Details have been released on a new Swiss supercar – and we can confirm that it is as fast as it is ugly.
The odd-looking, but strangely appealing in its weirdness, Weber Sportscars faster One promises, as the name suggests, to be quicker than anything else on the road.
260mph is the claimed top speed of this two-seater, which is powered by a twin-turbo 7-litre V8 producing 900bhp and 774lb ft of torque.
Power to weight ratio is said to be 810bhp per ton, which is almost 300 more than the Bugatti Veyron.
The Weber supercar matches the Bug’s 0-60mph time of 2.5 seconds and it will accelerate to 124mph from standstill in 6.6 seconds and do 0-186mph in 16.2 seconds.
The car has an aluminium shell and four-wheel drive, with a minimum of 64% of the power going to the rear.
The car also features an F1-style steering wheel which has controls for engine mapping and traction control along with paddles enabling the six-speed sequential gearbox to shift in just 50 milliseconds.
Behind the 20” alloys there are 12-piston fixed callipers gripping 380mm ceramic brakes.
Inside there are such luxuries as power steering, climate control, electric windows, sat-nav and a rear view camera for reversing.
The top speed has yet to be confirmed but the company is soon hoping to officially attempt the title of world’s fastest car held by the SSC Ultimate Aero TT, which averaged 256mph in speed testing last year.
After currency conversions, export duty and VAT, the 900bhp car costs a staggering £900,000.
