Watch the whole video. It is insane. The car is also awesome sauce.

What's your point?
1 - Barabus TKR
Few people know this, but this is now the fastest car ever made, having dethroned the Bugatti beast. The name is not to be confused with the German tuner Brabus, as she's built by the British company Barabus Sportscars Ltd and will be produced in Italy. She has 1005 horsepower, it can do 0 to 60 mph (0-100 km/h) in...unbelievably...1.67 seconds (manufacturer's results). And, surprisingly, this power doesn't come from a huge engine, but rather from a "small" 6.0 liter V8 twin-turbocharged with dual intercoolers.
This declared speed is impressive and some people think that such a figure is not even possible: 270 mph (435km/h), nearly 20 more than the Veyron.
So, this top is a picture of today's most outstanding performances in the field of car engineering, but no one knows when the next "road-runner" will be made and how fast it will travel without taking off.
1. SSC Ultimate Aero: 257 mph, 0-60 in 2.7 secs. Twin-Turbo V8 Engine with 1183 hp, base price is $654,400. Tested in March 2007 by Guinness world records, The SSC Ultimate Aero takes the lead as the fastest car in the world beating Bugatti Veyron.
To be honest, I freaking HATE the Veyron. It's overrated, looks terrible, it's only fast in a straight line, and is overpowered, which means that you'll get less than one mile to the gallon.
Any day I'd much rather have The new GT-R, the LFA, a porsche, an old RX7, ect.
I could create a wall of text of cars I'd rather have and why I'd want them more.

Besides, you can't do THIS in a Bugatti:

Sure it looks cool. But is it worth 140 or 150 bucks for new tires?
Ah well I hear from my friend that a new car, Ford (?) Raptor, can go 350 MPH in seconds. Not sure about this and never googled to confirm yet but hes a smart kid and I trust him.
I call BS
