kingkarl 136 Report post Posted August 30, 2011 http://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/motoring...t-hypercar-hoax There are fast cars. There are powerful cars. And then there's this. German company RSC says it is working on a hypercar that has a claimed 0-600kmh time – yes, 600kmh – of 7.0 seconds. It can also apparently get to 300 kmh in the same amount of time it takes a Nissan GT-R or Porsche 911 Turbo S to get to 100kmh. RSC has reportedly been working on its upcoming radical racer since 2009, with a concept version of the car set to be unveiled at the Top Marques Monaco automotive expo in April 2012. So far, however, the brand has released just one teaser image of the new vehicle. The RSC website states the car will be powered by a 5.2-litre, quad-turbocharged, eight-rotor rotary engine producing 2089kW of power and 3494Nm of torque – or roughly five times the power and torque of a 911 Turbo S. The site's specifications sheet claims the engine will be mounted behind the seats, with power sent to all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. With such dramatic claimed outputs, it comes as no surprise that RSC is boasting some eye-wateringly quick sprint times, too, including a bottom-blistering 0-100kmh time of just 0.9 seconds. According to the website, the car will make it to production late in 2012, with a maximum of 12 units per year allowing the brand to ''fulfil our high pretence to exclusiveness''. This isn't the first time RSC has boasted about a car that hasn't yet been seen in the metal. Earlier this year the company touted its first effort, the Predator GT, which was said to be capable of 883kW of power and a 0-100kmh sprint time of less than 3.0 seconds. If RSC's claims about the new car - which is believed to be an evolution of the Predator GT - are true, then it should easily eclipse the current record for the fastest production car held by Bugatti's Veyron Super Sport (431.07kmh). We’ll believe it when we see it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deeveus 81 Report post Posted August 30, 2011 (edited) Are you sure it's not a detuned Kia Rio 1500cc DOHC common rail turbo diesel? If it's roadworthy and not on rails it would have to be one of those things I'd have to see to believe, keeping 4000nm on the road in a road car would require wheels wider than the road just for grip! They don't mention fuel consumption ratings? Edited August 30, 2011 by The Diesel Guy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael. 2313 Report post Posted August 30, 2011 5.2 liter 8 rotor. Hmmm good luck with that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melowpuf 19 Report post Posted August 30, 2011 (edited) Are the specs from when they first try to start the 8 rotor engine stuffed with 5.2 litres of C-4 and send the mr2 ferrari replica accelerating in all directions at 0-100km/h in 0.9 seconds.. I'm a little concerned the engine is/was sitting behind the seat... 10 Darwins per year... Waiting to see the launch.. would be awesome either way Edited August 30, 2011 by melowpuf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
