The gearing on this will hamper it, he changed into top at 300kph !!!
I guess apart from the internal strengthening on this 4litre motor (which BTW I'm sure is carried out on the Texas mile big dawg cars) it will be the heat management which is vital for holding the load for so long. Clue is in water spray to keep the gearbox cool !!!
I wonder what boost it uses at the top end ? and I guess this, being Europe entails pump fuel only ?

Hi all !
I have the last Option Auto too
I'm french, but i'm noob in english ! I am going to try to translate the most important passages.
The engine do 4.0l, it has two turbos F1000. The preparation of the engine costs 130 000 euro. The last two gears are lengthened. The car has less of aerodynamic support to go more quickly. "Connecting rods" are in titanium, the "cylinder head" and "the brace and bit" (I don't know if this tells itself) are seen again, interchanges are bigger and the line makes 76 mm. Suspensions are adaptable in height and in hardness, the stabilizing bars are adaptable too. 9ff wants to pass the symbolic bar of 400 km/h !
60 to 120 mph: 4.8s
120 to 180 mph: 8s
Speed Max: 243,4 mph

are they thinking:100kph = 60 mph
200kph = 120mph
300kph = 180mph
looks like what it is to me since noone doing this test will be watching the mph numbers, so your 60-120 is actually 100-200kph and 4.8s through the gears is pretty damn fast

Yes, I converted 100 kph to 60 mph and 200 kph to 120 mph. But that's true that it is rather respectively 62 and 124 mph. For me, in comparison with the references of the category, this seems to me very very quick ! With only 3 seconds for the 0 to 62 mph, that comes to less of 8 seconds for the 0 to 124 mph !! I want it !

Joking apart, I would imagine that the EVO big builds do not come cheap, they seem to have an array of special bespoke components.....

Im certain that any EVO build is far less than the approx 150K this build costs.. For me hitting 243mph is senseless especially when it takes 5 miles to do so. Im interested in useable performance. I think companies like EVO can provide bolt on kits which will match this 9FF's useable performance.
