Fastest car?

[PoWeRz]

If your measuring stick for the fastest car is the Nurburgring, then let us present you with the best. Back a few months ago, Michael Duchting drove a Donkervoort D8 270 RS around the Nordschleife Nurburgring faster than anyone else in a production car - some 15 seconds faster than a Porsche Carrera GT!

Now, Donkervoort finally release their road worthy version to settle the controversy. Built in a limited edition of 25 cars, the 270 RS can finally be considered a proper production car.

engine : Front Longitudinal
aspiration : Turbocharger w/Intercooler
power : 201.3 kw / 270 bhp @ Not Available rpm
bhp/weight : 415.38 bhp per weight
f suspension : Double Wishbones
r suspension : Double Wishbones
weight : 650 kg / 1433 lbs
transmission : Borg Marner 5-Speed Manual
0 - 60 mph : 3.9 seconds

No wonder this Donkervoort beat the Porsche Carrera GT time of 7:32 by 15 fifteen seconds. Now the Sport Auto Nürburgring record is in the hands of Joop Donkervoort with a time of 7:18.01. He says this feat was possible due to "the special configuration of the suspension and the enormously stiff chassis of the 270 RS".

Donkervoort say the 270 RS is capable of 0 to 100 kph in less than 4 seconds and can stop from 100 km to a standstill in just 2.4. Is this the fastest production car ever made? It just might be. While the 270 doesn't beat an Ultima GTR in a straight line, it has proven its 'king of the ring' status.

Looks like a Catherham 7, same concept too. It's less than 50% of the Carrera GT's weight so in the twisties of the Ring, that's a big advantage.

in terms of top speed, the bugatti veyron is the new king. It clocked 400km/h i forgot where and beats the previous record holder which is the koenigsegg car.

Imagine driving from johor to perlis at 400kmh hahaha

If I'm not mistaken, the Veyron clocked 405 and 411kmh on the 4km straight at Ehra-Lessien track (VW test track) monitored by TUV. It will be officially announced later.

Irrelevant to us tho, I don't think we'll ever see one in Msia. It's near 700k Euro if i remember right, imagine how much it'll cost to import one here.

The Caterham is not that expensive (compared to Carrera GT and Bugatti) so I would imagine the Donkervoort is not far off from Caterham prices. Maybe RM300-RM400k (since it seems to have a bigger engine cc than the Caterham) if include taxes? If pure track car than cheaper lor.
