Are the Danes as mad as the Dutch?

That is a joke right? The only people more loony than the Danes are Kiwis!

I thought they might be, you need a bit of madness to build a proper supercar.

[team will]

At least when the engine goes pop the Porsche dash will still work!

Danish super car?!

1100 bhp is impressive from windmills :-)

I assume the engine oil is Lurpak

Don't forget that the Danes did a pretty good job of kicking the st out of the Britons at one time A good percentage of us will have Danish blood in our bodies

I really like the interior.

It's directly from a 911 isn't it!?

The dials are very Porsche, but no other element looks like the inside of a 911. I must say, this looks rather lovely and a far more special place to be. I think it looks and sounds great. Lets hope it's priced well.

The dash is from a Corvette, including the steering column and centre console but with the instruments replaced with Porsche items and the plastics covered with carbon or alcantara
The doors/windows are also from a vette (presumably with different skins), as is the 'a' pillar and the roof.
Presumably the engine is a modified LS7 from a Z06, but they've put it in the boot rather than under the bonnet!

That's what I find funny about the BNP, they're all Danish!

[chuntington101]

Im really intrested in getting more details on the engine. Im guessing its a GM LS7 base, with forged internals. andone want to guess what blower is beoing used?? TVS2300?? also intrested in how the route the air, do they bypass the SC or just run compound boost?? also like to know what turbo and cooling they are using......

Its deff a very intresting car. not the normal way to do it!

Chris.

Isn't 217mph a little slow for 1100bhp?

Are you being sarcastic?
Im guessing you must be, because I would imagine you already realise that power has nothing to do with top speed, it's (mostly, but with many many other considerations) to do with gearing & aerodynamics.

If you have enough power it won't matter about the gearing and aerodynamics. How many cars of any size or shape have reached 200mph with less than lets say 450BHP?

[r1ch]

Im not entirely sold on the looks tbh. Wonder how it will go round cornors?

[Spiritual_Beggar]

IMO

That looks like a toned down, upmarket Gumpert Apollo, especially from the front.

I can see your point about aerodynamics, The yank truck called shockwave for example uses 36000hp to push the brick shape to 376mph, but the gearing is important, if your cars gearbox is only geared for 100mph in top cog thats all it will do, even with 100000bhp.

Bizzel i think your as touch misguided there. It is to do with power as aero drag increases exponetially...

Of course if its geared to 100mph it will only do 100mph..

Its lower top speed is probably to do with massive downforce, or.... it's limited for safty purposes. Its hard to test cars much in excess of F1 speeds, and the energies on the ouside of the wheel rims and tyres is massive at these speeds. i am sure if you stuck a long top gear in and took it to the salt flats it would give up 250mph.

Anyhow its not got enough power for me, so i'm not buying one!

[DrGP]

I loved the guys passion. He was so clearly chuffed to be driving a car made in Denmark that wasn't a donkey - how happy was he!

Lets not examine the sales prospects and give him his moment.

[KimZ]

Oooh .. aaah.. Oops, sorry! I've just had an accident...

That must be THE most *orgasmic* engine I've heard this year...
And she looks well brutish and tough. Reminds me of Grace Jones some years ago...

The f40 Did it with 470 bhp and a big wing on the back..the 959 nearly got there with 444bhp and it weighed alomst 1500kg..again it had a wing which would of reduced top speed.

Mmmm - Denmark - 180% tax!

[diffingo]

Looks like the love child of an A8 and Reventon! Like it, but can the Danes make a classic?

[Lil' Joe]

Do you think all upercrs will have 1000+bhp in the future? That's now the Veyron, The Ultimate Aero SSC, a load of Supras and Skylines and now this. Lambo etc are on 600 odd so not that far to go...

[Nickellarse]

They need to get Georg Jensen to do the styling...

[Monkey boy 1]

From their web site

Oh really ? who are these world renound Danish designers ?

It's limited to 234Mph (375Km/h) they don't know the Stability.
