Maxximus G-Force Ultima GTR.


The title of the world’s fastest car has always been up for grabs and will always be up for grabs. The Mclaren F1 held it for the longest time before the Bugatti Veyron came by and completely shattered the record and still holds it. Well, karmic forces are seemingly at work again and the Bugatti could just loose it’s record – to a virtually unknown competitor.

Financier David McMahan and his chauffer Marlon Kirby took the Ultima GTR – which already claims the fastest quarter-mile, 0-100-0, Nürburgring (almost) and Top Gear (unofficial) track times – and dropped in an all-aluminum 7.0-liter Chevy small-block V8 with twin turbochargers to bring the power rating up to 1600 horses, calling the resultant monster the Maxximus G-Force.

All those ponies drive through a three-speed sequential gearbox, while six-piston AP Racing calipers gripping 14.2-inch discs handle the stopping power.

Housed in a 1225kg frame, that’s apparently enough to get the G-Force up to 100km/h in 2.1 seconds, to 160 km/h in 4.5 seconds and run the 0-100-0 sprint in 8.8 seconds. Nine minutes of fuel is all it can carry at those rates, but considering that McMahan and Kirby are charging US$3 million a pop, a big petrol bill would be an owner’s last concern. Whatever the case is, we are in doubt that it will be able to reach the 400km mark, if so, the Veyron is safe. For now.




Here's a couple of videos of the Maximus G-Force Ultima GTR.





Thanks for viewing!

haha this may upset you man, but the veyron isnt the fastest production car in the world, that was just a marketing ploy...the ssc ultimate aero and i think the koenigsegg ccx come in at first and second, just a few km/h higher than the veyron...
