Gaz6002 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Barabus TKR is built in Colonella, Italy and will be sold through select Barabus's certified dealers. Barabus Sportscars plans to sell around 300-400 TKRs over the three-year period. The car is on sale now for mere £360,000 and first vehicles will reach their respective owners in a four-month time. See? I'll have one of those please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Looks to me like they have copied a load of other cars ie. saleen S7, Zonda, Koninsegg, etc Definitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 a bit more info: The car not only outdoes the Bugatti Veyron in terms of available power (TKR's 6.0-liter V8 engine equipped with two turbochargers and dual intercoolers produces a maximum of 1005 hp, which is four horsepower more than is capable to give that VW on steroids), it seems to be the fastest street-legal car ever. The upcoming Barabus TKR accelerates from zero to 62 mph in just 1.67 seconds and achieves a maximum speed of 270 mph -- that's almost 20 mph more than the Veyron does if the weather is good.

Gaz6002 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Definitely. Well if the shape works then why not? It does have some pretty unique features. I don't personally like the way it looks but I admire the way it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
