I don't think it's for sale. I saw it in a magazine yesterday and thought that I'd share it with you guys. He definately wins major originality points.

Close enough...

170 kilowatts = 227.973 horsepower.

550 kilograms = 1212.5 pounds.

1212.5 lbs / 227.973 hp = 5.318 lbs per 1 hp <---STI ATV

2601.4 lbs / 806 hp = 3.227 lbs per 1 hp <---Koenigsegg CCR

478 lbs / 173 hp = 2.763 lbs per 1 hp <---2005 Hayabusa 1300

3219 lbs / 300 hp = 10.73 lbs per 1 hp <---Z32 TT

That think has to freaking move. Reminds me of the alcohol banshees from Mischief Invasion.

I'm not sure. It's got a much better power to weight ratio than the Z32TT, but not as good as the Koenigsegg...I guess it's in the middle somewhere. Yea...it's probably pretty fast.

Bear in mind the Koenigsegg is a Million dollar supercar, where as the ATV was built in some kiwis garage for probly $40,00 if he had to get a donor car $10,000 if he just bought parts. What you are comparing doesn't make sense.

It's purely a numbers thing man. Nothing more. Just meant to give perspective to how fast it is...that's all.

what is a koenigsegg?? A F1 car? I bet the 0-60 for that ATV is WAAAAYYY under 4 seconds...... Is it AWD? If so, I cant imagine off-roading in that thing.

A koenigsegg is a BAD ASS car made in Europe. It beat the world speed record. Go to koenigsegg.com and check them out.

I think they're legal here, but I dunno. I know they're CRAZY expensive...regardless...I can't buy one. The thing I like about it is that, not only is it REALLY FUCKING FAST, but it also looks KILLER. Just wish it was turbo not S/C...oh well...it works, I guess...

yah a twin turbo setup on that thing wouldve been better in my opinion.
