Most Powerful Production Car
The 5,998 cc (366 cu in) V12 engine of the standard Ferrari Enzo is claimed by its makers to generate 492 kW (660 hp) of power, making it the most powerful car ever to enter series production. Ferrari says the Enzo will reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.65 sec and has a top speed of 349 km/h (217 mph). Only 399 of these supercars are being produced.

Their engines need to be rebuilt every few runs, you dont see a Mclaren needing that doing to them do you?

I think they were joking. This wasn't the record for an internal combustion engine...it was the record for a production car.

lol, i know, just seems a meaningless point, no offence

Ian_yamaue · 07-26-2004, 12:08 PM

Koenegsegg might be mistaked...

i agree but maybe the Koenigsegg could reach 241 plus if you took it somewhere like the Salt Flat which have a long ass straight but then again if you could have done that with McLaren i think their car could have done the same in the same conditions

Its not the fact it cant do it around nardo - it hasn't offically come near 241mph anywhere. The most any independant testers could get out of it was 232 or something. Only koenigsegg themselevs say it will do 242 but they have no proof

http://www.962lm.com/index-h.htm There's your fastest production car.

mclaren_Gt · 09-13-2004, 09:51 AM

The mclaren is better, faster and hunter

than koenigsegg

Ian_yamaue · 09-13-2004, 10:03 AM

So, why the heck you have a Lambo Murcielago in your AVI?

noosee · 09-13-2004, 04:38 PM

They have to prove it first
And it's gona be difficult

weather they do it at Nardo or anywhere else is not important, i reckon the best place personaly would be a long highway.

and most high speed runs at nardo are only made at night, because of the winds or soemthing i believe.

Despite the fact that Nardo is the world's most famous high speed track, McLaren F1 broke the record on VW's proving grounds at Wolfsburg. Ex LM driver Andy Wallace was the test driver.

The Koenigsegg hit 235mph in Texas...in the wet apparently.

By the way, didn't McLaren buy all the F1s back?

tigerx · 09-13-2004, 07:48 PM

screw the f1, i'll take a dauer plz, DVD player, 5.1 Dolby and 0-60 in 2.6 and over 200mph on a lemans winning car.

rachaderua · 09-13-2004, 08:28 PM

ya thaat was just claimmed by koeniggzeg but no official world record...

guess that it can go there but thereÂ´s not an official test showing that, so we can just guess
