Default Maxximus G - Force: Bugatti Veyron killer

The Maxximus G-Force, with 1,600hp and 2,700lbs, is said to be the fastest street-legal car in the world, the title which was given by the World Record Academy. The sprint rate for the G-Force is 0-60mph in just 2.1 seconds, 0.4 seconds faster than the regular Bugatti Veyron.

It can also go from 0-100mph in 4.54 seconds and a 0-100-0 in just 8.86 secs. No figure for maximum speed is available though. For the G-Force to have the title of the fastest production car it has to beat the top speed of the SSC Ultimate Aero of 257mph. Marlon Kirby and David McMahan, designer and financier of the G-Force, respectively, unveiled the machine earlier this week. The foundation of the G-Force is the British-built Ultima GTR 720 from which the chassis, drivetrain and gearbox were replaced. The G-Force comes with the twin-turbo 7.0L Chevrolet V8 powerplant, a 3-speed transmission shifted via paddle shifters, 6-piston AP racing braked equipped with 14.2 inch rotors for stopping power. The G-Force will be shown at the Big Boy’s Toys Super Show in Abu Dhabi on the 30th of April with a $3 million price tag.

here are some better shots. It looks like a kit car that they just shoe horned a monster motor into. The ultima is a great start. Its a paper weight. What ever the equation, the result is a Veyron smoker. I would still bet that the Veyron will turn more heads. If it was up to me I would save the cash and buy a G force. Imagine this thing on the way to Vegas at 3 am.

I always thought the Ultima was a beautiful car. I still think its a great chasis to work with if you wanted to go Frankenstein with your super car. I think the noble would also be a solid choice, but I think the ultima is lighter

if i had 3 million dollars, i would not drive one.

no way i'd be seen driving that even if i had $3,000 . . .

$300 and an hours worth of track time? maybe

seriously tho, for that kinda money, i'd rather be in a veyron in style and comfort and have the extra money to spend on a candy pink paint job and deck out the exterior/interior with pink rhinestones and have paris hilton in the passenger seat listening to britney speares circus . . .\


that's an insane car, just not for me. lol not even in my dreams
