The TKR engine is designed and built by Barabus and incorporates modern racing motor technology and engineering. Based on a V8 all aluminium block re-engineered by Barabus, the twin turbo dual intercooler motor generates 1005 horsepower at 6800 rpm; redlining at 7500 rpm. Space age materials and engineering are used throughout:

A Barabus Electromech control system computer handles engine management.
The ignition system is integrated coil-on-plug.
A longitudinally mounted transaxle, with unique Barabus bell housing, transfers power to the whe

Should be a bit nippy then Caparo T1 should be shitting its self

LOL.

Anyway, reading between the lines, there is an AWFUL LOT of speculation about this car on discussion groups and lots of references to how unlikely it is to actually achieve these kinds of stats in a road-car and also that the registered owner of the Barabus domain seems a little ordinary to be pioneering cars of this standard (with his Manchester address and Hotmail account!)

Some seems a bit "Advanced Vehicle Tuning" About all that.

Esp as the picture of the engine clearly isnt theirs...



Its a pic off the Banks Power website, which IIRC is a pic of an engine from a low volume supercar from america from the mid 90s (dont remember the car, but got a pic in a book somewhere im sure)



The car itself looks like a mildy photoshopped Saleen S7.

And whats with the seats? Why would a supercar like that have what looks like retrimmed Cobra Monacos in it?

You just KNOW the name is to deliberatley confuse them with Brabus too.

Owner, B.A Barabus, I aint gettin in no fake car, fool #


EDIT- YOU FUCKING CUNTS When i started to write the above there was no posts doubting its truthfulness, so I was about to look uber-clever, but now you replied before me

Either way, I still fucking rule with my sherlock holmes style evidence

And yes, them pics in Christians link are the worst photoshops EVER

Is it? I swear to GOD i noticed that myself as I was reading the Banks Power website earlier!

I dont even read any car forum things barring here, GTR forum, and Driftworks. (Ok, SXOC, Turbomustangs, and Namtuners now n again, but not often)

For Fucks Sake, I was the one who wanted to be clever, not everyone else

Well at least I proved AVT to be a total lying CUNT without anyone else doing the same...
