We expected that there would be the most insanely ridiculous cars at the Dubai International Motor Show's opening day today. But we really didn't see anything like this coming. 

The vicious-looking images you're seeing are the Devel Sixteen. As you can see on the walls behind it in the photos, it apparently has 5,000 horsepower, has a top speed of 560 km/h, which translates to about 348 mph, and that it gets to 60 mph in 1.8 seconds. Now, this information is coming from Shmee150, who shot the video below, but the actual website for Devel has practically nothing on it. All it says is "The Devel Sixteen is created with the passion of making this car a Legend in the history of Super Cars." It also has a slider that says "Simply Beyond Extreme," and "Unmatched Power and Performance."

Reportedly, the car has a V16 engine, hence the name, and we can't help but wonder if it has a quad-turbo set up like the Bugatti? Maybe? We say that and immediately want to scratch it out with our pencil, because Bugattis are 1/5 of that horsepower.

As far as the looks go, snap reactions drive us straight to the Pagani Zonda and the Lamborghini Veneno and Egoista. It has gullwing doors and what look like two rockets coming out of the rear. We've reached out, and we'll let you know more when it comes in. Until then ... you can remain in the confusing darkness like us.
