An 8 ROTOR SUPERCAR!!!
AN 8 Rotary Super Car ANYONE???
ROTARY SUPERCARS
http://www.worldcarfans.com/11108243...on-super-sport
Rotary Supercars has announced one of their upcoming models will be offered with an eight-rotor rotary engine that develops 2,840 PS (2089 kW / 2801 hp) and 2,580 lb-ft (3,494 Nm) of torque.
This will supposedly enable the car to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in less than one second (Top Fuel dragster territory) and hit a top speed in excess of 450 km/h (279 mph). If these figures pan out, the model would trounce the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport and claim a new world speed record for a production vehicle if it indeed achieves that status.
Previously, Rotary Supercars announced their Predator GT with a four-rotor Wankel engine - based on the Mazda 13B MSP - would develop up to 1,200 PS (883 kW / 1184 hp) and a second model called the VelociRaptor was also in construction.
We're taking everything with a grain of salt, but the company has plans to unveil their first model at Top Marques Monaco 2012.

me too, I was asked to come on board and be part of the company. I was asked to design the body, I did a couple initial concepts but did not hand them over due to a lack of payment. A few weeks later is when the photoshopped 599 appeared on the web, which wasnt even a good ps.

I called BS the first time I heard of this company. Talk is cheap. The opposite was the Fraser-Nash Namir that displayed a concept vehicle to demonstrate their technology. You can research their capital backing and history vs this nonsense.

Thats funny Kaz told that there were already investors lined up, although that was in the same lines as "ohh just send me what you got now(concepts) and Ill send the money in a little bit"

and ill doubt they just mash up existing parts cuz i imagine it will be hard to find parts that meet weight requirements while being able to handle those kinds of powers.
