Record Breaking Run for Maxximus LNG 2000
4 world speed recoords broken at South Georgia Moorsports Park on January 23rd by Maxximus LNG 2000 including 0-60MPH in a staggering 1.96 seconds

Los Angeles, California – February 8, 2012 – It was a day for the automotive history books when the Maxximus LNG 2000, the brainchild of financier Bruce McMahan and Indianapolis based designer Marlon Kirby, took to the track and shattered four world records, making it not only the world’s fastest street legal car but the fastest LNG powered supercar ever created. While others may claim records through bravado and hyperbole the Maxximus team, which holds proprietary technology for LNG systems, is now the proud holder of a vehicle poised to revolutionize our gas guzzling habits and replace them with eco friendly technology that can reduce our dependence on foreign fuel sources.

So an Ultima look alike kit car went fast. Shocker

 

159.9 mph without rear body/aero is impressive…button it up and take it to Texas Mile

 

- How many "kit-cars look like" based on the Ultima GTR are in the world?
- No idea, but I show you two of them property of Jon Olsson (these two don't look like kit-cars):

Ultima GTR LMP:


Rebellion R1K:

 

^those r the same car in different stages

 

Well, it change a lot.

 

Ultima GTR's are fast. End of story.

P.s. Do you this car has enough support for their front splitter?

 

I want that Red Bull one :P Makes me thirsty...

 

I'm sorry but this article is just rubbish. The only unique thing about this car is the fact it runs on LNG. It’s an Ultima plain and simple and to state otherwise is an outright lie.

As for being the fastest streetcar, give me a break. How do they classify a streetcar? If it’s a road legal car that passes all the legal requirements in its land of origin then I can point you to a number of cars that would make this thing look dead slow.

As an example Andy Frost in the UK has just taken his car to a six second run, you can see it hear:

And here you can see it being driven on the road in England where it is fully street legal. The fact is things that a street legal car in in the USA could get away with would never be allowed in the UK

And lets not forget that a couple of US based street cars are even faster than Andy's
