faster than bugatti veyron ***(pics)***

Hennessey is making no performance claims this early in the car's life, but can't resist reeling off a few numbers. He would like to see it get from rest to 200mph in around 15 seconds (the Veyron is 24, remember), and he mentions that the car is geared for a theoretical maximum of 272mph.

so sweeeeet

It will be interesting to see if these claims will be achievable and the car will in fact be, most importantly, drivable. I've heard the Veyron is garbage through any type of corner.

And to be honest, I don't like the long-wheelbase Exige look either.

not a huge fan of the lotus look, but that has to have one amazing engine in it :shock:

It's like a lotus-batmobile hybrid.

Not a fan. Way too wild looking for my taste. I prefer the clean classic styling of Ferrari and Astin Martin.

I don't think it would be physically possible to go that fast in that short amount of time...There would be no way to get traction.spazzx625

If only it was actually worth it. It can drive fast, but who is ever going to be able to actually use it's power? I highly doubt anyone will need to go 252 mph. We don't all live by the German Autobahn. Ghost_702

The German police will arrest anyone on the Autobahn that does 252 mph.:P:lol:

I thought Veyron is claimed to be drivable compare to other cars.magicalclick

tell that to this guy

[QUOTE="rawsavon"][QUOTE="F1_2004"] I believe an F1 car does 0-300 km/hr in ~9seconds. 200 mph is bout 320. Obviously the tires and aerodynamics are totally different, but it is very possible depending on the setup to get 300+ km/hrin under 15s.F1_2004

[QUOTE="magicalclick"] Well, is he a pro? Many noobs crashed Enzo as well.magicalclick

Right. You're forgetting hennesey isn't a brand, and that is not a production car it's a modded lotus with an enormous engine shoveled in... if anything, i'd wage HPF's M3 E46 turbo would woop this thing to the moon. on the dyno it does 0-200mph in 9 seconds, on the road about 14, and if it didn't have the crummy rear diff and instead had a competition E36 one it would easily fly over 250mph. HPF Stage 4 doing 1246HP, 1022RWHP

Stage 4 doing 173 mph on the road

don't forget about the SCC ultimate aero, THAT is the fastest car in the world, not the veyron.

Looks absolutely beast.

According to one of the Youtube comments, the same guy lent his Ferrari Enzo to a friend, and he wrecked that as well. The guy just has bad luck with cars. I can't imagine what his insurance rates are.

I'd take a 458 over that any day

I'll pass on this one. Do not want it.

it's horsepower must be OVER 9000!!!!!!!

Looks nice, but I doubt it could handle itself on the roads, with street tyres, probably have to keep it at low revs constantly.
