Who wants to call bullshit? But seriously, if that were real, Holy shit :shit: I would love a car that can go to 600kmph in a heartbeat. :laugh:
There are fast cars. There are powerful cars. And then there's this.
German company RSC says it is working on a hypercar that has a claimed 0-600kmh time – yes, 600kmh – of 7.0 seconds. It can also apparently get to 300 kmh in the same amount of time it takes a Nissan GT-R or Porsche 911 Turbo S to get to 100kmh.
RSC has reportedly been working on its upcoming radical racer since 2009, with a concept version of the car set to be unveiled at the Top Marques Monaco automotive expo in April 2012. So far, however, the brand has released just one teaser image of the new vehicle.
The RSC website states the car will be powered by a 5.2-litre, quad-turbocharged, eight-rotor rotary engine producing 2089kW of power and 3494Nm of torque – or roughly five times the power and torque of a 911 Turbo S.
The site's specifications sheet claims the engine will be mounted behind the seats, with power sent to all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission.
With such dramatic claimed outputs, it comes as no surprise that RSC is boasting some eye-wateringly quick sprint times, too, including a bottom-blistering 0-100kmh time of just 0.9 seconds.
According to the website, the car will make it to production late in 2012, with a maximum of 12 units per year allowing the brand to ''fulfil our high pretence to exclusiveness''.
This isn't the first time RSC has boasted about a car that hasn't yet been seen in the metal. Earlier this year the company touted its first effort, the Predator GT, which was said to be capable of 883kW of power and a 0-100kmh sprint time of less than 3.0 seconds.
If RSC's claims about the new car - which is believed to be an evolution of the Predator GT - are true, then it should easily eclipse the current record for the fastest production car held by Bugatti's Veyron Super Sport (431.07kmh).
We’ll believe it when we see it.
