Oh, hey.
We have had the sports car, the super car, the hybrid trifecta, the hyper car, and now we have the new class.

Proper production cars, no track only, no gimmicks. As of right now there are three, two from Koenigsegg and one from Bugatti.

The Chiron (1500hp, <3 second 0-60, 261mph top, $2M)
The One:1 (1341hp, 2.5 second 0-60, 273mph top, $2.85M)
The Regera (1500hp+, 2.8 second 0-60, 270mph top, $1.9M)

Now that, that is speed, and I know speed. Not only are these cars fast, they are expensive, and they are luxurious. I have a history of constantly bad mouthing Koenigsegg and Bugatti, and it appears I will be eating my own words soon. But there is no denying that they both have accomplished something incredibly significant.

Whether you like cars or not, you can't deny that it is incredible that we can produce a land vehicle that can go that fast.

Mega car sounds yucky as a term tbh.

Can't we go back to referring to everything from the Lamborghini Diablo onwards as Super/Hypercars?

Also when is SSC making the Tuatara? I read an article on it in 2010/11 where they were promising stats like 1,700hp, 2.3 second 0-60 and a top speed of 276. Did they abort production/fall short of their goals?

Production cars are getting absurd tbh. I wonder when we'll be bidding farewell to the 300mph barrier.

I believe the Tuatara is still being worked on, but I haven't heard anything about it

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
I don't know man, I mean, the technology and engineering is impressive, but I don't really get excited by anything that's more expensive than a new Viper.
Now super bikes tho... Get rid if the gentlemen's agreement and lets see how fast Kawi, Honda, and Suzuki can get riders to kill them selves on a stock bike at over 200mph.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.

Well some of us (me) put money to join this new era. I for one welcome our new car overlords.

Long live NoNolesNeckin.

Ya fuckin' ganderneck.
Mega doesn't sound any greater than hyper, to me.

Why not giga or something?

Yes, but giga still sounds greater than mega, generally speaking. If they're going to coin another name for these cars, why not make it something that at least has the connotation of 'greater than hyper' and doesn't make them sound like Tonka toys.

I agree, I am not a fan of Mega, or Giga for that matter but I honestly don't know what to call them.

But what if it's not just a Carola but an AE86 Sprinter Trueno? Those things are effing magic, yo. Smoke lambos and shit.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
While trying to pose the question of "can we...?", we forgot to ask "should we...?"

Interesting pieces of machinery I bet, but aside from being on display (at a hair raising speed of 0MPH), where can they be used, and for how long? I remember reading about the consumption rate of the bugatti veyron. Something like the tires only last half an hour, and the fuel around that time if going at top speed.

Cool, but ultimately pointless. I'm not even sure you can race 'em, and even then I expect that to last about as long as Group B in the World Rally Championships.

On a track? Doubt that. Also depends which Lamborghini I bring. Cause there is quite a gap between the three.

You are correct, a Veyron at near top speed wears down its tires in I believe less then a minute. Where can it be used at that speed? Tracks all around the world. I would have gotten a P1 GTR if I lived in Europe, but here in Miami I only have like 2 tracks and none of which are really suitable for something of that magnitude, even if we have a Zonda R prancing around down here.

It is good fun though, track days are incredible fun, and being able to take a friend with you around at speeds they have never been at or imagined being in (in a car) can be incredibly funny. You begin to understand it when you see a car of that magnitude do a straight launch.

Also Hennessey

Ha.
Whats so bad about Hennessey?

They lack the ability to maneuver well. Atleast the Venom. They have a new one coming soon that seems like it will break that trend. They are very good at the speed thing, even starting a rivalry with Bugatti (which they won with the SS) just not so much round track

Yeah, the Venom can't maneuver for shit. The new one is called the Venom F5.

No man, you don't get it. It's running boost on the hopes and dreams of weaboos everywhere. You can't beat that shit.
