British Motor Show

Any one you English pistonheads going to the British Motor Show. ?

If so, someone get me a pic of this Barabus TKR that is supposed to be there. (Not a typo - I don't mean Brabus) I'll pay dearly. Okay, not really but I would like some pics.

Okay, here is the rumor...

Barabus Sports Cars Ltd will unveil a new 270 mph car this week. (British Motor Show) The car will cost under $500,000, and offer 1000 horsepower via a 6.0 liter twin-turbo V8. The car has been in development for over ten years. 0-60 mph is rumored in the two second range.

The car is supposed to preview at the British Motor Show. No one is interested

Yes. They are starting to leak out tbut the quality is not that good

Not wild about the back. It took them 10 years for that ?

That's either a really big dude or the car is somewhat small...

Brisitsh Motor Show July 20

Barabus officially unveiled the TKR: a new 1005 horsepower supercar the automaker says is capable of doing zero to 60 mph in 1.67 seconds. What's more, the car reportedly has a top speed of 270 mph — nearly 20 more than the Veyron. Power comes from a 6.0 liter V8 twin-turbocharged with dual intercoolers. Details remain sparse, but the automaker says it will sell the car for £360,000, which should translate to around $500,000, using typical automotive market conversion rates. It's worth noting that Barabus sometimes refers to the car as being able to hit 60 mph in "under 2 seconds," rather than the stated 1.67

If true, this would make the TKR the words fastest production vehicle with a top speed 20 MPH over the Veyron.

Amen brother!!!

Okay watty & turd, it is 112 miles (roughly) (according to this internet thingy) from Birmingham to London. The TVR has a top speed of 270 mph meaning that you could do the trip in 24.6 minutes. What's the problem here. Most of us "yanks" spend more time than that on the road doing our daily commute. Quit your whining, drive down there and get me some pictures....
