editIn July 2015,[4][5] Trion first unveiled the Nemesis as a full-scale concept model to the public, along with one of the intended drivetrains.[6][7][8] The car was initially intended to enter production in 2018.[9][10]
In January 2016, the Trion Nemesis RR was unveiled at the Silicon Valley Auto Show.[11] In November 2016, Trion Supercars displayed the Nemesis in the SEMA Show followed by the LA Auto Show.[citation needed]
The Trion Nemesis is planned to be produced as a street legal vehicle, aiming to become the fastest street legal car.[12] Pre-orders in 2016 had a base price of 1.6 million USD.[13]
The Nemesis RR is a mid-engine four wheel drive supercar, powered by a 9.0L twin turbocharged V8 engine capable of producing 2000 hp. Power will be channeled to all four wheels via an eight-speed sequential transmission. The RR will feature all wheel drive, traction management system and 10 speaker JBL sound system.
The Nemesis GT was expected to reach a top speed of 218 mph, accelerate from 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds, and deliver about 1400 horsepower. The base model started at 1.2 million USD.[13]
