There were some crazy powerful cars before:

May be some others, that was the first which come to mind. Also isn't Tuatara has "only" 1350 hp on regular octane fuel?

The Koenigsegg One:1 only had "1160hp" with regular octane gas. E85 is a regular fuel with a higher octane rating. But the difference is the Tuatara is absolutely a TRUE 1:1 including driver weight included.

:)

"E85 is a regular fuel with a higher octane rating."

If regular fuel means gasoline, then not really because it's 85% bioethanol. "Regular" gasoline only contains 5-10%.

"Regular" from the pumps in those countries were it's available. One you can atleast in THOSE countries buy regularly. At the petrol pumps. Just not in England or the United Kingdom! :)

Tuatara is VERY impressive in terms of numbers, no argue.
But, the cars that I have given above can also claim a power-to-weight ratio of 1:1, taking into account the driver. And could do it without the use of ethanol-based fuels, which are common only in USA, as I understand it.

In Australia E85 is not available at the pump, apart from a few places. The highest octane one can get at most petrol stations is 98 octane RON which i believe is equivalent to 93 octane American. As far as high hp turbo cars go there's a big difference in potential hp between 98 pump fuel vs E85 which here is generally 105 RON.

E85 can creep to 108 maybe higher? Horrendous fuel "economy" though? Sometimes 30% inferior. And I wasn't aware about Australia pumps? I had an idea. Last I checked in America is was less than 5% coverage nationwide. Which is pretty pathetic.

Yes they. Except as far as I can see they are modified production cars. Not factory manufactured. :)

A little off topic but some Silverados and F-150s come from the factory with E85 tune

So does the SSC Tuatara? 5MPG! Haha!

Buying E85 from a pump is very much a gamble simply because E85 goes off if it's been sitting there for a while. Lamborghini brought their own fuel with them when they tested at the Nurburgring which was a good idea but it would've been smarter if they used 98 octane rather than 102 octane to avoid allegations of cheating. The stoichiometric value of E85 is 9.77:1 whereas regular pump gas is 14.7:1 which is why you need to use about 30% more fuel to get the optimum burn...

So essentially it's used just to get a power boost and all that environmental "stuff" and it's horrendous fuel economy is bollocks right? Absolutely.

oh nevermind they're lying again...

So when and how did they realised that the car didn't achieved claimed numbers? didn't they lost all the telemetry data and the video footage of the runs?

Quote>"Inside the wheels we can see the new very large KOENIGSEGG brake calipers and BRAKE DISCS that WE developed IN-HOUSE."

Now that's very interesting? Because Koenigsegg have ABSOLUTELY NO experience or expertise in or knowledge in the production of Ceramic Carbon Discs or technologies involved therein?

In ACTUAL fact it's Surface Transforms in England (where I live) that manufacture the discs since atleast 2010 and the production of the then new Koenigsegg Agera (which really WASN'T "new" at all and the British press all stated this>LOL!). So quite how "in house" these are is bizarre and disingenuously incorrect. Maybe they stick a Ghost Squadron Logo on it? LOL!

Just like the English electric motors manufactured by YASA they utilise? I'm detecting a theme here?

Anyway whatever I'll take a slice of ground up new desinged hypercar as opposed to one that in major componentry is RE DESIGNED. Over and over and over and over?

You call others "liars" yet cheating can take many forms? Hahahahahahaha!

Just choose you FLAVOUR of bald?

SSC North America>

So you do agree that SSC are bunch of scammers?

Koenigsegg KNEW the actual 0-400km/h time of "20 seconds" was effectively made up. It was either 21 or 22 seconds?

So do YOU agree also?

I do.

So do you agree that SSC are scammers? yes or no.

You agreed to Koenigsegg being "scammers?".

Yes. they are far from what SSC is though.

Now answer my question: do you agree that SSC are scammers?

Hahahahahahaha!

That means yes I guess

You complain and discuss too much about cars you'll probably never afford or even test drive. Most of these cars will only be driven once and never again, so who cares about a one or two second difference?

a one or two second difference? what are you even talking about? they claimed that the car did 331mph when it actually did 223mph. if they weren't caught they would never admit what they did, in fact they would make even more bs claims about the car's performance like that 62-125mph in 2.5sec or 242mph in a half mile with half the boost etc. and if koenigsegg or hennessey achieved higher speed than the Tuatara, they would go out, do another and claim that the car did 350mph. and no one would question their statement.

What was "223MPH" based on? Badly edited or completely corrupted video footage? The same car accelerated to such an extent that the previous "opposition" CRUMBLED completely? You think John Hennessey hasn't had disputes with clients? Anyway I'm done. It's irrelevant. My cheque would go somewhere else anyway and EVERY "hypercar" would get trashed! Hahahahahahaha!

Exactly man. Arguing over SHIT that ultimately is alright it doesn't concern us!

And what is your statement, that the footage (telemetry was fake obviously) was badly edited based on? let me guess... SSC's claims.

The same car - it wasn't a same car. it had a different transmission with more aggressive gearing plus we don't know how much power was it making.

Hennessey is a scammer as well, however all the runs they did with the Venom GT were legit.

oh btw what's up with all these ahahas? are you alright?

I haven't bothered to work out the speed of the Tuatara in its first attempt last year but this video gives us a good comparison between the Tuatara and Agera RS from point to point.

To be honest it's played out? It did 300-400km/h in the original run in SEVENTEEN seconds circa? My alarm bells were off the chart. Anyway currently SSC are the production Kings and John's up next then everybody else. We will compare number 4 with number 3. I just gave some effort to this nonsense. Anyway Larry will DEFINITELY drive the wheels off it. Already has?LOL!

EVERYTHING you said applies to Bugatti and Koenigsegg too? Maybe Ferrari "did" something to the gearbox for it's recent Indianapolis record? Or maybe Porsche did for it's Nurburgring record? Maybe Brooks was given an extra special Mclaren 765LT for his drag racing? Oh wait he has also got an SF90 coming too! Maybe this maybe that? Your just a little hater BITCH and SSC are (currently) KINGS. LMAO peanut!

SSC what that stand for ?

STUPIDS - SKUNKS & CUN-TS ??

Ain't that a shame, their 331 mph claim was nothing more than a bluff. Just as you are bluffing you daft trollop.

SSC are scammers - that's not an assumption, that's a fact.

LFMAO. I knew it. Multiple accounted SKUNK. That was a keyword. What an idiot. Get a girlfriend instead following everyone one around with your sorry arse. Then BOTH you BITCHES can play TOGETHER! LMFAO!

SSC stands for Shelby Scam Company.

Seriously Scamming Cocks

I do have several other variants but they are too horny so I'll stick with Shelby Scam Company.

She's had a pretty difficult birth for sure. Nobody was expecting it to get WORSE. However I'm still of the opionion it will reign over the other production hypercars. They want it BAD and DEFINITELY have one of the strongest production cars. It's acceleration is more impressive than it's projected to speed. :)
