The resulting power flows to the wheels through a six-speed, semi-automatic sequential gearbox with paddle shift and is able to bring this cool car racing up to the speed of 400.73 kph, more outstanding is that it’s able to hit naught to 300 kph in just 16.2 seconds. Amazingly, F1 is able to sprint to the 100 kph from a standstill in just 2.5 seconds. cool!

Whether that will be enough to topple the Veyron from its throne as the world's fastest production car, we'll have to wait until the test driver gets his hands on one, to find out. Suffice it to say the F1 is significantly smaller than a Veyron at 4,500 mm long, 2,040 mm wide and only 1,150 mm high. Through the written facts, this car seems to be parallel to the Bugatti Veyron, Koenigsegg Agera R and Hennessey Venom GT supercars. *** [FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | WEBER SPORTCARS | WORLDCARFANS | GTSPIRIT]
