The ongoing battle for the title of ‘world’s fastest production car‘ has seen the SSC Ultimate Aero TT dethrone the Bugatti Veyron for outright top speed, but now a new contender has entered the ring. The Maxximus G-Force, brain-child of David B. McMahan, hasn’t made a top-speed run yet, but its early results show it may just take the title.
The Maxximus G-Force is the result of a chance conversation between a chauffeur and his passenger.The chauffeur, Marlon Kirby, was a hot-rodder and car builder with a shop behind his house in Indianapolis. The passenger, philanthropist David McMahan. McMahan was intrigued by Kirby’s dream of creating the ultimate road car. One thing led to another, and McMahan agreed to bankroll the creation of the G-Force
The Maxximus G-Force is based on the Ultima GTR 720 that has received an improved transmission and chassis.Power comes from a 7-liter twin turbocharged Chevrolet V8 engine that outputs 1600 hp.G-Force accelerates from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in just 2.1 seconds. 0-100 mph (161 km/h) comes in 4.5 seconds.
Braking power is equally impressive – 0 to 161km/h and back to 0 takes 8.86 seconds. Now that beats the Bugatti Veyron’s 0 to 60mph time of 2.46 seconds, and the 0-100 -0mph time of 9.9 seconds.
To truly win the title of fastest production car, the Maxximus will have to reach a top speed of257 mph. The current title is held by the SSC Ultimate Aero TT. The SSC Aero is powered by a 6.35-liter twin-turbo V8, taking the benefit of 1287 hp, 1112 ft-lb of torque, and a top speed of 256 mph. Despite the recorded top speed, the Aero is geared to 272 mph.

This is a ‘one of a kind’ car as mentioned both by Kirby and McMahan. My view is that this car cannot be said as the ‘fastest production car’ because it was built in a garage. It has a production run of, uh, One!
The car was already been sold for $3.0 million reportedly to a midde east buyer. Quite a tidy profit considering it was modded up from Ultima GTR. Oh boy, with $3.0 million I think I can get a Bugatti, a Porsche GT II, a Lamborghini and change.
enjin da gmpak,

x aerodynamic lngsng…
Just an old saleen powered by GM v8 i think 705 engine.. Trust me american car is truly a junk. What about handling? Surely hard to control.. 3 tonne under ur hand.
who the hell cares about where is it built , a garage or a rip off factory ,,, its still a car of CARS who ever dont think so , is a complete jealous of it , the bugatti will nevet tough this cars DURABILITY FUEL ECONOMY AND PERFORMANCE at a dirt cheaper price this car is only bought by people with knowlege but the bugatti is bought by rich people that konws nothing about cars . and only cakes to show off at any price. and the best of all this ultima GTR uses a CHEVY engine ,, and for those who dont know ,, this engine is the best V8 engine ever built , it is found in google in urban dictionary as the engine that has won races the mostin history to the exception of F1 engines that are a diferent category + says that that this engines are the most durable and reliabkle ever built . LS LT engines on demand
mot to mention the shity reliability and durability of the high reving eurotrash dont know why of the stupid high prices engines that the secret of its bad reliability is the stress to make horse power they go for
