Looks cool, but only in games. The Thrust SSC is far to slippery for any kind of conventional racing. Let us simply say that turning ISN'T something you want to do on land at supersonic speeds.
I see a few commenters debating the "Reality" of the the Devel 16. Sure, yeah, right, it's a "real" car. I've seen it's engine, a bespoke block of billet machined into an extra long push rod Small Block Chevy, that when sitting attended on a dyno produces incredible numbers. I've seen some shady looking prototypes that barely qualify as static display show cars. I won't say that DEVEL hasn't produced a running prototype, but I will say I've not seen one. Somebody send a link if there is video. Do they have a real transmission for the 16 cylinder monstrosity? I know they say the car has a mega-normous HP rating, but have they developed a a clutch/torque converter/transmission that can survive daily use or even supervised track day use? It's one thing to source and manufacture the components that will theoretically assemble into a 300 mph+ dream car, but it's an even greater task to develop them into a viable product that can be driven by the typical billionaire. Look at the Bugatti Veyron: who would have though that it's greatest technical achievement would be its 12 radiator cooling system? Think about it. The Veyron's engine is about half the car, can be pulled out as a 'block' for maintenance, and its cooling system keeps keeps it from melting down *everywhere* it goes, in parking lots, city traffic, the autobahn, or the Nardi test track. Yes, I'm sure Devel is testing out in the heat heat of the Arabia Desert, but do they really have the engineering depth to produce a saleable vehicle that is reliable enough to spend more time in its customer's hands than in the dealer's service bay?
This is absurd. The Devel16 is not yet fitted with the 16 cyinder Steve Morris engine. The cooling system, gearbox, clutch and drive train are not yet developed. The prototype shown driving slowly in the desert was powered by a 350 BHP LS1 which should be good for a 0-60 time of about 7 seconds and a top speed of about 120 MPH.
@@stephenbachman132 Most sites list the standard LS1 as being rated from 305 to 350 BHP. I quoted the highest factoryt rating. The Devel16 lads have been claiming to have a 5000 BHP V16 engine for the past 5 years. The Steve Morris engine is real but probably only a psrint engine. I dount that Devel have cooling systems, gearbox and running gear rated for that sort of power. There are a number of misleading videos about this car.
@@stephenbachman132 Manufacturers don't supply the LS1 with more than 350 HP because the GM warranty is voided if the power is tweaked over the specification. I have seen examples of the LS1 with 500 BHP (Supercharged, LS1 edit, cam and manifolds) Devel are running on a shoestring budget. They cant afford to carry engine and powertrain warranties.. As for the car, it looks good but needs ten times the air inlets to keep a 5000 BHP engine cool. That is not happening. But it could keep a factory standard LS1 cool.
Add it to a civic it won't be fast it will just flip, slip, and fly around and not get anywhere because the whole body isnt any bigger than 2 jet engines
@@chickengunproyt8868 You really think you're going to be safe on the roads in that thing? You will quite literally kxll people on the road and destroy property and even if you can avoid that, good luck trying to control the shockwaves of the boom.
@@mohammeded-dahbi7603 afterburner. Sound barrier happens at 700 mph and isn’t that consistent. Once u break the sound barrier u don’t break it again until u go under the speed of sound and back up to the same speed
Also this is unrealistic because. 1 the ssc cant accelerate that fast without breaking. It’s also very slick and can’t turn like that. Also 4000 kph? The ssc goes up to about 800 mph tops I’d say which is no where near 4,000kph.
@@RichBatangKalye it has lol, it in the few tests that were done reached 300mph, and if there were e enough distance on the runway it could reach estimates of 347mph or 500kmh
