You are about to watch a brand you have never heard of roll a nearly 1,900 horsepower hypercar onto the brightest tech stage in the world, and that mystery is exactly the point. A Chinese startup called Kosmera is preparing to unveil an all-electric prototype at CES that promises performance figures to rival the wildest exotics on the planet, yet it arrives with almost no public history, no heritage, and very few hard details. For anyone who cares about where high performance and high tech collide, this reveal is less about one car and more about how quickly the hypercar rulebook is being rewritten.
The secretive players behind Kosmera’s 1,877‑HP gamble
You are not supposed to know much about Kosmera yet, and that deliberate opacity is part of the intrigue. What you can piece together is that the company is positioning its debut as a “new energy hypercar” with a combined output of up to 1,877 horsepower, a figure that instantly drops it into the same conversation as the most extreme electric machines on sale or in development. Reporting credits the teaser to Dec and notes that writer Michael Gauthier highlighted how Kosmera is leaning on that headline number to stand out in a CES landscape already crowded with concept cars and speculative mobility projects. For a startup, promising that kind of output is a bold way to tell you it wants to be taken seriously from day one.
Behind the curtain, you can see hints of who is actually pulling the strings. A separate look at the same mystery Chinese hypercar effort points out that the PR manager is identified as Wang Shifu and the CEO is listed simply as Winter, details that surface through contact information rather than splashy biographies, which is why the report literally notes that There are only a few clues to go on. The same piece flags that The PR contact, Wang Shifu, and CEO Winter are fronting not just one but two 1,877 horsepower electric prototypes, which suggests Kosmera is thinking in terms of a family of vehicles rather than a single halo car. For you as a potential buyer or just a fascinated observer, that means this is not a one-off stunt, at least on paper, but the opening move in a broader push.
Why CES became the launchpad for a hypercar with no history
If you are wondering why a company with supercar ambitions is choosing a tech expo instead of a traditional auto show, you only need to look at how CES has evolved into a de facto motor show for the software age. Kosmera is explicitly framing its debut as a CES 2026 event, with a formal CES 2026 Preview that describes how the Kosmera Prototype Debuts, Redefining the Intelligent Hypercar, and leans heavily on the word Prototype to underline that this is as much a rolling research lab as it is a showpiece. The language around an intelligent hypercar and a race ready chassis setup is designed to tell you that this car is as much about computing power, sensors, and connectivity as it is about raw acceleration. In that context, CES is less a gimmick and more the natural arena for a machine that wants to be judged on its chips as much as its cylinders, or in this case, its motors.
CES has also become the place where nontraditional players try to crash the automotive party, which makes Kosmera’s choice of venue feel even more strategic. You can already see that pattern in how Dreame, a company better known for vacuum cleaners, is using the same show to tease an electric supercar that is reported to exceed 1,000 horsepower, with The CES 2026 debut framed as the next step in Dreame’s broader automotive ambitions. Previous coverage of Dreame’s plans even talks about a second car positioned as a Cullinan rival, which shows you how consumer electronics brands now see ultra luxury and ultra performance as adjacent opportunities. For Kosmera, sharing the floor with Dreame and other tech-first entrants is a way to signal that it belongs in that new ecosystem rather than in the old guard of combustion-era supercar makers.
How Kosmera’s numbers stack up against today’s electric titans
When you hear a startup promise 1,877 horsepower, your instinct is to compare it with the benchmarks you already know, and that is where the story gets even more interesting. Electric hypercars have been steadily pushing the ceiling, with Deus Automobiles, for example, unveiling the Deus Vayanne at the New York International Auto Show and targeting a top speed of 248 mph. Later coverage of The Deus Vayanne goes further, calling it the world’s most powerful electric hypercar and stating that it produces an incredible 2200HP, with only 99 units planned. Against that backdrop, Kosmera’s 1,877 horsepower figure does not claim the absolute crown, but it plants the car firmly in the same rarefied air, especially if production numbers end up being similarly limited.
You can also look at how established design houses have approached this power race to understand what Kosmera is up against. The Pininfarina Battista has been widely described as a 1900HP electric revolution, with one detailed video review literally titled Pininfarina Battista, Electric Hypercar That Will Dominate, and another first drive piece from Feb presenting the 2025 Pininfarina Battista as a 1900HP Electric Revolution in a Feb walkthrough. When you line those numbers up, Kosmera’s claimed output sits just a hair below the Battista and below The Deus Vayanne, but still well above the 1,000 horsepower threshold that once defined the outer edge of supercar performance. For you, that means this mysterious CES car is not just playing catch up, it is aiming to run with the leaders from the moment the covers come off.
The Dreame factor and the new tech‑to‑track pipeline
To really grasp why Kosmera’s appearance at CES matters, you should zoom out and look at the broader wave of tech companies turning their hardware and software expertise into high performance cars. Dreame is the clearest example of this shift, with one report explaining that the vacuum legend is teasing a 1,000+ HP EV that uses its record fast electric motors, with the car Teased for an announcement at CES and explicitly described as an electric motor showcase. That same coverage underlines that Dreame’s electric sports car will have 1,000 horsepower of combined output, which is a direct translation of its consumer appliance engineering into automotive performance. When you see Dreame and Kosmera sharing the CES spotlight, you are really watching the birth of a tech-to-track pipeline where companies treat hypercars as the ultimate demo units for their core technologies.
For you as an enthusiast, this shift changes what you look for in a spec sheet. Instead of asking only about displacement or cylinder count, you start paying attention to inverter design, battery chemistry, and the software that orchestrates torque delivery, because those are the areas where a company like Dreame or Kosmera can differentiate itself. The Dreame coverage that mentions Dec as the moment the teaser surfaced and highlights how the electric sports car is spun from record fast motors shows that even the marketing language is now rooted in engineering specifics rather than vague lifestyle promises. Kosmera’s own CES 2026 Preview, which talks about a Prototype and an intelligent hypercar with a race ready chassis, fits that same pattern, inviting you to judge the car as a piece of advanced hardware as much as a piece of sculpture.
What you should watch for when the covers finally come off
When Kosmera finally rolls its hypercar onto the CES stage, you will want to look past the headline figure and focus on the details that determine whether this is a serious program or a fleeting concept. Pay attention to how clearly the company explains its powertrain layout, battery capacity, and charging strategy, because those are the areas where other electric hypercars like the Battista and The Deus Vayanne have already set expectations. Notice whether Kosmera talks about production timelines, homologation plans, and how many examples it intends to build, since limited runs like the 99 units of The Deus Vayanne have become a way to balance exclusivity with the realities of bringing such complex machines to market. If the company is vague on those points, you can reasonably treat the car as a technology demonstrator rather than a near term purchase opportunity.
You should also watch how Kosmera positions itself relative to the broader Chinese EV landscape that has already produced everything from mass market crossovers to exotic gullwing SUVs like the HiPhi X, which appears in the same report that mentions Mortgage Rates Fall Off a Cliff to a 3 Year Low and Finally Time to Refi as unrelated ad copy wrapped around the hypercar story. That juxtaposition is a reminder that you are seeing this car not in a vacuum but in a crowded, fast moving market where new brands appear alongside financial pitches and consumer tech. If Kosmera can cut through that noise with a coherent vision, credible specs, and a clear path from Prototype to production, then its 1,877 horsepower CES debut could mark the moment you start taking yet another new badge very seriously.
