Barabus Sportscars, a specialty engine and vehicle manufacturer has created the most powerful supercar. with the launch of the Barabus TKR.

A true supercar, the TKR is capable of over 200 miles per hour. Zero-to-60 time is under two seconds. When designing the TKR, Barabus put drivability on a wide variety of road conditions high on the list of on the list of objectives. And, while the TKR would be at home on any racetrack, it is also a car that can be driven with pleasure on motorways, autobahns and back roads. The car is to be made in Italy and the power plant is built in the United Kingdom. While the TKR is a true Italian supercar, the vehicle itself reflects a "best-in-practice" philosophy, where Barabus has incorporated superior components from around the globe in order to manufacture the best vehicle possible. The TKR utilizes ceramic brakes as well as numerous high technology pieces from companies located in Italy. The Barabus TKR architecture begins with a full carbon fibre body and chassis. Suspension is fully independent unequal length "A" arms. The TKR chassis and suspension are straight from the race track; Adonis Alanagan was enlisted to assist with the design and building of the supercar and packaging of the TKR. The TKR engine is designed and built by Barabus and incorporates modern racing motor technology and engineering. Based on a V8 all aluminium block re-engineered by Barabus, the twin turbo dual intercooler motor generates 1005 horsepower at 6800 rpm; redlining at 7500 rpm. Space age materials and engineering are used throughout:
The gill-like ducting is fully functional, venting air into the engine.

It has a very feminine appeal. The only masculine quality it possesses is its rather speedy performance.
 @lollollol - well it’s not a drag car, also tkr has a different engine, it uses pistons and fuel but what you’re saying is a Rocket propelled engine. IMO brabus was rated as the fastest car in the world out performing the Bugatti.
 If you look carefully at their website in the engine tab, the engine displayed is a bank engine twin turbo setup without intercoolers. I recall you that bank is a american company that builds twin turbo setup for pushrod v8s . Didnt Barabus say it was going to be a English engine ?
 I’m tired of people saying you can do 0-60 in under two seconds. A top fuel dragster can keep traction with 8000 hp doing 0-60 in 0.8+ seconds. It depends if the car has the tires,suspension, and aerodynamics to keep them on the surface. It is not impossible but i truely doubt this car exists, let alone does that 0-60 time. considering that a 2300 lb "car(dragster)" that has 8000 hp only does 0.8... do the math similar weight 7000 less horse power. think they would only have less then a .8 second difference? LOL dont write articles if you are only copying info that you saw on other sites TopSpeed mmkay? Most sites tend to have videos of the car driving before they are this biased towards a ride.
 THIS CAR IS SO FAKE. First off Barabus doesnt even have its own website, the sites that come up have no record of this cars existance. AND from what i hear the car is italian, and i am not familiar with the language , but BARABUS does not sound italian.
goKarter (6682) - Posted on 03.31.2008 If this was a real car and could do 60mph in 1.57 secs, than why hasn’t any other car gotten even close to that? it is obvious that this is only a rumor. Barabus doen’t have a proper website.
get out (6682) - Posted on 03.20.2008 1.67, that is the biggest lie ive ever heard, so what nearing .8 of a second than the Veyron (claimed)? they have got to be joking
