Fastest CURRENT production car in the world

[crayzayjay]

This post has sort of been brought over here from another forum.

Just to begin with, as far as im concerned, the fastest current production car in the world is the RUF R Turbo, if anyone has any proof stating otherwise please post your facts. And i repeat, 'cos some people didnt seem to understand, we are talking about CURRENT fastest production car, that means being made right now

Now to settle a few things

when we started this argument, the word currently was not in ur posts, so i stated my side of the fastest production car.
and even still the RUF is far from being the top with currently made production cars, go read a fucking magazine before you state some shit that you have no proof about.

Ok a-hole, get your reading glasses out and get ready to eat some humble pie

1. I refer you to my post made in the GT3 forum dated 01-13-2002 09:45 PM, where i wrote

so thank you very much, i did include the word currently in my posts, it would have saved us all a lot of trouble if you could read/understand the word

2. I did read a magazine thank you very much, i wouldnt claim something because i "felt like it"

EVO magazine, Jan 2002 (I know its July now but lets face it its taken you 6 months to understand what the word "currently" means".. anyway, i quote from this established, very well respected magazine in their car of the year edition:

"And then there's the RUF R Turbo, with its narrow 911 body, Lambo-baiting 520bhp and an independently verified top speed of 213 mph. It's currently the world's fastest production car, but is it the best to drive? It looks absolutely stunning, but if it wins, will that count as another bloody 911 victory?"

I repeat, crxlvr,
It's currently the world's fastest production car
It's currently the world's fastest production car
It's currently the world's fastest production car
It's currently the world's fastest production car
It's currently the world's fastest production car
It's currently the world's fastest production car
It's currently the world's fastest production car
It's currently the world's fastest production car
It's currently the world's fastest production car

Just what dont you understand? I did read a f*cking magazine. I based my fact on what i read from this magazine. Im not really very hopeful that you will face up to your mistake and admit you were wrong because one of the following 3 will have probably happened:

1. You still dont understand what the word "currently" means
2. You will try to discredit the magazine, after all who knows best a spotty 16 year old or a bunch of experienced motoring journos, right?
3. You are too proud to admit you were wrong

... all of which would be a great shame.

sorry to post this in front of everyone

cheers,

The TVR Cerbera Speed 12 has a top speed of 240mph (give or take).

[crayzayjay]

I know they raced those, but did TVR actually make them in road form? I didnt think they'd got 'round to making them

[Fliquer]

I know the made a Cerbera, I forget whether they made a speed 12 version.

But anyway, the B Engineering "Edonis" has a top sped of 224 (and i KNOW they make these) so the porsche isnt the fastest.

does the Lingenfelter 427 TT count as a production car? it is made in a factory. 0-60 in 1.97sec, 1/4 mile in 9.24sec, and tops out around 240mph (I think I remembered these correctly). All of this for around $175k

I have never heard of this magical car, please show us some proof, cause' I don't buy that.

You cant count the Lingenfelter as a production car. They upgrade cars but dont manufacture them.

The whole "production" thing is kinda vague. I really dont consider a car that has only a few dozen created as a "Production" car. If they aren't at least making them by the hundreds or better yet, thousands a year, then its a novelty car (albiet a damn expensive one)

check out last months issue of motor trend, or the lingenfelter website. its a stock c5 vette, with the ls1 bored out to 427ci. new cams, heads, intake, exhaust, etc. and a couple of turbos putting out around 15 pounds of boost. this gives it 800+ hp...close to the 255mph Sledgehammer.

if the 427tt doesn't count because of production #s, the Edonis, Speed 12, and R turbo probably shouldn't count either. I don't know about their #s, but it probably isn't 100+ annually

So would you not consider the Ferrari F50 a production car?

[Hamann]

What about the Dauer 962 LM?
It is still in production and it goes over 400 km/h.

I know the dictionary count anything as being assembled as being production. Thats to wide open for me. Someone in their garage can assemble the fastest car. So no, I dont consider the F50 to be a production car.

Unless this degrades into an arguement for symantics (formula one racing cars are "produced") I'd rather know what the fastest production car built on an assembly line is. This pretty much eliminates the hyper exotics and most exotic cars.

I thought they made around 350 F50s...they aren't currently in production though

[Polygon]

Well, I doubt they are or will be for long. The F60 is on its way in.

[MercedesAMG]

The RUF turbo R is rated at 215mph but the Pagani Zonda C-12S at 220mph. So it's currently the fastest.

[Fliquer]

Except the Edonis goes 224mph, which I already mentioned several replies ago...

I think not all, but MOST ppl here consider a production car to be a vehicle sold to the public that can be driven on public roads legally.
