Default Koenigsegg hit back at Bughatti w/ 1018 hp CCXR Biofueled car

I think the 806 HP CCX is still faster than the 1001 Bughatti - it has a higher power to weight ratio than the Bughatti, and better drag co so laws of physics say it will out-do the Veyron in everything. Still, the Bughatti had the HP crown, but I guess that was short lived - http://www.hybridcarnews.org/entry/k...-fuel-powered/

On top of this, it is powered by Biofuel no less! Wow! I guess Biofuel allows for better cooling so it is probably easier to crank up the HP when less heat is generated.

The standard CCX probably can. They took it to about 250 MPH, but it probably can go faster. With an additional 200 HP, you are probably looking at about 430 km/h or better.

A turbine powered vehicle is possible, Jay Leno has a motorcycle powered by a Turboshaft from a Bell Jet Ranger!

Doesn't surprise me. Jay Leno has everything when it comes to ground vehicles.
