I really think they need to bump up "production" to 1000 or 10,000 cars. Whatever the requirement is now is too low to be described as "production." Most of these cars are crafted (no assembly line), not produced (assembly line).

Lamborghini

Called the Urus, its new four-seat sports utility vehicle is expected to cost around £180,000 and become one of the fastest family cars on the planet.

Unconfirmed reports say it will be powered by a turbo-assisted 4.0-litre V8 engine that should have around 650bhp, eclipsing the 600bhp of the Bentley Bentayga but a little short of the ballistic 697bhp Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk.

The mode switch shown in the video suggests there will be six different options to choose from, with Italian names: Strada (road), Sport, Corsa (track), Sabbia (sand), Terra (dirt) and Neve (snow).

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has started shipping the first of its controversial 018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demons to dealers, the automaker announced.

The limited edition, 840-horsepower mega-muscle car is being marketed as the industry's first street-legal production drag car.

It can do 0-30mph in one second, 0-60mph in 2.3 seconds and cover the quarter mile in 9.65 seconds while doing 140mph.

Pricing for the vehicle starts at $84,995, which includes a $1,700 gas guzzler tax but excludes a $1,095 destination shipping fee.

Fiat Chrysler said earlier this year the the new car would be the most powerful production car ever.

Its incredible power has helped the Dodge enter the Guinness World Records by being the first production car to pull a wheelie off the line under full acceleration.

When the Demon set its quarter-mile time, the National Hot Rod Association gave Dodge the badge of honour of banning it from drag strips.

The stunning performance is thanks to a 6.2-litre supercharged V8 engine which develops a staggering 840bhp.

The force from a full-throttle acceleration puts so much weight on the back wheels, that it forces the front off the ground, travelling almost three-feet.

Tesla has unveiled the fastest production car ever made

The $200,000 (£151,000) sports car - an updated version of Tesla's first production vehicle - can seat four and travel 620 miles (1000 km) on a single charge, a new record for an electric vehicle.

The car - which also features a removable glass roof - can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour (0 to 100 km/h) in 1.9 seconds and has a top speed over 250mph (400 kph).

This would make it the quickest electric car ever sold to the public, beating the Chinese-made NIO EP9 all-electric hypercar, which has a top speed of 194 mph (310 kph).

https://www.nio.io/ep9

It also makes the vehicle the fastest production car ever, with a 0 to 60 miles per hour acceleration quicker than any non-electric vehicles, including the record-breaking Bugatti Chiron, released this year.



TESLA ROADSTER VS THE NIO EP9 HYPERCAR
With a top speed of over 250 mph (400 kph), Tesla's new Roadster will challenge the Chinese NIO EP9 all-electric hypercar for the spot of fastest electric car in the world.

The $1.5 million (£1.2 million) hypercar, built by a small electric car start-up based in Shanghai, can hit speeds of 194 mph (310 kph) and goes from 0 to 60 miles per hour (0 to 100 km/h) in 2.7 seconds.

Tesla's Roadster, which has three electric engines to the EP9's four, will go from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 100 km/h) in 1.9 seconds.

The two-seat EP9 can be recharged from flat in as little as 45 minutes, and offers a range of more than 265 miles (425 km).

By comparison, Tesla's Roadster will cost $200,000 (£151,000), can seat four and will travel 620 miles (1000 km) on a single charge.

The EP9 is designed for track racing, and so far maker NIO has only put it through a small production run, with six early investors receiving a vehicle this year.

The firm has confirmed it will produce a further 10 cars for the general public at a later date.

The 'Miss R' 1,000-kilowatt (1,341-hp) electric on-road/off-road supercar will be able to accelerate from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 1.8 seconds - a tenth of a second faster than Elon Musk's Tesla Roadster.

The firm says the secret behind its performance is a patented immersion cooling technology.

The 'XING Battery System' consists of stackable, LEGO-like battery modules which house 42 lithium-ion cells, all of which sit directly in a special liquid.

Called 3M™ Novec™ 7200 Engineered Fluid, it long been used for solvent cleaning, heat transfer applications, fire suppression and supercomputer cooling.

XING Mobility says it has adapted the liquid to keep its battery packs cool.

highly efficient and lightweight battery swap system that allows the entire battery enclosure to be exchanged within 5 minutes.

190mph Urus SUV that's more powerful than a McLaren F1 and will beat a Ferrari F40 in a sprint to 62mph

Revealed in Italy today, the Urus uses a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine packing 641bhp and will cost £157,800 or $200,000 before tax.

The addition of two turbos to the Urus’ V8 engine – which is taken from the Bentley Continental GT and Audi RS6 –and four wheel drive means it will launch from a standstill to 62mph in no less than 3.6 seconds – that’s quicker than a Ferrari F40 and F50 and fast enough to embarrass Aston Martin’s V12 DB11 in a sprint.

[FatLeeAdama]

The speed difference is about 3.4%, so I can't really see that being much of an issue. Perhaps it's just a case of what the tyres are officially rated at and if they go above it there are liability issues?

Could be a lot of things, but I'm sure they have a good reason for it whatever it is, as 300 in marketing sounds a lot better than 290.

Air resistance increases exponentially, so even though the difference is only 3.4% the resistance in that 10 mph is huge! Also I'm sure tires which have a speed rating are coming into play with the top speed as well.

A driverless electric hypercar that uses a 1,914 horsepower engine has been unveiled by Croatian firm Rimac.

Concept Two, 'C_Two' for short, can do 0-60mph (0-100kph) in just 1.85 seconds and reach speeds of 260mph (420kph), the company says.

If the company's claims are confirmed, it would make it the fastest electric production car in existence - faster than the next-generation Tesla Roadster, which goes from 0–60 in 1.9 seconds.

The vehicle's 120 kWh battery gives it a range of 400 miles (640 km) according to Rimac - twice as far as most production electric vehicles.

The company claims the C_Two's battery, powered by seven million lithium cells, charges to 80 per cent in just 30 minutes on their network of charging stations.

It will also feature facial-recognition technology, allowing drivers to unlock the vehicle with a glance.

Rimac claims the C_Two accelerates to 100mph (160kph) in 4.3 seconds and can cover a quarter mile (0.4km) in 9.1 seconds.

It also comes with Level Four autonomous capabilities, meaning it can operate without a human driver on all road-types

Here are the top five fastest production electric cars.

1) Rimac Concept Two: 0-60mph (0-100kph) in 1.85 seconds

2) Tesla's next generation Roadster: 0-60 in 1.9 seconds

3) Aspark Owl: 0-60 in 1.921 seconds

4) Faraday Future FF 91: 0-60 in 2.39 seconds

5) Tesla Model S P100D: 0-60 in 2.4 seconds

Such cars are absolutely bullshit and only improves E-peen online and offline at birthdays. I used to have an Audi RS4 B5 2.7 V6 Bi-turbo doing a whopping 460HP & 600NM of torque. The top of that car was 310. And knowing i lived near german highway it was a usual sunday to take that thing out for a ride. It took me 3 months (!) before i even dared to come across 300kmph (180mph that is). And once you've done it you realise you can only last for a few minutes because it's so intens fast and concentration eating. You cant drive 300 every day or even if it's allowed on the highway officially, always have to take care about other factors as well. nice marketing stunt; but utterly dangerous.

That was me on the Nurburgring. Did a total of 6 laps in 2 days. It's fun!

Most exotics/hyper cars are junk. The only one worth buying is a Koenigsegg. How many miles do you think I can get out of a Ferrari before it catches fire? I guess it doesn't matter with F You money, but why would I want to drive garbage (yeah, the real answer is attention whore/small penis)?

Lol man. Please test-drive an exotic car. Buying them is a different story. But humans are humand and people want to have something exclusively. If not they would have settled with a typical volkswagen in the first place.

Good cars costs money. R&D primarily. Second is build quality. Third is just looks of the car. When i bought my RS4 B5 i knew i was instant in love. I would never tune up slow ass cars ever again and simply head for cars that actually have build quality. It's just designed to be fast and it feels very complete.

Hundreds of Gs for a spontaneously combustible car doesn't say much for build quality. Or clutches that wear out in 20k and they want 20k to replace the. GTFO is what I say.

Yeah that's whats called the law of physics. It's normal to have extreme kevlar clutches, gold plated turbo's, keramic brakes as big as your mom's washing machine and what more. Those cars need to be reliable at any given speed. If you'd buy a car that does unlimited 300kmph you may expect that the thing brakes properly at that speed. And you cant simply attach cheap brakes from walmart and expect things to work perfectly fine. You want quality it will cost you money. Many of those cars are crafted by hand, and that is what makes it expensive as well.

Geezus, when my turbo's needed to be replaced i could assure you the engine had to be pulled out, and both turbo's and not just one had to be replaced. With labour you are looking at 2 days of work (1500 euro) and 2500 euro worth of turbo's. It was usual for those type of cars.

Or what about the RS6 C5, where the brakes wear much faster due to the cars terrible weight, and would not less then 20 up to 60k. What about tires? You'd change them within 20k. It's normal for fast cars.

The prices aren't normal. It's all deemed "special" so there's huge markups. If there's aftermarket parts available, then it costs nothing. It's inflated bullcrap to make more money. Not that the car is comparable, since it's a real production car, but you can buy aftermarket GTR pads for 150 bucks that are quality. Stealership would bend you over for several hundred. Absurd.

Tires, yes, they are a heavy wear item for grip, which is expected. I have MT drag radials . Even the DD gets soft compound.

Don't get me started on engineering decisions.... Lol. Give me modded all day over stock. Can unbolt a single T front, mid or rear in minutes!

Yeah well only an idiot with an exotic car would take it to the dealer. But by going dealer you still have something very valuable and that is ownership and maintaince done at the dealer, and not some bogus garage. I'd prefer a good auto to be covered by the dealer for example.

Automotive business is a billion dollar industry world-wide. Ofcourse money is to be made. When you take the original brakes of an Audi RS4 B5, they will charge you 4800 euro (!!). Same type of brakes but from another brand 1200. What's the big difference? The R&D that was once done needs to be made back, but they never changed it and kept those part very, very expensive.

You can hate the automotive business all you want, but for every niche there's a market. PC is simular. You pay double for a l33t card, chip or whatever it is that rocks your socks.
