The Acabion GTBO

It's a little enclosed bullet-car not unlike the Litestar and Pulse designs of the 80s, only this time with a few hundred horse Hayabusa engine.

The result is a vehicle which is "electronically limited to 340MPH" (which it allegedly achieves at roughly half throttle). Of course, I was unable to find impartial third-party test data, but hey. You need to respect ~1hp per pound.

I particularly like this part from the article:

"You should be a reasonable chance at the traffic-light drag races too, because if you gun it and that poor, tortured rear tyre hooks up, the designers claim you should be able to hit 300mph in under 30 seconds. In other words, there’s no vehicle better than a GTBO if you really want to GTFO."

Click to expand...

I didnt understand that either, but 340mph at half throttle... holy crap...

That thing would probaly cruise like a damn airplane if it was electronically limited...

I don't think if offers the comfort or the liviablity of the veyron by any measurable standard. There are already faster cars then the Veyron.

Cool looking machine but, i'd hate to see what would happen if those "training" wheels went bad at 350mph. Pearl02.
