260.1 MPH Top Speed
Last month Keating Supercars – hailing from Manchester, England – tested their latest supercar offering in Utah, at the Bonneville Salt Lake Flats where they topped out at 260.1 mph, and if they can repeat an equal or better run next time they will take the coveted title of World’s Fastest Production Car in the Guinness Book of Records.
Tony Keating, founder of Keating Supercars, said: “The Keating TKR realises our ambition to take on the world’s finest supercars and win. This car rivals them all for looks, handling, performance and exclusivity. And best of all, it’s British.”
Sorry Mr. Keating?? But, that 1800hp LS7 isn’t exactly British is it now?
British Supercar
The TKR was unveiled to British car fans at last weeks’ MPH09 motor show at Earls Court in London, where Tony Keating – founder of Keating Supercars – confirmed they will follow up the first 260mph pass with a confirmation pass soon.
If they are successful they will take the title from the Ultimate Aero, beating its top speed by 3mph, and not that we feel you can truly compare this car to the Veyron but the TKR would have a top speed 7mph greater than that of the Bugatti.
Is it just me, or does that appear to be a go-kart track?
