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.
