Ferrari Fxx Evoluzione

The Ferrari FXX Evoluzione features a 6.3 liter V12 engine with 860 bhp of power at 9500 rpm.
More data wasn't published.
" Maranello's engineers studied the wealth of information gained to develop a kit which will cut the FXX's Fiorano lap time to under 1'16'' (previously it was 1'18''). The FXX's 6262 cc V12 engine can now punch out a massive 860 hp at 9500 rpm. Gearshifting takes just 60 ms, a drop of 20 ms on the previous time, and the gear ratios have been adapted to make use of the extra 1000 rpm now delivered by the engine."

Weineck Cobra 780cui Limited Edition

This is the Weineck Cobra 780 cui Limited Edition. This car features a 12.9 litre V8 engine manufactered by Weineck Engineering in Bad Gandersheim, Germany. The engine develops 1100 bhp (820kW) of power at 7000 rpm and a torque of 1760 N*m at 5600 rpm.
This Cobra accelerates in 4.9 secs from 0 to 200 km/h (0 to 124 mph) and from 0 to 300 km/h (0 to 186 mph) in 10 secs! There aren't amy electronic helpers such as ABS, ASR and ESP.

"Mr. Hyde. Words cannot describe what will happen if you want to experience the full potential of this ULTIMATE driving machine. There is just no comparison with anything ever built to be used on the road!!! The engine gains rpm like a pure race car engine. That’s normally already impressive, but bearing in mind that what propels you has nearly 3 litres (the total capacity of e.g. a BMW 330i!) – more capacity than the biggest and strongest of all powerboat engines ever built…
What happens above 5,000rpm (the engine delivers its world record torque of 1,760 Nm at 5,600rpm) is too much for human vocabulary. It’s more like Sol 5 on Starship Enterprise! You feel like being in a time machine with corners approaching so fast that you just won’t believe it. From now on, your brain and body have to work at maximum speed. Otherwise it is better not to enter this world…
Now you know what the Donohue style of driving really is…
The rev. limiter is set to cut in at 8,000 rpm (the engine reaches its maximum power of, 1,100 hp at 7,000 rpm), and the gears have to be changed at 7,000 on the gauge, otherwise you already hit the limiter (the engine revs faster than the classic Smith instrument can follow!). The insane, highly-addictive (words like e.g. sound, noise, music cannot describe what is meant here created by this devil greedily soaking up all air and fuel in its surroundings and afterwards coughing out the waste of it through the side pipes under the doors at insane velocity) mechanical orchestra plays works never heard before…
A car mainly lives from its engine! After experiencing this one, yes, it’s true!!!"

Quarter Mile

This is the car called "Vanishing Point" driven by Sammy Miller who did the World Record for the 1/4 mile: 3.58 secs and a topspeed of 621 km/h (386 mph)! It is rocket dragster powered by H2O2 which is sprayed onto a piece of massive silver used as catalysator creating a very powerful blast.
Acceleration: 0-100 km/h (0-60 mph) in 0.2 sec
0-160 km/h (0-100 mph) in 0.3 sec
