Brit supercar in record-breaking bid

The fastest model at the Motor Show was also the UK's newest and most extreme supercar.

31st July 2006

The Barabus TKR uses a mid-mounted 7.0-litre twin-turbo V8 to produce 1,005bhp - that's more than a Bugatti Veyron! Hand-built in Manchester, the TKR is said to be capable of 0-60mph in "less than two seconds" and have a top speed of 270mph.

We'll see if the £300,000 machine can live up to these claims in November, when it will attempt to take the world records for fastest 0-60mph, 0-100mph, 100-0mph and top speed for a production car. Incredibly, the firm is working on a V16 version that will be even quicker!
