180 - 200 mph 3.71secs HULK GT-R

That is very very very mentally fast.

ETA

Why not Bruntingthorpe?

Or even better - Ehra-Lessien (although I can't imagine VAG wanting their Veyron performance times eclipsed by a Nissan built in Telford...)

TBH, it doesn't look like the Hulk has been aerodynamically optimised purely for top speed - I'm pretty sure with a streamliner body, it would go a lot faster than 218, although probably not in a mile

Surely this needs an entry to TOTB?

So does this thing run tesco 95 or does it need the expensive 99 stuff?

From the ingear times, it's probably a diesel...

[Skater12]

The way this thing tore up to 190 i'd be very supprised if in the dry it dosnt top 230!

My prediction is 237MPH sometime soon.

[Pommygranite]

How much?

We also took one of their team in the HULK to give him a feel of the acceleration of the beast. John was shaking even on Monday LOL

I don't think I was, "shaking on Monday” but it was certainly the fastest vehicle I've ever been out in! The acceleration was mind blowing to say the least. I’ve never experienced anything like it. There’s nothing better than being smashed in to a seat by 1200 bhp!

We'll have to keep a close eye on how AMS do.

Top lurking.

[Carnnoisseur]

Fantastic bit of footage. It would be great if a drag race could have been arranged with a Veyron side by side. Facts and figures are great, but the old adage of "a picture/video paints a thousand words", speaks volumes in these circumstances.

Tall order, I know.......

[FlavaDave]

What's the point of anything other than FOOD, WATER and SHELTER? Discuss:

I'll be back at 5:07 to see how you all got on.

Impressive stuff. Why did Bugatti have so many issues with the Veyron and cooling when a tuner in Telford can get bigger bhp figures?

Engine position. Front v Mid. It's notoriously difficult to cool a large engine with little airflow.

[Aids0G]

how does the gearbox cope with all that extra power? would have thought it would blow itslef to pieces??

[SirSamuelOfBuca]

Awesome engineering to an already amazing vehicle.

What sort of costs are involved in this?

Also have you got some spec list.

Look forward to seeing a dry run and further videos! Keep them coming!

Fastest in the world??? There's a 1600+hp GTR out somewhere... 400hp more should make a small difference.

AMS something, I'll look it up later....

[alexpa]

Take it to the ring. Sub 7?

Already been mentioned and as of yet it hasn't done a top speed tun at that power level, only 1/4 mile runs.

Just got back from lunch and didn't read the whole thread... :-)

Hi all,

I will try and get a Spec of the car up later this week for you all to see.

We have had the pleasure of dealing with some of the finest manufacturers of tuning products and this project has been very hard work over the last 12 months. A lot of the parts on the "Hulk" are bespoke and taken time to perfect.

We know AMS run alot more power so expect them to do well this weekend, but records are set to be broken, as long as we have the determination we will try and keep it in the UK for as long as we can !

Thank you all once again for your comments

Regards

[Stu R]

Curious to see the details on the box, is it a PPG one?

Am I the only one unimpressed ? OK, so it has a mountain of power, but what's the point ?

To go very fast and advertise the company who owns and built it. Why does it need anything more reason to exist than that? It's fun.
