WOW....I want one!!
« on: 01 August 2006, 10:48:59 »
I've just been reading latest copy of Auto Express and Brabus have just brought out a new super car.
It's a 7.0 Litre twin turbo V8 that produces.......wait for it........1005BHP!!! :o
Top speed is around 270 and 0-60 time of under 2 seconds!!
This makes it faster than the Bugatti Veyron and at £300,000.00 a damn site cheaper. Please God, let me win the lottery so I can have one ;)

Shame the back of it looks like a '70's kit car.

Also is it me, or is the passenger seat at a funny angle?

I'm not so sure I'd be too worried with that sort of performance ;D This is damn near close to F1 performance with a higher top speed!!

Heh - I wonder if they actually took a mould from the back of a Zonda, or did they just measure one carefully!  In fact, pretty though it is, that has to be the most unoriginal 'supercar' styling I've ever seen.

And 1.67 seconds to 60 :o.  Yeah of course!!  When you replace the rear wheels with cogs and find a toothed road.  Blatant bs isn't a good way to start selling something.  And niether is £360,000 (!!!!!) for what looks like a fancy bodied kit car with a blown yank V8 which probably wont get you to your local golf club without problems.  It's a carbon Ultima with a couple of turbos - I'd pay about 50 grand for it :).  The engineering and finish dont look to even approach the same league as something like a Zonda, yet they think people will pay nearly twice as much!  Hmmmmmm another supercar venture down the toilet.

God i'm a bit cynical today.  Just reading their crap website full of waffle "modern racing motor technology and engineering" and bs "0-60: 1.67 seconds" musta put me in attack mode :)  Have a cool beer....
