impressive 1750hp out of a TT V8?? couldn't see properly

but I bet it's crap on the road if it even is road legal, and 750hp and only 7mph faster than a veyron? poor aero

i'd rather spend the extra money on a veyron

They only used 900hp to get to 260mph. The driver backed off as they were running out of road.

Watching the video is really informative and kind of lets you in on how exactly it feels to design and build your own supercar.. must be incredible to make such a dream come true!

I wouldn't say no to a Veyron.. but if I had to pay for them, I'd definitely buy this car before a Veyron.

We'll have to wait until next year at Bonneville to see what this monster will do.


Anyone else know about NRE? That small block seems to be quite a motor.

It's rather pointless....I would rather have a Noble M400 than this.

OH? was it only 900? ok then my bad, misunderstood... but i'd still rather have the Veyron... and the quality, and the warranty, and comfort, and awd safety....

It's just another home-grown iteration of the LSx.. this time a built, turbo LS& based unit - nothing that a dozen other GM tuners (and home tinkerers) couldn't and havent built before - it's just this one has a JooTubz and story to go along with it

Looks like a bit like a Zonda from the back...
