The RIP crew sits down with Devon from Skorost Auto — the young founder with a wild deadline: build a prototype hypercar in just one year and unveil it at Monterey Car Week 2026. Together, we break down where the name “Skorost” came from, the spark that is pushing him from sketches to a real build, and the gritty reality of trying to launch a hypercar brand out of nothing. We dig into CAD models, carbon dreams, and the all-nighters in the shop, plus the pressure of matching legends like Koenigsegg and Pagani who started in the same underdog lane. Devon opens up about investors, timelines, and whether a one-off prototype can actually shake Monterey’s hypercar elite, a true battle of David versus Goliath.
