Keating TKR Seeks 'Fastest Car in the World' Title PROBABLY THE FASTEST CAR IN THE WORLD - KEATING TKR DEBUTS AT MPH SHOW
British supercar manufacturer and challenger for the production car world land speed record, Keating, will have its 260.1mph TKR supercar on display at this year's MPH Show featuring Top Gear Live at London's Earls Court on 5 November.
In the first of two runs on the Salt Lake Flats in California last month, the remarkable 7.0 litre, 1800 BHP Keating TKR smashed the current record, adding an extra 3 mph to the top speed of existing title holder, the Shelby Aero TT. Now the Manchester based company must do it again to ensure entry in the Guinness Book of World Records.
But before it returns to California, the breathtaking Keating TKR will make its MPH show debut in London tomorrow in front of capacity crowds.
Tony Keating, founder of Keating Supercars, said: "The Keating TKR realises our ambition to take on the world's finest supercars and win. This car rivals them all for looks, handling, performance and exclusivity. And best of all, it's British."
The awesome piece of engineering will be on the Reef Paint Shop stand at MPH The Prestige and Performance Motor Show. Reef Paint Shop Managing Director, Andrew Figini, said: "We are delighted to have the association with Keating and be part of the MPH Show.
"We stripped the original red colour and replaced with a gloss black finish with custom flair in candy-brandy wine before clear-coating - it looks spectacular when the light hits it."

Lol at the rear end - it's a complete copy of the zonda! Also, the slats on the rear window makes the car look like it has half of a late 80's / early 90's mustang strapped to it!
Is it a re-bodied Ultima GTR?
