eh, just another  run-o-the-mill supercar  ( there are four or five stock ,street legal production cars now with a 250 + MPH  top speed. )  sure, 290 mph capability is a nice add-on for bragging rights , but wondering on which road will you'll be able to drive 280 in the Koenigsegg Regera  and then think..hey, i have enough pavement left for that extra 10mph.. go for it !     this car does have the most futuristic appearance of all of them so no doubt there'll be a market for it

Look here, you spend $ 500,000 to $ 2,000,000 for your car and then one day at a stoplight some stoner dude on his messenger bicycle ( like the one in the video clip below ) makes you ask yourself this simple question : WTF ?!!

It is hard enough to keep a stainless refrigerator clean and that is in a kitchen. Can't imagine trying to wash this.

well out least they will be able to out run a radar trap if they can get off the road with no one seeing them.

My only disappointment would be that at 290, I would surely want to reach 300...

Looks like the new Toronado

Lol, I was thinking the same thing - very annoying to be so close and yet so far away from that magical number. Of course if you look at the stats of various new Ferraris or Porsches or Lamborghinis there are quite a few with a listed top speed of 192 or 194 , 197 even.. that's just frustrating !

Btw, this car does look like it has stealth technology so maybe it is able to avoid any radar / laser speed readings .


Hey, the Toronado is a classic ! Always liked that car back in the day. Besides, there's a soft spot in my heart for the Toronado - I was a front seat passenger when we were hit in a head on collision - we were going 40-50 mph, as was probably the other car, so a forceful collision dynamic for sure... that was before shoulder seatbelts were the norm ( not to mention airbags, lol ) and although I don't remember if I even had my waist seatbelt on at the time, I do recall getting out of the car in a complete daze but without the slightest hint of a scratch on me.


Wondering if you'd be so lucky if you run off the road , roll or hit anything in these new cars at 200 + mph ; the safety engineering is supposed to be phenomenal, nothing short of F1 or Indy cars in term of utmost driver and passengers protection, but sure do to want to be the guy testing that ..

I never though I would see road worthy cars going so fast aerodynamic compressibility effects came into play. These cars are going Mach .3!

Closer to .4, but who's counting?
