Maxximus G-Force - Is it the Fastest Car in the World? - Motor Trend

Quote:
It reaches 60 mph in 2.1 seconds; 100mph in 4.5 seconds, and smashes the supercar 0-100-0 mph benchmark at 8.9 seconds.
Quote:
1600-hp Chevrolet V-8 under the rear hatch.
1600 horses and 0 to 60 in 2.1 seconds????!!!!! That would be a fun car to drive, eh? It does 80 mph in 1st gear.

This is a one of a kind and costs 7 digits. Wow! Where's that bailout out check?

Very few people would be able to control that car under full accelleration. I know I probably could not. Not many people with that kind of money have the training to really drive that car. Most of them will probably sit in collectors garages or be wrecked fairly quickly.

That's some wild acceleration. 0-60 in 2.1? That's intense.

It was sold to someone in the Middle East, according to the article. Maybe it is a Saudi Prince or something.

I live 20 miles from beach. Could I drive a dune buggy there and back on one tank of gas?

I bet 99.99% of the people in the world couldn't drive that car.
