Worlds Fastest Street Legal Car


The Maxximus G-Force. According to World Record Academy this is the world’s fastest street-legal car. Its extreme power comes from a 7-liter twin turbocharged Chevrolet V8 engine that outputs 1600 hp. The G-Force accelerates from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in just 2.1 seconds. 0-100 mph (161 km/h) comes in 4.5 seconds. 0-100-0 takes just 8.8 seconds.Kirby is the founder of Maxximus Technologies ans McMahan is the guy who financed the program. Kirby first started with the Ultima GTR 720. He modified Ultima’s drivetrain, gearbox and most of the chassis so it would handle the acceleration. To get 1600 hp from small-block V8 they are using Turbonetics turbochargers. Power flows through a custom-made paddle-shifted three speed transmission.This mid-engined supercar weighs 2,700 lbs (1224 kg) and can suck the fuel tank dry in 9 minutes!If you have $3 million, then you can get one and leave all other supercars in its dust. According to McMahan already has couple of inquiries from buyers in the Middle East. To attract more customers from that region Kirby and McMahan will be taking the car to the Big Boy’s Toys Super Show in Abu Dhabi on April 30th.

  1. The thing with the fastest street legal car is that the record can change hands quite easily. In my opinion the records that you should truly watch are the land speed record and fastest production car record for those are more serious and harder to break. Plus I think this car looks ugly, at least from the picture provided it does.
