Devel Sixteen 2020

[GT5Power]

5000 HP? BS.

 

[Pootis]

No seatbelts, shoddy wielding, looks ugly.

5,000 HP for a car is completely absurd, the disc brakes are too small for a supercar, and it would be impossible to go up to 348 mph as the car would violently shake and would probably fall apart. It would be very likely that you would die from driving this.

looking at all of this I agree with the guy with the Dreamcast controller and the Creeper...
but knowing PD they can make bull:censored: real, remember the car powered by a

. Because they totally exist. Anyway it got bought by Bruce Wayne for an unidentified purpose so everyone can go home now.

This car is as silly as the Dagger GT. It is sooo the kind of car that I would have designed . . . when I was five years old maybe.

Heh, that one was:

• Designed by General Motors, which are generally known to have at least the faintest clue about what they're doing;
• Feasible, if not practical with current technology - and currently being researched as an alternative to chemical propulsion for space vehicles.

On the other hand, this... I've drawn cars with far less power and plastic-y jet-nozzle-thingies and more sound design choices when I was 7.

and they forgot the V16 Cizeta when they started trumpeting about "first V16 car".
It was a demonstration of impossibility... considering I would have just bolted onto it a HSV or Corvette Z06 engine... or both and make a W16 with even more power.

Did they actually make that claim? They forgot about a lot of cars, then, not just the Cizeta.

 

[Thomas__633]

they made that claim... and most people, even people who disagreed with the car being real, supported it.

 

[CORRUPTEDDISC]

Not such a hoax as it turns out.

LOL - proof in the pudding. At least for the engine, but can the car actually handle it? Also wouldn't it shred tyres in mere seconds?

It's far from beating all comers of course, but building an engine which actually lives up to the claims (unlike the Dagger GT) is a huge step towards making the craziness a reality. I don't paticularly like the look of the Devel, but I'm curious as to what it can achieve.

When I first heard of this car and it's performance specs I was like "Whoa!" but after some thought I was like "Hmmm. these people who call BS on this car might have a point. I say that kind of performance needs to be seen to be beleived."

And when I saw that recent video with the engine dyno test I was like "Oh my god.... yeah, they're serious about this aren't they?"

The Devel's performance leaves me thinking the unthinkable: When it comes to production cars, Is there really such a thing as Too Fast?

Nope.

The engine may be real, and there apparently exists a prototype of the car, but does it even run? Would it even be able to handle 5000 horsepower without blowing up or something? Who would be brave enough to try and take it up to 348 mph?

Probably the same guys who drive the 260+ mph Y2K gas turbine motorcycle, or maybe Richard Hammond (too soon?)
