Tramontana is a car manufacturer from Spain. They will release the XTR model, which is a successor of the R model. The new XTR will be a two-seater formula-like car with driver positioned in front of the passenger. Both will be enclosed in a glass bubble.
The car is powered by the well-known 5.5 liter bi-turbocharged V12 sourced by Mercedes-Benz. It will be tuned to 900HP (662 kW) and 980Nm (722 lb-ft) of torque. The power is send to the road through an “ultra-rapid competition gearbox” powering the rear wheels. 0-100 km/h in 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 344 km/h (214 mph). The overall weight is 1360kg. However, we expected more from such overpowered vehicle. Hopefully, it will turn hard, because on straight line there are a lot faster vehicles, especially for such price.
The Tramontana XTR starts from $514 000 (€420 000). It is expected to hit the market in the end of this year.
Which is the fastest car in the world? Every kid knows that – Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, but there is a new pretendent for the title.SSC Ultimate Aero II is powered by 6.8 liter twin-turbo V8 with 1 350bhp (1 007kW). Because of the incredibly low weight of the car, which is created mainly from carbon fiber – 1 179 kg (2 600 lb), it will be able to reach the theoretical 443 km/h (275 mph). The acceleration from 0 to 60 mph is not so interesting – 2.8 seconds. The price will be less than a million US dollars – $970 000 ((€696 000), which in fact is a great deal compared to Bugatti Veyron Super Sport.
