    Halltech also have a car that does 0-60mph in 1.4 seconds.

    I know the barabus is lighter but 1.67 sounds very fast for a street car.
    Those may be street legal, and they may accelerate that quickly, but they're definitely not going to do both at the same time with rubber like that.

    Nah, dont believe that a car can hit 270 mph yet and hit 0 - 60 in less than 2 secs, the Bugatti Veyron is the most developed + powerful car on the roads now, and will stay like that for a long time, brabus are only saying the stats for the TKR to cause a hype about it and doubt about the bug

    The styling as previously stated is a complete and total rip off. Seems like some big numbers to claim from such a non-established company.

    it would be embarassing if it didnt stand up to its stats. the car is a total saleen S7 clone & how come there has been no news about it in the media?? their site doent even have any info on the barabus company.
    i think this site is a scam by some 16 yo kid.

    Basically, who gives a crap if it goes that quick. In theory anyone could do that with a big enough engine and a slippy body... it's cars that do it well that matter.

    In two years it will be gone and forgotten.

    You know what I think it is? Someone had an Ultima, like bling and Zondas, and then blinged up their Ultima

    Would you actually be able to react to anything when travelling at that speed?
    If Burnout Revenge is anything to go by (boost speed 205mph), you'd traffic check a few cars, pull off a vertical takedown and the die in a huge ball of flames

    It's a case of dumb and dumber... dumb if they did and dumber if they didn't!

    Something abut this car doesn't add up.

    I'm impressed nobody said a thing about the £360,000 price. It's ridiculous!

    I bet this will car will be history soon...

    I've designed a car that should top 300mph, and it will be priced at under $1,500. My secret? It's constructed entirely of the world's finest cheeses.

    The honeycomb spaceframe is to be constructed of aged romano, with Vermont white cheddar bodywork finished in the buyer's choice of colored waxes. The brakes will be made of pepperjack, and I'm sourcing a cast-gouda engine block and forged parmesean pistons and con-rods.
    The super-light Aged Swiss valves will be filled with curds and whey.

    I've recieved backing from several far-east organizations, and I will be sure to keep you posted about my upcoming trip to the Nardo high-speed bowl to try to crack 300mph.

    And I've got just as much right to make those claims as Barabus (Who the jews turned loose so they could kill Jesus, according to former actor Mel Gibson.)

    You jest, but since Kraft cheese slices are close enough to plastic anyway, you probably could use it in automotive construction
    Thanks for all the fish

    My engineers tried to work with Kraft American, but pasteurized "cheese product" really has no place in automobile construction except for possibly interior trim. In this case, American cheese would appear old-fashioned in such high-tech surroundings. We're working on a "brushed aluminum-effect" mozzarella for the instrument surrounds and... oh **** it.
