World's Fastest Car (Allegedly) - Rev - 10-04-2007
I was watching the show "5th gear" last night where they were testing the slick Konnigsberg twin turbo V8 sportscar allegedly capable of a high 300 kph ...
Anyway during the test of this mega buck flyer the battery went flat & the clutch failed..
But according to the presenter it meant nothing to the cashed up owners of the beasts because " they just want to own the fastest car in the world  & mostly they don't even want to drive them, just have them & tell everyone about it "
Whaddya reckon boys......sound familiar :2funny::2funny::2funny::2funny::2funny::2funny:

nope its a bugatti, but the most recent vid i've seen of them doing a top end run was done at the VW private testing track where they have a 5.5 mile long straight.
this was posted a while ago on the old board but here it is again

are there actually any car companys that arent owned by one of the major manufacturers? I wouldn't go labeling the bugatti a VW just because of the parent company. it still operates independantly but has access to much better facilities etc.
I supppose you could say that holdens and daewoos are the same company too cause they're both GM:2funny: (yes im a ford man)
RE: World's Fastest Car (Allegedly) - Dan85 - 10-04-2007
maggot daewoos and holden are the same about the same quality anyway. very intechangeable stuff between VW and audi thats for sure as weve had a few vw and one audi and alot of the parts are the same with even the same (or different) brand on them.
RE: World's Fastest Car (Allegedly) - maggot - 10-04-2007
yeah kinda my point. it all gets a bit incestuous nowadays with cars, but I doubt theres much chance of getting our hands on a veyron to see if its got any vw bits in it. still it would be nice to take one for a run (just not for the $2,500,000 aud price)

..."Maggot Daewoo"...

We're talking road registerable production car thrillseekers :)
The Callaway "Sledgehammer" (Corvette, 408 kph) was the fastest road production car for a long time............maybe it still is
