German brand says it will build a car with 2089kW of power, 3494Nm of torque and a 0-600km/h time of seven seconds.
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 0-600km/h time – yes, 600km/h – of 7.0 seconds. It can also apparently get to 300 km/h in the same amount of time it takes a Nissan GT-R or Porsche 911 Turbo S to get to 100km/h. 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. Advertisement: Story continues below 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 0-100km/h 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 0-100km/h 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 (431.07km/h). We’ll believe it when we see it. I say..give it to the Stig!!!!

can't see that happening "faster acceleration than a top fuel"..
from memory their was a four engined (one for each wheel) dragster, and it still could only manage 6.5 second 1/4 with it's 12,000+ horse power..

What type of auto could handle that much power and torque, a truck auto?
0-100 on 0.9 secs. HAHAHAHA Good luck getting all that power down without vapourising all 4 tyres. Is it April 1st? |
