Toyota TRD Aurion Pro-Facfory Xtreme
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.

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!

OMG,, thats kickass speed
June 9, 2008 @ 5:17 pm
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.
