Here's the link to a new artical from Evo magazine:

It's definitely going to be a monster to handle in comparison to the Bugatti. Now awd on this beast!

That thing is UGLY!!

Sucks customer's cars will be limited to 225. Not that 90% of the 10 people that buy one will ever push it past 200.

I HIGHLY doubt that an extra 100 ft-lbs of torque and 10 HP get you another 25MPH at those speeds.

:lol: limited to only 225. For safety's sake of course.

to BristolÔÇÖs calculations, the new Fighter T, as the car has been named, should be capable of ÔÇÿover 270mphÔÇÖ

somehow I think they forgot the little factor called "air resistance" and its exponential effect at higher speeds. oh well, looks like they wont have to actually back it up anyway
