The Birth of the 2000hp Hypercar!
TranStar is working on building TranStar Dagger GT: a hypercar fitted with a 2000hp, twin-tubocharged 9.0-liter GM V8. They're setting out to break the 300 mph production car barrier this monster, too.
Specs:
- Twin-turbocharged GM 572 built by Nelson Racing Engines (2000hp and 2000ft-lbs of torque)
- 3,000lb curb weight
- All carbon fiber construction
- Custom body plugs to bolt on for high-speed runs
- Optional braking parachute
Initial Results:
- 0 - 60 = 1.5 seconds
- 0 - 204 mph = 6.6 seconds
- Top Ppeed = 314mph
- Consumes four gallons of fuel per minute at top speed

Sexy Porsche 918 Spyder (hybrid) video
The 918 Spyder features a mid-mounted 500hp 3.4 liter V8 gasoline engine with a pair of electric motors located on the front and rear axle producing a combined 218hp, for a total system output of 718hp :)
The Run Down (based on the concept version)
- 0 - 100km/h (62mph) time of 3.2 seconds (combined fuel economy of 3.0 lt/100km (78mpg US) with CO2 emissions of just 79g/km)
- Top speed = 320km/h (198mph)
- The 918 Spyder is faster around the Nürburgring Nordschleife than the Carrera GT.

iSpy: Subaru Impreza WRX STI Spec C at the 'Ring

The sedan variant of the Spec C will probably boast similar performance upgrades, like it's hatchback variant, including a tweaked engine with a recalibrated ECU, revised suspension and steering systems, beefier tires and a different limited slip differential along with a lightweight aluminum hood, laminar window glasses and a downsized battery.
