Barabus TKR.....supposed to be going to take the crown from the Veyron!!

Barabus TKR takes over as world's fastest car? | Leftlane News - Car News For Enthusiasts

Specs: Barabus: 6.0 litre, 1005bhp, V8 twin turbo, rear wheel drive.

Veyron (from memory) 8 litre, 1001bhp, W16 quad turbo, 4 wheel drive.

Now.....I'm not doubting that this thing is going to be fast.....after all, the Ultima set the 0-100-0 record didn't it and it has a similar spec, but something like 640bhp (no turbos though were there?)

I cannot imagine that a rear wheel drive car is going to get sufficient traction (on road tyres) to make the 0-60 in under 2 seconds.....that's feckin quick!!!

Dragsters....no problem.....but they have HUGE slicks and launch like an Apollo space rocket.

Mind you.........IIRC....fastest car o-60 had NO WHEEL DRIVE!!!! Vanishing Point (Sammy Miller) 0-60 in 0.16 seconds (not a typo). I think it was doing over 120mph from standstill in the length of a double decker bus!!!!

Vanishing Point (rocket engined) did 0-300 in 3 seconds as well....

Whooooooooooooooo !!!!!!!!

Had to read it twice, as I thought it read Brabus.

Never heard of Barabus. Look more Kit car than production car.

While that is a light weight race/road car, the Bug is a luxury road car, that just happens to be quite fast !!!
I know which one I'd rather own. Just need a huge Lottery win to make it happen.

True, but if you wanted just the speed then theres this of course:

The ultima isn't far off the performance but is a long way off the price!!!!

1005bhp going through the Rear wheels!

AudiLover

Or even faster theres the gumpert apollo.

Anyway barabus TKR is just another of a long line of manufacturers who have cliamed to be able to go much faster than the veyron, yet never prove it.

If looks like a reworked Maclaren F1

To be fair only a ***** would keep referring to ****** in most of his 13 posts

Do us a favour, get off your keyboard and go do some shopping in Aldi

Top Fuel dragsters have circa 8,000BHP and run around the 4.5sec area over a quarter mile.................................
