Silliest performance car ever.

Recommended Posts

Sounds like a 13 year old boys wet dream, and likely is.

2500hp, 300mph, 0-100 in 1.2s, 1/4 mile in 6.6s, 9.4 litre TT V8.

They spoke about this on Top Gear either last week or the week beforehand

Sounded like the specs were the goals, rather than what it can do ;)

I wonder what kind of g-forces a car pulls while accelerating 0-100kph in 1.2seconds

i so doubt it can accel at 1.2 secs... would not have traction

agreed!

even F1 cars with launch control would struggle to make that figure.

All the data on this car seems to be theoretical.

American, sums up the claims.

I think it's beautiful none the less.

A top fuel dragster accelerates from a standstill to 100 mph (160 km/h) in as little as 0.7 seconds

Who needs traction when you can chuck a couple of JATO's behind the license plate....

Speaking of which, who watched Mythbusters on Monday, OMG the car cutting sled!!!

A top fuel drag cars also run on a VHT prepared dragstrip using purpose made tyres to gain that traction, not to mention diff, gearbox etc, etc, etc...

It is beautiful never the less.

no one said they didn't do the testing on a prep'd track with drag tyres...

no-one said that they have even built one. all their stated "facts" are "goals".

those are all digital renders.

Haven't built one, haven't tested one.

I honestly hope they build this thing and it is that fast.

But it wouldn't be the first supercar to have it's performance exaggerated to boost interest.
