Boasting a host of all-new technology, stratospheric performance numbers, and paint you'll want for your next car (no really, read on), the 2215 Cipher C1 is the hypercar of hypercars. And that last phrase did not come from Cipher themselves.
This one did:
'A lottery is won with the right combination of numbers.' The philosophy that governed over development of Cipher's entry into the world hypercar battle royale was simple: build a car with a winning combination of numbers. Minimal weight and high power, low center of mass with large amounts of downforce, negligible emissions with considerable range. The end result is one of the most connecting rides between man and machine, and is a serious contender for being the standard of what a next-gen hypercar should be.
And Cipher has got what it takes to back up the words, with Adaptive Aluminum being the star of the show. According to the marque, this aluminum can change almost immediately to handle the ever-increasing power and give just as much. The unique material is used in the block, which can expand from 4.8 to 7.2 liters, the gearbox, and the two giant snails in the engine bay. Horsepower grows as the engine expands, and at max expansion can deliver 1,265 on biofuel. An electric motor fills blank spots in the torque curve and adds 500 hp to bring the max horsepower total to an ungodly one thousand seven hundred sixty-five.
But all that power would make Jack an uncontrollable boy. But again, Cipher delivers, with active aero unlike anything seen before or since. Per Cipher's PR:
In a nutshell the C1 can lower or heighten the suspension and change the pitch of the front splitter and open or close ducts as needed to affect the air flowing both over and under the car. The rear spoiler's wings can move independently ( HOLY SHIT!!! ) ; altering their position to create downforce on turns or reduce drag for long straits
The computers are sophisticated, too. Again, quoting the PR:
The software developed for the C1 assists the driver to extract every iota of performance available out of the C1. The computers that oversee the C1's variable suspension, drivetrain, and active aerodynamics survey and calculate the wheel position, g-force, track/road surfaces, air flow, pressure, and many other parameters in real time.
And the best part? None of the tech is dumbing down the car. Rather, it's merely distilling the experience.
Oh, and did I mention the paint? Yes, the paint. It's an absolute beast . The clear coat, in particular, regenerates like fibroblasts, keeping both the skin smooth to reduce drag and the paint pristine. Maybe Torchinsky was part of the research team.
!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! 's marque has already produced hard-hitting, award-winning models, and I doubt !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! wouldn't be. On the contrary, it could be the most legendary hypercar of the 23rd Century.

P.S.: Raphy, Sharpspeed, send this to Tommy. Tell him it came from me, Hector Vector, because I can't comment on his posts anymore. Bring this
along with my warmest regards and hopes that one day I can comment on his photos again and get my marque on his paddock build. My twin and single !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! -powered cars are ready.

Soon.

So good. Did you apply for that LEGO job that popped up around here a few months back? I think it was in Denmark, so there's that...

This isn't mine. I've linked the Flickr account of the guy who built this model. I merely blogged it here.

Gotcha. I love these little creations...
