You have to guess Bob.

No, it's faster, has more horse power and costs more then the SSC.

The SSC Aero was the fastest in the world at 267 mph

The Barabus TKR just unthroned it at 270 mph so if that is the car you are thinking of the show had its data a bit wrong

I think the car I'm talking about can do 274mph but they limit it to 253mph for production model for safety and if I recall it has 1000HP

damn! my next guess was a "Bradley GT"!  LAUGH@ LAUGH@ LAUGH@

I thought the Mc Laren was the fastest production car but after checking here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McLaren_F1

Guess not. It is the fastest carbuerated car.. amazing stuff.

You have to ask yourself... When they were sitting at the design table did they say something like...
I've just designed an amazing car. Now how do I shoe-horn the 1930's chitty traditional grille on to it?
