Mr Vfq400

Hello,

In this months CAR magaine (in the UK)...there is a feature on the MR VFQ400....and it makes for good reading. Apparently it eats the Zonda alive in performance....figures are.

0-60 in 3.6 seconds
0-100 in 9
top speed ~175mph

they say it is faster than any supercar from points a-b....only 30 being made though .....she will be mine! oh yes, she will be mine!!!

Those are very impressive numbers, but did you ever see top gears lap time round up with the zonda, lambo, evo, sti, and z8? The zonda is REALLY REALLY fast around a circuit.

Does the fq 400 have different suspension from the 300?

I remember reading something about a supposedly 400hp version coming; this must be it! They said there would be limited drive-ability and limited longetivity of the engine as a whole since it would be so high strung.

Guess I should leave mine at 350hp.....lol.

200HP/liter is starting to push it, unless they've beefed up the engine internals a bit.

they have beefed up the internals...I'll dig out some detailed specs, but the turbo is bigger also...suspension I believe is the same as the standard MR. The zonda is ver very fast around the test track, but this thing is supposed to be in a different league...maybe even faster than the carrera GT...we'll have to see

Price is £45,000 ~ $70,000ish, and the v does stand for very
