"The Bugatti Veyron may no longer be the world's fastest car. Today — following a number of teasers and leaks — Barabus officially unveiled the TKR: a new 1005 horsepower supercar the automaker says is capable of doing zero to 60 mph in 1.67 seconds. What's more, the car reportedly has a top speed of 270 mph."

Yeah I don't really think it can hit 60 in under 2 seconds. It takes a Formula One car to hit 60 in 2 seconds. 270MPH?? The front end will start to lift near 200MPH.

And it looks like a Saleen S7: http://uploader.ws/upload/200607/SaleenS7TT1s.jpg

Barabus TKR = BS  

Thats freaking insane.
Looks more like a Zonda to ***
Double post? :P  

I am doubting the sub 2 seconds to 60. I'm just not sure your going to get that on street tires.

The 270 might happen. They could have gotten the aero right to keep it on the ground, but you would need a surface as smooth as a bowling alley to do it on.

It lloks like a kit car or something built in someone's garage. It does kind of look like a Saleen, just missing 37 extra vents.  

wow that is alot like the saleen  

well they compensated for the lift on the veyron at high speeds i would thing they would be able to do that with the Barabus too.
it does look a little like a saleen except for the more pronounced fenders  

not really believing the less than 2 seconds accel.
looks pretty nice, it does remind of a saleen too but not the headlights.  Does this thing have a wing?

Haha, 37 vents...  

Id really like to see a "TOP GEAR" on this car...

I wouldnt fully doubt a 0-60 under 2 seconds...after all..it must have a lighter engine than the bugatti, seeing that its a "7.0 liter V8 twin-turbocharged engine"...

the only think that i dont like about this car...is its orignality...it has none...the whole body of the car looks like a saleen except the rear which looks like a zonda...  

Wow, you'd probably need a parachute on that thing just to stop it.  

And HUGE brakes...  

1.67 sec... maybe if it can pull to 60mph in the first gear then it's possible.  

thats so unbelievably fast...1.67 seconds...thats faster than Arnold Swartzenager can say "Kindergarden Cop"

Veyron? As the fastest vehicle? That's old-school. Get with the times! What once was fast is slow in today's need for speed. I'm waiting for 0-60 in a second.
