Maxximus G-Force: 1600hp Ultima Claims Worlds Fastest Car Title
February 18, 2009
The title of the world’s fastest car has always been up for grabs and will always be up for grabs. The Mclaren F1 held it for the longest time before the Bugatti Veyron came by and completely shattered the record and still holds it. Well, karmic forces are seemingly at work again and the Bugatti could just loose it’s record – to a virtually unknown competitor.
Financier David McMahan and his chauffer Marlon Kirby took the Ultima GTR – which already claims the fastest quarter-mile, 0-100-0, Nürburgring (almost) and Top Gear (unofficial) track times – and dropped in an all-aluminum 7.0-liter Chevy small-block V8 with twin turbochargers to bring the power rating up to 1600 horses, calling the resultant monster the Maxximus G-Force.
All those ponies drive through a three-speed sequential gearbox, while six-piston AP Racing calipers gripping 14.2-inch discs handle the stopping power.
Housed in a 1225kg frame, that’s apparently enough to get the G-Force up to 100km/h in 2.1 seconds, to 160 km/h in 4.5 seconds and run the 0-100-0 sprint in 8.8 seconds. Nine minutes of fuel is all it can carry at those rates, but considering that McMahan and Kirby are charging US$3 million a pop, a big petrol bill would be an owner’s last concern. Whatever the case is, we are in doubt that it will be able to reach the 400km mark, if so, the Veyron is safe. For now.

its fast, but its definitely not a looker.
Missed gear? lol….
insane!!!
Well.. This looks more like a track monster than a luxury super car which the Veyron is. The Veyron has Ivory as it’s signal and wiper stalk. Plus the G-Force looks kinda odd.. I’m ok with the lapan biji mata but the roofline is questionable. Maybe it needs that design to break the Veyron’s record.
kekeke…the lapan bijik mata..lol lol…
Voxel Vectra – 2000hp 0-100 in 1 sec and street legal
awesome!!
can the engine put on NSX ??
y so ugly?
8 eyes means “fatt”, means kaya raya…..
awesome!..
And building a 400km/h car is not only bout HP, but aerodynamic as well to keep the car on the track
Another bunch of people just trying to prove that they have the big d***.
Gordon Murray never intended the Macca to be the world’s fastest car, they just happen to come across a theoretical top speed when calculating the top speed of the car for marketing. Then they put it to the test and it made the record.
Ferdinand Piech wanted the Veyron to be the world’s fastest, most brilliantly engineered car in the world, at the same time being as usable day in and day out like a bread and butter Golf, and comfortable as their flagship Phaeton.
Pointless this stupid quest for world’s fastest production car, just strap a rocket engine to every Toyota that comes off the production line and Toyota will mass produce the world’s most fastest car, followed by a rapidly shrinking customer base.
PS: The Veyron’s signal and wiper stalk is not made of ivory (the responsible green party of Europe will be aghast). They are made of an expensive magnesium-aluminium alloy.

Really? I read it somewhere. Oh nvm, it feels like a royal mansion inside the Veyron.
if only they can create better look car…..
nice, but how does it fare when cornering?
fast but look like shit
