Re: Let's talk about cars
Woo hoo! I have the clutch from that Mustang! F--- all else though unfortunately LOL.
Koenigsegg's new offering, the Regera....
This thing is mental!!! 1100bhp V8 coupled to a 700bhp electric motor. The figures for this thing are just insane. £1.2m of your english pounds will buy you a car that does 0-62 in 2.7 seconds. That figure is only that high because of traction. 0-186 in 12 seconds!!!! 0-250 in under 20 seconds!!!!!!!! And the best till last..... 93- 155 in 3.2 seconds!!!!!!!!!! This thing is a rocket ship! It tops out at 255mph. No gears, the launch is handled by the electric motors before the engine kicks in at 30 mph. If you want one, get in quick, they're only building 80 and 4 have already gone! This really is engineering at its absolute finest!!

At a certain point physics is going to get annoying. Traction, friction, air resistance...
