?supercharged Honda K20 engine making 300 horsepower on a 456kg body.?

It?s only $29k, if this is legal here, I will so be ordering one. ~ Enjoy!

Nutjobs have taken that thing round the nurburgring before :Oh crap

Chris let me know when you get it I am putting my pennies in a jar now!

You have seen one before?

ahaha, the face... fucking hilarious.

I'd be worried about having no windscreen in front of my face, especially as I've had my screen cracked a few times from flying debris. I wouldn't like to be speeding along and have some fucking stone smash my head. You'd need a helmet all the time.

This car came second in the track test. What was at the top of the list?

Very neat!

I think it was the porsche..

Here is the website url for the car if anyone missed it..

It's not $29k, but 29k pound. A little bit of a difference.

sounds like a fast fucker

Here is another website where you can configure one online.

i've seen this car on top gear,its impressive, as fast as an enzo

that is a bad ass little machine. And not to expensive.

If you have one that is fully loaded with all options it's about 80K

It's been out for ages. I saw one of the first ones at an exotic car dealer in Melbourne in like 1999. Back then it had a Rover K series engine like the Lotus Elise.

I had a CBR1000RR in 04 before it got stolen. Im thinking about a new bike this summer.

I have a 600RR and I barely keep my license. With a 1ooo I might as well just drive down to the cop impound lot and turn myself in.

Yeah I know what you mean. :( I'm not the best driver I've lost my licenses three times. Took the class twice and the last time there was no more class just instant 6 month suspension. Now that I'm older I start to realize about other people in the world and how speed does kill. Still.. it's so fun so I know what you mean!

Oh fuck yeah, I'm in love.

Where I live now they suspend your license at the drop of a hat and if you get caught driving on a suspension they seize your vehicle. Nice, huh?

Ferrari Enzo was at the top a Porsche GT3 was right below it. Crazy

dude, that thing was wild...but i still love bikes waaaaaaaaaaay more

Damn, that's one fast motherfucker

What an unfortunate situation over there.

I'd lose my licence in a second with one of those things, it's built to go fast and I'd want to do that all the time.

Man I'd love to rip in that

He said it's starting at 20k pounds

Ugh ? He said it's up there with the Carerra GT...

well, i'm sure that is fast, but the physics don't quite make the argument that this car could beat any production bike.

i have a stock suzuki hayabusa---i have not seen a car yet on any public highway that could outrun it:

"What makes it fast? Power to weight ratio of course. Let?s compare. 300bhp for 456kg is roughly 600bhp per 1000kg? A Porsche 911 Carrera has 320bhp and weighs roughly 1350kg. Roughly 237bhp per 1000kg. You do the maths!"


i just did the math, one kilogram = approx 2.2 pounds.

the hayabusa makes 156.1 hp at 9500 rpm, it weighs 550 pounds wet, or 220 kg.

IMO the stock hayabusa would easily leave that beast in the dust with equal weight drivers.
