Enosichthon Keteus V14 E Hybrid is a three seat electrified hybrid hypercar prototype that distils Poseidon myth into a disciplined trident based grammar, informed by abstract marine biomimicry. Three force lines organise structure, aerodynamics, lighting and cabin layout into one readable system. A Nereid hybrid architecture with an integrated inverted electrode cell coordinates energy delivery and thermal management. Detachable, replaceable body modules enable rapid inspection and service for track focused professional use.

Unique Properties
Enosichthon is an original three seat e hybrid hypercar prototype, named after a title of Poseidon in Greek mythology. It is shaped by a proprietary trident grammar, a design language made for this project, and carried through the car as one system. It uses the Nereid hybrid system with three inverted high rate NCA battery modules and coordinated hybrid energy management. Most body modules are detachable and replaceable for quick maintenance and inspection, defining a new track driving concept.
Dimensions & Packaging
Product dimensions: 5598 mm x 2114 mm x 1275 mm. Wheelbase 3387 mm, ground clearance 80 mm, spoiler span 1972 mm. Three seat layout. Forged carbon and carbon fibre bodywork. Centre console in black ceramic glass. Steering wheel and key use magnetic recognition. Continuous aerodynamic package. Hybrid system uses three inverted high rate NCA battery modules, tuned for burst and range, coordinated by the Nereid electrical control box, balancing sustained electric cruising with instantaneous assist.

Production Technology
Enosichthon is developed using advanced 3D modelling, aerodynamic concepting, and the controlled translation of myth and marine biology into contemporary form. Its architecture is conceived as one system, balancing a three seat layout with a powerful combustion core and an electric drive concept. Great care is taken with panel alignment, surface curvature, airflow management, and the integration of structure, lighting, and materials. The result is expressive, technically grounded, and feasible.
Design Challenge
The greatest challenge was executing the entire project solo, while fusing biological motifs such as the humpback tail, megalodon teeth, gill structures and squid arm crown forms with an original trident grammar and a coherent narrative background. In parallel, a highly detailed hybrid powertrain, suspension architecture and cockpit design were developed, keeping the whole system consistent through continuous iteration and review. The process was demanding, yet deeply meaningful and valuable.
Project Duration
Enosichthon was initiated on 28 June 2025 in Hangzhou, China. The modelling phase began on 7 September 2025 and concluded on 4 January 2026, with final renders completed on 17 February 2026. The project was developed entirely remotely using Autodesk Maya and Unreal Engine. From start to finish, the production process was continuously documented, with working files and backups maintained throughout the development period.
Operation Flow
Enosichthon is simple to use. Detachable modules speed inspection and can reduce service cost. Steering wheel controls include a Mode button with three settings, letting drivers choose energy use and tailpipe output. Eco is Nereid led pure electric drive, blocking fuel and engine response. Sport runs managed hybrid distribution. Corsa prioritises the Keteus V14, while Nereid provides power, recovery and torque assist. The key docks magnetically to start. One touch switches the rear view feed.
Research
Research for this project began with a modern reinterpretation and synthesis of classical mythology and marine biology, then moved into comparative studies of hypercar proportion, airflow paths, and three seat packaging. Iteration in Autodesk Maya and Unreal Engine tested how a trident grammar could remain coherent across surfaces, structure, and lighting while supporting a hybrid power core concept.
Inspiration
Aftershock, driving into a new era. Enosichthon draws inspiration from Greek mythology and a wide range of marine life. Its form and structural architecture reinterpret Poseidon's trident, Hermes' winged sandals, a humpback whale tail, a giant squid arm crown, shark fins, megalodon teeth, and Skolopendra like tentacles, shaping these motifs into a cohesive, contemporary expression that feels both mythical and alive. It translates narrative and biology into modern lines, volumes, and flow.
