This has to be worth posting ! New Vmax Topspeed record at Brunters of 222mph roof up & 210mph roof down. Its punching 1120bhp. :smokin:

That car is almost the perfect definition of a sleeper.

I was at the VMAX a couple of years ago where 9FF first showed up with a 996 convertible, and apart from the suspiciously fruity engine noise, there's very little evidence from the outside about what's lurking underneath the bonnet (boot?).

I was told that the blue 9FF car crashed at the end of the day whilst it was being driven by the owner of 9FF and he was airlifted to hospital.

Car was the blue one that was a one off and was totally trashed.

I think it was this one . . .

I'm not sure about airlifted... over on PH in the VMAX forum, Craig said that Jan (the guy who was injured) came back to Bruntingthorpe later on, and they also said the damage was not as bad as it looked.

There are many street legal cars faster than this though...

Whats it all about

Indeed, getting up to 220+ in 1.5 miles is rapido. I'm fairly sure the eventual top speed is far higher with the right gearing!

[phat///M3]

Impressive, but how driveable is that thing with 1000+ BHP?

[englebert]

Amazing! Would rather this though...

Damn right. A thing of beauty.:drool:

222mph and 1000+bhp? :drool:

Many, you sure dude??:hahaha::hahaha::hahaha:

Many hazy, trust me Maybe not in England, but definitely in U.S/ Saudi / Germany.

I'm talking about:

Turbo Supras, Twin Turbo Vettes, Twin Turbo Ford GT, Twin Turbo Gallardo/Murcielago, Turbo Big Block Camaro's, and a few others.

Let me give you some statistics: :drool::drool::drool:

Twin Turbo Gallardo:

1352hp to the wheels

1/4 mile 9.1 at 169mph, this is on 19inch street-legal tires

60-130mph in 3.5sec

standing mile in 240 mph The porsche can only manage 220 after 1.5 miles...

Compare this with 60-130mph times


Bugatti Veyron: 5.6 sec
A Modified Suzuki GXR 1000cc : 5.9 sec
Ferrari Enzo: 7 sec
Ferrari F430: 9.5 sec
Ferrari Challenge Stradale 11.7 sec (just to make it hurt :whistle



The TT Gallardo is twice as fast as the Enzo. And the power is fully usable thanks to the AWD.

In any case, that porsche will spank about 99.99% of any cars that you might encounter though.:thumbs:

Sorry about the little rant but i'm a big HP fan :smt055

Swift, here's a UK based car (is now anyway) with 1000bhp+. Now owned by a mate of mine and as posted on another thread a few weeks ago:
