Why it has as much power as Marks car. Also, RobMD will be pushing close the 1K when his car is done next week. Awesome, nonetheless. Good to see that the Germans are keeping up w/ us Yanks

I love how Jeebus (a la simpsons episode where Homer goes to a south pacific island as a missionary) has become common language. .

This will be the fastest accelerating (0-300kph) Porsche ever, the day it goes for the record breaking challenge (late July maybe). If there is one Porsche that can beat the Veyron to 300kph, this is the one, no other street legal Porsche ever will....IMHO

Hey Dan,

Crush? I don't think so, close, maybe yes. Aerodynamics is what will hold them from beating it. Up to 250kph they are very close, this is when drag and (heat soak) will start becoming a handicap for Porsche turbo cars vs. the Veyron, this car had the drag reduced dramatically, that's why it stands a chance. My guess is that Mark's will be around 19+seconds though, a street legal Porsche record!
