Barabus Sports Car Ltd. (not to be confused with Brabus, the Mercedes-Benz tuner) has been working on a 1005-bhp supercar for the past ten years. Now that's dedication. It's being unveiled at the British Motor Show in London this week, but we were getting impatient waiting for pics. A quick email to Barabus resulted in these pictures of the hyper exotic sports car that's powered by a 6.0L V8 with twin turbochargers and dual intercoolers. We were told by the company its website should be ready by tomorrow, at which time there should be a lot more information on this potential Veyron killer.

It does look an awful lot like the S7. Is it just me or is that the most generic looking supercar ever?

It looks 10 years old already. Even the Mclaren F1 looks more modern and that is 14 years old

Did anyone read the specs on this car? 0 to 60 in 1.67 seconds, top speed is 270?!? If that holds true, thats insane!

Yeah, exactly. Why haven't they proven to have the fastest car then? They only need 252mph and 0 to 100 to 0 in 9.9 sec and quarter mile times in 9.5. That should be easily doable with the claims they make.
