The 350 MPH Dagger GT Is The Fastest Car

Right now, the fastest car in the world is the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. With 1,200 horsepower and a top speed of 267 miles per hour, it can blow the doors off of anything on the road.But American company TranStar Racing is looking to unseat the Veyron in a big way with the Dagger GT.

There are multiple configurations of the car made for track, street, and drag use. And each posts some unbelievable numbers:

Up to 3,000 horsepower, 0-60 in 1 second, and 250 MPH in 1/4 mile in the drag version.A record laptime of less than 6:44 at the Nurburgring in the race model.A top speed of 315 MPH in the land speed model. There are even people saying it could even hit 350 MPH.The different configurations are each optimized for their intended use. For example, the race model has 1,100 horsepower and only weighs 2,000 pounds. The power to weight ratio is unreal.

We spoke with Craig Miller, who is heading up the project, to get some inside details.

There are a range of configurations planned for the car. Two street models will be offered, one called the sport and another, posher version called the luxury.

For the track, there are three different iterations. The drag race model will offer the most unreal acceleration of any car on the road. The land speed version is meant to destroy the Veyron Super Sport and the track version is aiming to set records around the world.

The race versions can also be made street legal through the purchase of a number of street components. That will technically make the Dagger GT the fastest street legal production car in the world, if it can meet the lofty goals that have been set out.

TranStar has a number of industry veterans and experts working on the project, most of whom are confident in the abilities of the Nelson Race Engines, Mendeola Transaxle, and experienced design team.

The company does not have a date for when the car will be on sale. Craig said that while they just do not have the funding in place quite yet to make this dream a reality, they are hopeful that it will come through.

If and when it goes on sale, pricing is expected be in the $750,000 range, making it a relative bargain when compared to the Veyron.

But the work they have done so far looks fantastic.
