Default Dubai made 5000bhp v16 supercar

Anybody seen this unveiled at the Dubai motor show?

Claimed 1.8 0-60 and an eye watering 560kph (350mph) top speed?

Thoughts?

I'm not sure if it's ever driven?

The brakes don't look too confidence inspiring?

Would you trust those brakes at 350mph?

Complete BS. Front air ducts are unsymmetrical, looks like its made out of paper. Noticed in the video its got a mains lead on the floor to power the lights. Watch the dude at 1:00 wipe the front end a bit to hard! I don't think trim should move.

Looks like Lepu is on a wind up.

For 5 000 HP a very slow car. I was rather counting on 500/600 mph!
And how much gears has this monster? 12, 14, 18? or 9 with fucking long ratios? An oil sheik or something like that could buy 100 of those I guess.

If that even moves under its own steam I will eat my own under crackers.

Its blatantly a willy waving exercise by the Arab's, the thing doesn't even have seat belts/harnesses.

Yes
6k+ in the Top dragsters but dont think they can measure it because its a grenade engine only last a few seconds.

Not sure how you would gear for it but 5k bhp would get you to about 375mph .

I read that the tyres on a veyron were developed specifically for it over a 2 year period and can handle 250mph for 15 minutes.

Quite true.
Also a top fuel engine uses Nitromethane for fuel. Also 1.5 gallons per second is consumed.
I think a 10,000 liter fuel tank would have to be towed behind.

This is quite a joke - I suspect some wealthy UAE person would not know the difference between 500 hp and 5000. Wheel spin is still wheel spin.

Yeh but dragsters dont use normal fuel Rodney. Like you said the engines are took apart after 1 or a few runs.
