ITT : Absolute Mad Man Cars

The obvious McLaren P1 GT-R
>tfw roadlegal

FUCK

>mid engine, AWD, twin-charged, rumored to be pushed to 4 digit hp numbers for rally stages

935 seem scary and so flawed
i think of them as 4 speeds of death cars. most of the weight behind the axle, insane power, huge turbo lag

if you watch old races they spun off the track all the time

literally anything made by tvr, old 911s, "economy" sport cars with "exotic" layouts (mr2, corvair, maybe even the fiero just because it exist)

>rumored to be pushed to 4 digit hp numbers for rally stages
Unlikely, F1 engines of the time pushed 1000hp and lasted minutes. Not the hours of running rally engines have to cope with.

would you drive it? heres another with the skin off

I recall some specialist performance car dealer selling a street legal "935" a few years ago. Sure, it might've just been a 930 modified to look like one, but it had the correct bodykit and 800 hp to go with it. Would've been interesting to say the least.

Is not a lambo actually but a Vaydor G35

no fuck that. do not want. pic related. the car you were talking about

false, lancia engineers tested the engine and it was capable of producing around 1100 horsepower at 5 bar boost pressure,
but for rally these numbers were not used because
>rallying with 1100 horsepower
>having a durable drivetrain for these numbers
>having a durable anything for these numbers
>desperately wanting to your drivers to die

for rally, they put out around 480-500 horsepower which was still crazy fast for the time

Ken Block's Ford Fiesta RX43
>650 HP
>0-60 in 1.8s

is it better than these? seriously i dont know

Noble M600, one of a few cars that scared Clarkson.

Wasnt only one of those sold? Remember driving one in GT2 and constantly spinning out after even applying a little throttle. Must handle similarly in real life. 7.7L 800hp V12 In a car that weighs 2500 sounds mad.

seriously these engines are huge.

I love Nobles.

>The Prodrive P2 made him vomit.

I don't understand this car. On paper it doesn't sound as terrifying as everyone makes it out to be.

DUDE AERO PLANE ENGINES LMAO

It was set up like a race car, all grip that ran out suddenly once you went over the limit. Modern supercars are far more forgiving, designed to be easy to drift and often have electronics that help the driver achieve that. Even when switched off completely traction and stability control still work, just to a lesser degree, especially in Clarksons beloved Mercedes.

The french are madmen

more like gaydor lmao

The real widowmaker.

Also most rally cars since these guys are lunatics.

It's been a couple of years since I've seen the Prodrive episode, should rewatch it.

Hoooly fuck you can see the car actively trying to kill the driver in every corner

>Gee Virage, your mom let's you have TWO superchargers!?

>1,500 Nm of road destroying torque at 4,200 rpm.
>1500nm
u serious m8??

Not that guy, but he's right. The merc V12 is a torque monster.

Yeah, and the company owner also made sure the prospective buyer actually knew how to drive.

Speaking of British madman cars, can't forget the Jaguar XJ220 test bed. If I recall correctly, it's making around 680 hp these days.

I'm just waiting for it to spin out, but the driver holds on like a master

I don't think I could manage a lap, even in the passenger seat though

Sexy, but terrifying.

holy shit i mean why?

i dont wanna sound like a braggart or anything but i would say my evo is a madman car its scary fast as fuck

If you had the cash, would you not? It's a fucking hyper-luxury burnout machine.

Obligatory. Some French madmen stuffed a V8 into a Twingo.

It's only 3.5 liters (Rover V8/Buick 215) but still, a mid-mounted V8 in a car that weighs under 1000kg and has a wheelbase of less than 2.5 meters, that sounds like a massive crash just waiting to happen.

reminds me of this
>gt40 under transit bodyshell

>no Snek yet

I was about to post the viper too

...

THICC

I wouldn't mind putting the engine of a 18 wheeler or even a small ship in a car
or build a car around the engine of a 18 wheeler or a small ship

I want a car that makes all those hydraulic noises big buses and trucks make.

Imagine creeping behind someone then "TSSSSSSS" guy looks behind, beholds Fiat Cinquecento.

Pic related, Alfa romeo v10 mid engined monster sleeper.

compare it

>Le displeased richard hammond faec

KEK

...

ACKSHUALLY that's a tank engine, the aero engine was superchargered

That would explain why it has half the BHP of a merlin.

The merlin also ran on 120 octane leaded petrol, the meteor runs on 95 octane unleaded

There's a similar one.

Brabus S65 Rocket 900

Similar performance data.

Your knees are the crumple zone. Only a true Madman would drive one of these beauties

>mad mpgs
>mad reliabilty
>mad passenger capacity
>mad cargo space
Can't actually beat this. Everything else in this thread is fail.

That looks horrible, it looks like a shed kit car

Is Will.I.Am a tasteless madman?

this is his Tesla

What car was this originally? Looks like a hotwheel

His delorean looks like shit too

Looks like just watched fast and furious 1 and then never watched anything about pop culture ever again

>Implying niggers know what taste is

>what is motown
>what is blues
>what is neosoul

for our dial up friends

Looks like someone played too much Saint Rows 3

>Road & Track magazine tested the 935/76 that year and listed the car has having a 0-60 time of 3.3 seconds. It covered the 1/4 mile with an astonding time of 8.9 seconds!

What do you guys think of my car?

no. just a tasteless nigger

Jesus Christ

>dat 4 wheel acceleration

wewy

Unless it decides it wants to be a plane again and just fucking launches into some trees or people.

Absolute mad man cars tend to do that.

>Group B

>How to get your kids to school and the groceries home within 0.8 seconds.

>805hp
>2,140 lb
>huge rear weight bias
is it for mad men?

one trip or no trip

2000 hp of first gen viper because FUCK YOU

Jesus, how fuckmassive is the cowl on that thing's hood?

>that turbo
It must be off a 18 wheeler

theres 2 of them

I will fucking destroy you and your amerishit

>This lap

I've watched the whole video countless times, and i can't believe the absolute madman driving the car.

This guy is a real man.

This one and the guy driving the FORD GT40 are gods among men.

holy fuck

>2 18 wheelers then.
