from 2018. Instead of being truly high speed oriented, the car is designed around aerodynamic efficiency and effectiveness, where it has as much downforce as possible with the least drag. The car is aiming to compete in International Touring Car Division 1.

Each car costs about $7,350,000, and only 5 will be produced.

## Design

Utilizing the Kilonova's chassis, the car is a heavily modified body, with extra aerodynamic components, and altered general design to match the previous Hyper Nova Concept. Consisting of a huge Venturi Tunnel, the car utilizes mass amounts of ground effect to prevent excessive drag. The car also uses front canards and diveplanes based on the newer Race Motors X1GR Evolution, and hidden intakes around the car to prevent cooling drag from appearing.

The rear of the car is possibly the most unique part, where it somewhat lacks a rear, just like the concept, but is instead also compensated for a huge fin, and a large diffuser that makes use of the Venturi Tunnel. Also on the car is 2 sets of wing elements, the winglets formerly used to recognize the previous Hyper Nova, along with a smaller secondary wing that stretches across the width of the car, and into the bottom half, also using the sharkfin to its advantage.

An interesting quirk about the car, and the cause for the high price and small production number, is that the carbon fibre the car is built with, are infused with synthetic, lab grown diamonds. It is said that the car uses a little over 24 thousand diamonds, per panel, which is an extraordinary number, and why every car takes months to build.

## Performance

The Hypernova uses a modified version of the Kilonova powertrain. Significantly downtuned for safety and drivability, the car has slower performance figures overall, but will benefit from a much longer runtime, along with dual large magnesium batteries in place of the very large single lithium-ion battery. The car is still RWD, and the batteries are placed at the rear, right behind the driver, to give the perception that the car orbits around the driver.

Performance - 138 BPS, 0-36 in 2.10s.

Race Motors X1GR

The **Nitrium Z Hyper Nova Concept** was an experimental high performance hypercar designed by Race Motors and Nitrium Z Motors. General design and chassis by RM, but overall developed by Nitrium Z Motors.

The car carries a striking resemblance to the Race Motors X1GR, as they share the same platform, chassis and nearly the same design. Race Motors designed the aero package for the car, with highly optimized winglets and tunnels inside the "bottom" of the car which redirect air and generate ground effect. It reaches a top speed of 145 BPS, and 0-36 in 1.90s.
