5000 with bends like that, throw some freeflows on and get 6000 in the morning still an impressive bit of kit though, would love to actaully see under the hood/shell and have a bit more info curb weight etc, take some good kit to get 5000 on the ground and once there keep it there, and get it stopped at the end of the street too
i think they used the same guy that rates flash drives and AA size battery capacity to work out the HP.

5000hp, bottle top brakes, looks like a winning combination.

4WD, chewing gum tyres. with helium, carbon fibre everything, silk nightshirt, bare feet, clean shaven (yeah right), love to see some 'proof' to the claims.

Does no one do research before they make claims anymore?
"The Worlds first V16 Car"
About 80 years too late.
Marmon (?) but definitely Cadillac had a 'consumer' available V16 in the early '30s.

Bs. That thing is a rashly put together fake. There are so many reasons why this is bs so let's start with a public fact. No one can make tyres that will go that speed or handle that acceleration, that's why the veyron is limited. Bs.

Check out the three little bolts each side holding that rear wing on. Yeah right.

he says it has 4 turbos. but the exhaust clearly shows 16 primaries merging (badly) into the exhaust at the rear. there a no turbos on that car

Is it phiysicly possible to do 0-100 in 1.8 sec ?

Top fuel dragster gets to 100mph in less than a second, so yes its possible
take a look at the exhaust on the first model Suzuki Hayabusa at your next opportunity
it will surprise you

but as for that show car - the panel & paint & interior have a reasonable level of finish . . . . .
so were they not able to afford a half-trained metal worker for that exhaust ?!?!?!?

If they smoothed out the exhaust pipe flow (too many sharp corners), they could easily get a lot more horsepower. Those sudden curves would just destroy power, because the sound wave pressure - which is crucial for tuning torque delivery - would be seriously compromised. And, as far as top end horsepower goes, you need a straight flowing pipe to get best results.
5000hp. In their dreams.

Goldenrod went 409MPH with 4x Chrysler Hemis making 2400hp in 1965.
So there's no reason this COULDN'T be real. but the excessive size of the "5000HP" signs on each side of the engine makes me suspect this thing is probably intended to be enjoyed static in a garage, by those whose friends all own gold-plated Pagani Zondas already so you need something BIG to impress your mates.

Remember, this one is only the prototype.

he says it has four turbos yet you can clearly see the badly fabbed primary runners going out the back of the car. there are no turbos on that car.
