Drag varies as the square of speed, which translates to top speed being related to the cube of horsepower. So, twice the horsepower would get you a factor of 2^(1/3) on top speed, which is about 26% extra, on a base of 250 for the Veyron, which translates to about 315 MPH. That assumes, of course, comparable aerodynamics. If they're asserting that they expect only 265, that would make sense only if they're cranking on the downforce (which at those speeds, I would damn well hope they are), or the entire design is massively aerodynamically inefficient by modern standards.

As for the acceleration figures, 2,000 HP in a car weighing 3,200lbs with a driver should crack 200MPH in the 1/4, somewhere in the mid-6's. Realistically, it's traction limited, but the 1/4 mile time should be at least sub-8 second and 180+ trap speed.

 

I posted in this thread this morning... but its gone.

Hmmmm. Ninjas.

 

So...is it a Lambo or not.... I guess the 572 twin Turbo GM based engine would say no. Hard to believe Lamborghini would sanction anything that received a heart transplant. No thanks if it is faster I'd prefer the original.

 

Wow, that's really ugly!

 

Fugly. Looks like a 12 year old thought he had talent and tried making a new version of the Mclaren MP4-12C. Chevy 572 TT? Horrible Design? 2000HP? Are you sure Lamborghini is making this? Lol

 

"huge 14" 6-piston brakes"? Maybe 10 years ago that would be considered huge.

This shouldn't be considered a Lamborghini at all, they've only sponsored the design program.

 

So technically speaking this car has nothing at all to do with Lamborghini...

 

lol yes, pretty much. You can see that the concept is derived from other Lamborghini models, but it won't be built by Lamborghini or have any Lamborghini parts...

It always helps to throw a big name that everyone knows in front of your "model car." Lame.

 

Well, it is designed by one of their students who graduated from the design program Lambo sponsored...

 

maybe they should actually study up on their own market... ssc aero held the record from '07- '10, only last year did bugatti get it back.
