Worlds fastest street legal car
« on: April 13, 2008, 02:44:25 PM »
Replacement car?
This should fit the bill nicely

Bugatti Veyron 16.4


and with almost 1,000 horsepower.
It should be able to get you outof trouble faster then you got into it LOL
How does 0-100 Km in 2.5 seconds grab you?

"Its 8.0-liter 16-cylinder engine has four turbochargers and produces 740 kilowatts (1001 metric horsepower, or 987 hp). And you want torque? How does 1250 newton-meters sound? The car reaches 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds from a standing start, and 300 km/h in 16.7 seconds. It has a top speed of 408 km/h"

The Veyron racing the Eurofighter is very well done:

Aircraft-car races are such hokey crap.  But nevertheless fun to watch.   :rock

Shelby Supercars (SSC), manufacturer of the ultra high-performance Ultimate Aero Twin Turbo, set the new "World's Fastest Production Car" record earlier today with an average top speed of 256.18 mph. Confident of the 1183 hp vehicle's abilities, SSC set out to validate their top speed claim in accordance with the strict guidelines set by Guinness World Records. Among other requirements, in order to meet Guinness' approval, a vehicle testing for the top speed record must drive down the course, turn around, and make a second pass in the opposite direction within one hour. The vehicle’s official "top speed" is calculated by averaging the top speeds of each pass in order to negate any favorable road or weather conditions. Today, on a temporarily-closed 2 lane stretch of public highway in Washington State, the Ultimate Aero posted a top speed of 257.41 mph (414.31 kph) on its first pass and 254.88 mph (410.24 kph) on its return pass, yielding a new top speed record: a staggering 256.18 mph (412.28 kph).

This breaks the current official record held by the Koenigsegg CCR at 242 mph by 11.83 mph and the Bugatti Veyron's unofficial speed of 253 mph by 3.14 mph.

Holden beat me to it, but as far as the Bugatti, this one's priceless:

Koenigsegg CCX

So now we have the three 250+ mph cars represented. The Veyron and Shelby look very nice indeed, but personally I think the Koenigsegg CCX looks the coolest. It looks like a B-2 bomber on wheels!

It's a bit curious that the Shelby uses almost 400 hp more than the Koenigsegg to go 6 mph faster...

And the Saleen uses 150 less HP and goes just 2 mph slower than the Koenigegg.

And I'll probably never see an example of either.

However I once got a ride in on of these:



1/2 the price, faster, and no tickets.  And you can roll it without scratching the paint.

Purdy. I've always loved cruisers like that.

Personal favourite is the Europa, mono-wheel configuration.
