New videos posted by the manufacturer show an alleged production-spec prototype for the hypercar undergoing road and track testing.

Other quirks reportedly plagued the Sixteen, such as a tendency to overheat in normal driving scenarios. Steve Morris Engines, the company presumably responsible for the hypercar's V-16, posted a video in 2017. The claimed peak output of the engine is a staggering 5,007 hp and 3,757 lb-ft of torque.

Engineers also reportedly had difficulty figuring out how to keep the car on the ground, as it showed a penchant for taking flight at high speed. With the goal of reaching more than 300 mph, that's not a good problem to have.Incredibly, Devel in 2018 showed off a second model, a that can accelerate quicker than a sports car. There's no word on whether development of that model is still happening, though it's still featured on Devel's website.
