  • The world's new fastest car!

    Yes, it looks like this is the Bugatti slayer, and at half the price too!

    Do we have your attention? The Barabus "1005 bhp" supercar we've been updating you on has finally been unveiled and the details on this machine are astounding. It's a true Italian-built exotic, though its twin-turbo 6.0-liter V8 that produces 1005 bhp is sourced from the U.K. According to Barabus, that motor will propel the all carbon-fiber car (body and chassis) to 60 mph in a mere 1.67 seconds, and on to a top speed of 270 mph. For those who didn't think this supercar was meant to be a Bugatti Veyron slayer, the new Barabus website that just went live today states, "The TKR is designed to compete with the world's fastest, quickest, best handling, most luxurious grand touring cars in the world" (our emphasis). Barabus will be producing 300-400 TKRs over a three-year production period, and fetching one will cost you £360,000. A sharp bargain compared to the Veyron's £600,000 (USD$1.1 million) asking price.

            if its rwd, then im with him^^

            however if its awd, i could see it being possible. im sure it is probably 2/3 the weight of the heavy veyron.

              how about a corvette that does 0-60 in 1.4?

              http://www.z06-corvette.com/super/halltech.htm

              not technically a 'production' car, but still pretty damn quick.

              there was a magazine that tested a twin turbo vette a year or so ago that did it around 1.5 also, i though it was an LPE TT but i haven't been able to find the info on it again.

                but is there proof that the 0-60s are that low, like actual track times, or is that just theoretical bc i have a hard time believing it
