That red blur that you see above is Toyota’s TRD Aurion Pro-Facfory Xtreme, which made its debut at the Willowbank Raceway in Queensland, Australia last week.
Toyota claims the TRD Aurion Pro-Facfory Xtreme produces over 1740 horsepower from its turbocharged 6 cylinder engine and can get up to 100km/h from a standstill in less than 1 second. The car can achieve a top speed of over 350km/h.
Now that’s truly insane… wonder if those numbers are real or just something theoretical. Imagine the traction needed to get up to 100km/h in less than 1 second, plus would the turbo boost kick in that fast? I’d imagine a big turbine with lots of lag to get it up to those horsepower figures.

is that a car? looks awesome..
what a joke. a 1800kg car pushed to 100km/h in 1 sec?? Truly physics defying. Beats the tesla roadster.
the only thing Aurion about it is the headlight
This is a prostock class dragster. Like that abtm meantioned, it only has the headlight in common. These things have a bespoke tubeframe chassis.
These things will do the 1/4 mile in about 6 seconds or less…so your 1 sec century time is valid.
As for the turbo “kicking in”, we used to use nitrous injection to spool up the turbos…:p
The headlight looks like Camry. Haha..
ya..traction, abit doubt so~
but talking about wheel base.. how a?
Full SLICK tire!
Lightweight frame!
Nitrous Oxide to eliminate lag before turbo kicks in!
jolly_idiot: of course ler..toyota aurion is another name for camry in australia market.
is it for sale?
OMG,, thats kickass speed
Is that a car, or jet fighter?
0-100kmph in 1 secs? And how many G is that?
Physics101:
100kmph = 27.78 meter per secs
gravity = 10 meter per secs square
2.7 times of gravity.
holy mama shit…that’s..that’s not a car. That’s a rocket launcher. Damn insanely fast !
i think the driver is insane too…
well , dis is a dragster .
its normal 4 a dragster wif dat kind of power…
That is a drag race car right? Looks a lot like one
drag race and bull riding got some common things = dangerous and boring
meh, drag racing boring.
circuit racing anytime.
and it’s meant for track only.
jet fly
