Again, best shit ever.

That thing looked like a lot to handle. I'm assuming it was running in a 2.0L class? Seems like 1000hp could be otherwise had in a bigger, easier-to-manage powertrain combo...

 

It's an Unlimited class car for the Pikes Peak hillclimb. I believe the engine choice was due to "Added Lightness" as the entire car weighs in at 1950lbs.

For shits and giggles:

 

Thrust SSC (Super Sonic Car) = ~9689hp/ton @ 763mph

 

What really turns this into a jaw dropper, is that the Thrust SSC weighs 10.5 Tons!

 

EDIT: Aerodynamic drag is a bitch. For the Thrust SSC to go 3 times the speed of the Veyron, it needs 20 times the power to weight ratio.
