Veyron’s New Enemy

The Barabus TKR

Many of you thought that the Shelby Super Car Ultimate Aero is the fastest car. Well, me too. But now, another car comes its way. The Barabus TKR is the SSC Ultimate Aero and the Bugatti Veyron’s newest competitor for the fastest car award.

The TKR’s amazing 6.0 L V8 Twin-Turbocharged engine could do 0-60 mph in under 2 seconds. 1.67 to be exact. It’s top speed is 270 mph while the SSC Ultimate Aero TT can only do 257 mph. Clearly, the Ultimate Aero TT lost. The supercar generates 1005 bhp at 6500 rpm with the red line at 7500 rpm.

The Barabus TKR’s body and chassis would be full Carbon Fibre which makes it weigh less and run faster. The suspension is fully independent unequal length “A” arms.

Technology is also used in this supercar. I’m talking about the following:

– Barabus Electromech control system computer handles engine management

– The ignition system is integrated coil-on-plug

– A longitudinally mounted transaxle, with unique Barabus bell housing, transfers power to the wheels

 

Barabus did not release further details of the car so we only have limited information about it. Anyways, thanks for reading

ADDITIONAL FACT:

THE MERCEDES 35 HP was the first-ever fastest production car with a speed of 53 mph!!!

well it was the fastest in the year 1901.

1914 DMG Mercedes 35 hp racing car

Hence, the Enzo Ferrari isn’t Turbo-charged and is the most powerful naturally aspirated (untrubocharged) street-legal production car (228.5 mph)
