Yes thats right the one, the only, Barabus TKR.
Ever heard of it?
No?
Well thats because it is a Italian-built exotic car...
that has a twin-turbo 6.0-liter V8 engine that makes 1005 hp and does 0-60 in... get this...

Bugatti vayron about 2.6 sec
Caparo T1 2.5 sec
Barabus TKR

1.67 SECS!

It also costs £360,000 and the Veyron costs, well about, £600,000.
oh and also the Barabus TKR has a top speed of 270 mph.

It says that their site is up but when i tried it, it did not work.

title fixed

I think the Bugatti has a little more luxury, and I think the Caparo would be more fun, but for all out speed, the TKR is the winner.

but wow, I think that car needs to have a warning, "note, under full acceleration your blood will no longer be able to move due to the extreme g forces"

I read the comments, and they do have a good point about the reliability, as far as I know the Bugatti is pretty reliable, although somewhat high matinence

thanks TJ
After looking at it more the TKR does look somewhat like the saleen s7 in the front and sides but it looks like a pagani zonda in the rear.
and just think in just under 2 secs you are already at highway speed.
thats crazy fast.

is this real? just looking at the pictures of the car i have extreme doubts that it has enough weight to achieve 270mph. and its ugly

**TJ213** · 03-08-2007, 10:57 PM

the problem is that its so fast, I can't even visualize it

I mean, hell, how do you even drive that thing on the street, tap the throttle and your doing 80, but imagine being able to stop at the end of every on ramp, look for a one second gap (the .62 will be swallowed up by the decreasing approach speed of the vehicle behind you, as they slam on the brakes and you floor it) and disappear into it.

btw the interior reminds me of an elise, not a luxury car

what do you mean? weight doesn't have anything to do with top speed, does it

HONDAS R US · 03-08-2007, 11:22 PM

Well you know there is no wing on it so that means that it would be hard to drive at super speed.
Just look what happened to The Stig on TopGear when he tried to handle the Koenigsegg CCX without a wing! It ate a tire!
Then when they got the ccx fixed they tried it again but with a wing and got through the course.

oh yes. weight plays a very important role in top speed. just check out this video of a RX-7 going 215 mph. the vehicle has to be very heavy, have tremendous down force or a combination of the two or it will quite literally fly...and that is no fun.

I like that the parachute came out well...I'd say a little late.
