The TKR is designed to compete with the world’s fastest, quickest, best handling, most luxurious grand touring cars in the world.” Barabus will be producing 300-400 TKR’s over a three-year production period, and fetching one will cost you £360,000 ($454,176.)

Sadly, I expect this to go the way of the Vector Supercar. If this thing didn’t look like a cheap rip-off of the Saleen S7, I would be salivating. If you look at my other post about it, you can also see comparison shots between the TKR and the Lotus Elise and Pagani Zonda. You’ll be surprised at how similar they look.

Now let’s get real here. First, these numbers are most likely mathematical calculations used, and will not actually be the real numbers. Second, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Pagani (I could go on,) could all make cars that have 1000 hp claims if they just want to say “my car has 1000 hp.” The real question (and the reason this isn’t already done,) is ‘How does it drive in the real world?’ It would be cool for Top Gear to test this car, it would be entertaining. But for real world driving where the roads aren’t all track, this thing probably sucks. Not to mention it’s most likely extremely unreliable and annoying to drive at low speeds. Don’t get me wrong here, I like the idea of huge numbers like that, but we have to be realistic. Look at how similar the TKR and the Saleen S7 are:

The front of the car looks like a Lotus Elise:

The car is set to be unveiled in London this week. When considering that the Bugatti Veyron cost over $1 million and barely pushes 1000hp, the price seems a bit unreasonable, but then again the Hennessey Viper Venom has been doing it for years. Not to mention, the Venom costs less than $200,000.

The design is at least questionable. The front (pictured above,) looks like a Lotus Elise, and the rear a Pagani Zonda:
