There is 212.8 hp per liter on tap, which should be enough to propel the car to 314 mph, TranStar estimates. 0-60 mph should arrive in 1.5 seconds, and the quarter mile at 6.6 seconds at 204 mph. That would also mean that the 200 mph falls in less than 6.6 seconds, whereas the $2 million Bugatti needs 7.3 seconds.

TranStar says that one tank of gas will last for only 6 minutes at 300 mph. Also, don’t think you drive at 300 mph over your average autobahn. Regular tires are not able to sustain these speeds, which means that TranStar will offer landspeed tires as an option.
