Top Speed World record with a Formula 1 Bar Honda - 413 km/h
 

I don't think it's anything that special....

I can almost imagine a Bugatti Veyron next to him... and don't needing a parashute to brake, and weighting 2 tons.. :D

Nice, I always wondered how fast they would go. :)

Just a small historical background to put in prospect. :wink:

The Auto Union Typ C Stromlinie did in 1937 the world top speed record with 406 km/h :twisted:

Pretty incredible when you think the car was designed with a completely different purpose in mind, and despte that ultimate specialization cans till do 400 km/h. Keep in mind it is a 2.4 litre engine NA engine, not a V-16 quad turbo 8 litre monster.

A parachute is obligatory for such attempts and I fear a Veyron won't hit 400 within the same distance.

Nice vid, any one has the music?? or know the name?

Nor will it stop as quickly.

Saw a news article about this thing some time ago. Nice work from the BAR team, even though it did smack of a publicity stunt.

Are you sure ???

It`s the old model , V10, 3 litres :wink:

It is indeed the V10.

If I had things my way, Formula 1 cars would run with no wing just like that one haha. Now that would make things interesting :twisted:

Considering thats about 70 years ago It must have been pretty impressive for its time! 8)

Very cool...take that unsaid VW car with 1001hp! :P

Pretty impressive for a car with open wheels, and even without wings, a shit ton of drag. I bet that must have been 'interesting' to drive at 250+mph! :o I agree with nick, this is how they should make all the F1 cars drive, back to 1967! 8)

Almost forgot, thanks for the vid dude! :D

And, they made that record driving on the autobahn :!: :shock:, if I'm not mistaken.
