The Trion Nemesis RR would be competing with the likes of the Bugatti Chiron and the Koenigsegg One:1.

Trion-nemesis RR

The Trion Nemesis is planned to be produced as a street legal vehicle, aiming to become the fastest street legal car.

The Trion Nemesis RR is currently taking preorders, with the base price set at 1.6 million USD.[15]

Black Ops Edition

Trion announced a special version of the Nemesis RR called Black Ops edition, which has several more features and a "predator mode". The predator mode changes interior lighting, engine rev, and suspension to make the car appear more powerful. The Black Ops edition will also include additional aesthetic changes.

The Black Ops Edition is priced at 1.98 million USD.[15][16]

Trion Supercars also plans to produce another sports car, the Nemesis GT. The Nemesis GT is 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 starts at 1.2 million USD.[15]
