Also, what of the F1 LM. At 5 models I suppose its production, and the acceleration alone is .4 faster than the regular f1. Better high speed aero and 60 bhp more... F1 LM smokes the competition... unless the TVR Speed 12 was ever production (I'm really not sure).

Re: Fastest Production Car
Only 2 Speed 12s were made. Never went into production.

Fastest production car
All these test are done by professionals. If you ask me the test should be done by someone who drives the cars daily. Then ask them how fast they have taken their cars. All these tuned cars are ruled out when talking about production cars.

This will end the discussion.....
copyed from www.koenigsegg.com 2003-11-24 Koenigsegg in Guinness Book of World Records Koenigsegg has received a Guinness Record for the most powerful production car in the world. Koenigsegg is replacing the Mclaren F1 for this record! Christian v. Koenigsegg said he his happy that Guinness has recognized the CC and that he will strive for the official top speed record as well. |

I don't even think the Veyron hit production yet, and if it did it was very recently. But when it does/did start being produced, it will be/is the fastest production car. 987 HP after US restrictions, 1001 without. 0-60 in less than 3 seconds. Top speed of 252 MPH. I don't think the Koenigsegg has numbers like that.

Re: Fastest Production Car
Actually the Lingenfhelter tuned corvette goes 0-60 in 1.9sec. I don't know where you got the numbers that a stock production camaro goes 0-60 in 2.2.

Well, the F1 LM was designed more for track use, not outright top speed; If I remember correctly, they estimated its top speet to be about 220 or so mph, but has much more downforace at high speeds, and the extra power accounts for the increase in acceleration.
And the Koenigsegg being in the Guiness book of records for the most powerful production car doesnt mean much; If a car had 2000hp, but weighted 14 tons and seats 12, well, it would be the most powerful production car, but it definately wouldnt be the fastest.

If you want a picture, google the CC8S, you'll get plenty. And yeah, the power thing doesn't really matter in the end, it's the performance.
Also, about the Lingenfelter vette, I understand the torque that it creates is enormous and since it comes from lingenfelter is probably produced on a wide band. But, with 200 less than the Veyron (yes it is 1,200 lighter) how can it accelerate in 1 full second faster. For that matter what tires did they fit it with the keep it from just bogging down at the start? Without either enormous tires or some sort of power distribution, 1.9 secs seems somewhat impossible. By the way, who verified the 1.9 sec 0-60? |

A street legal car does not equal production car.
