Probably won't be as fast as a real LMP1 car, it's another scam for rich people to buy into a "race car" that isn't as fast as the real thing much like the Ferrari XX cars.

LMP1 for an unrestricted 2 seater is possible, after all LMP's have restrictions to Venturis and the like.
The fallacious claims are any of the F1 comparisons, as LMP1's are a fair bit slower than the current F1 cars.

Not to mention that LMP1's are designed for endurance, and can only use full power for a limited time per lap which even in quali is only on initial acceleration.
Whilst they at peak can make around 1200hp, without hybrid backing they are more around 600.
Valkyrie will be 1100 nearly all the time, you will just have to refuel it more often.
Even without KERS, it is still around 1000.
Also, it uses the same tyres as LMP1's and uses F1 style carbon-carbon brakes instead of carbon-ceramic.

The main point is that the road car was designed to be as extreme as possible, and the track car uses the same tub and just pushes the limits as far as they will go without restrictions.
Any comparisons to purpose built single seat homologated race cars is dumb.

Only retards believe such claims until they are tested.
You wouldn't mislead car buyers of the actual performance comparisons of the car they are getting before they buy it, when said cars cost many millions?

Looking at this and the main factor of the road version, it has so many features in common with the McLaren F1 that it can be called it's natural successor.
The fact that pic related is holding back on the actual figures should be an insult to McLaren, as the Senna GTR is inferior in all these figures.
This will be the fastest 2 seat production car ever around tracks, and the road car will be the fastest production road car around tracks ever.

The suspension is F1 spec, but also active, unlike F1.
Road version should be not too far off.

>the road valkyrie will still be faster than the senna gtr or any other track day special

On the same tyres I think this is correct.
The track version is certainly more extreme, but the gap cannot be that big for the track car to suddenly be LMP1-H tier.

Red Bull X2012 when?

It could be made, but for what purpose?

Just remember you don't need to spend that much money to actually go fast

>you could title a gokart in the US as a kit car/home built and drive it to work

Let's dissect this.
THe cost of a person to compete in a season of FR 2.0 is about 20k euros, the cost to run a team for a year in F4, which is roughly comparable, is $750k.
The Holy Trinity are really road cars first, as any decent track car can defeat them for much cheaper, they use stuff which was really new back then, and therefore not that efficient for the wigight they added.
Around Silverstone, they said that the road Valkyrie would be around 20 seconds faster than the Holy Trinity. Newey called those cars clumsy for a reason.
Now of course with stuff like time attack cars you can build track cars that punch really high above their weight for far less.
But the main issue here is comparing two seat coupes to single seat open-wheelers.
The weight that can be cut and the area that can be used for aero is tremendous.
The idea is how fast you can go with two seats, really.

*weight

>implying you need to compete in FR to buy an FR car
My next door neighbor has a formula atlantic car that's been titled. Crazy bastard. He drives it to church on sundays. Also
>Ariel atom
>2 seats

Yep
You weren't going to DD a soupercar anyways

There are rare cases of madmen as you've mentioned doing this stuff like cheap.
Ariel Atom is very fast around a track for it's price, but it won't compete with proper aero.
Road legality is more important than it being a DD anyway.

Many aspects of this and the road Valkyrie are still unknown and subject to change.
The road car still has up to a year until production, the track car is more like 2 years.
Until then, all we can do is compare it to the competition and try to guess times and stuff.
This is about how far a car can be taken for road legality, and how far a homologated road car can be taken on a circuit without restrictions.
Money is the last issue, it is all about 100% optimization.

where did you hear it has active suspension?
