"True" supercar: Porsche 959 or Carrera GT. I have never seen a 959 in person, but it seemed to be extremely ahead of its time.

Porsche Carrera GT hands down. :yes: I've seen both the Carrera GT and the 959. Coming by a 959 is very rare, since it was limited production. The one I saw was at a local dealership, in the back getting ready to be repaired; got some pictures too. :drool: It belonged to the sultan of dubai and apparently he paid a quarter million just to get it shipped here. :wacko:

anyway- probably the best high quality performance car at the moment would ahve to be the Mclaren Mercedes SLR-  the Mclaren F1 still holds the faster car at 232mph- the SLR comes in at 223mph.  but the raw look of the SLR in stunning.

I'm afraid that the worlds fastest car is now held by the Koenigsegg CCR. McLaren did excellently to hold onto it for so long though

Jeavis is 100% correct,. the Atom is the fastest production car made right now. 600kg and 330hp. Its an open wheel race car, with lights and tags. Acceleration, 0-60 in the LOW 2's. Quarters in the 9's, well above 200mph and 4 seconds a lap faster then a superbike,. The ONLY other car faster, around the track was the F60 , and it was only by a few hundredths of a second. All for a car thats <60k dollars ( atom ), will all options.

The link I am posting has a video in it, watch it.

1.4 seconds faster a lap then the Benz/mclaren SLR :pinch:

umm...the atom 2 is only 220 BRAKE Horsepower (not even at the wheels) and 196 Nm torque (man, I hate units like Nm). It's just a bloody honda vtec engine in one of these...

They are pretty cool though, but again not street legal here, which is one reason they're not popular. They list no options at all for the car, so I don't see hw oyu can say "with all options" since their philosophy is "what you see is what you get-if it doesn't need it, it hasn't got it"

Thats a base engine,

The engine I quoted is the supercharged model, that makes 330hp.

There is a link to a movie on the Atom page I posted. Watch it, its the 330 hp model with the 14inch Alcon brakes.

And do your research , diod you even read about it? They ARE legal here, in fact. On the for-sale page theres on in Washington state for sale, WITH pics on it on the road.

A quote from " Inside line "

( Available in America

The Ariel — the name harks back to an old British motorcycle manufacturer — is priced from ?19,922 ($37,350), but our road-legal test car would trouble the checkbook to the tune of ?26,244 ($49,202). It would be easy to spend more than ?35,000 ($65,000) on a 300-hp car. Most cars are sold in Britain but Saunders has already shipped rolling chassis to customers in California, Texas and Washington and is "close to signing a deal to export the car to the U.S. market." )

I would link more info from Ariel, but I am having probs connecting to their site.

There are many options available, from engines, to exhaust to wheels/tires to big brakes.

i meant here as in canada...canadians buy a lot of british cars, so it would open a huge market if they were legal here

you're right about the superchanged version though, I just couldn't find any info about it before. It weighs so little you wouldn't really NEED the supercharger though

While I'd question those figures regardless of where they came from... I thought we were talking about production cars?

    • Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices by Pradeep Viswanathan Qualcomm has been delivering dedicated SoCs for mixed reality and spatial computing devices for several years. The journey started with the Snapdragon XR1, followed by the Snapdragon XR2 in 2019, the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 in September 2023, and finally the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 in 2024. Today, Qualcomm announced a major upgrade with the new Snapdragon Reality Elite Platform, which targets premium mixed reality and spatial computing devices. OEMs can use this SoC to power both all-in-one video-see-through headsets and lightweight, tethered optical-see-through glasses. Qualcomm highlighted that the Snapdragon Reality Elite will power the next wave of Android XR devices coming later this year. These wearables will offer better visuals, improved power efficiency, and deeper on-device AI integration compared to the previous generation. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can deliver up to 48 TOPS of AI performance, allowing large language models and large vision models to run directly on the device for the first time. In addition to enabling new spatial AI experiences, these new AI capabilities will improve head and hand tracking, as well as see-through features. On the performance side, the Snapdragon Reality Elite offers up to 60% higher GPU performance, up to 30% higher CPU performance, and up to 160% higher NPU performance compared to the previous generation. The platform supports visuals of up to 4.4K per eye at 90 frames per second for sharper images and smoother motion. Qualcomm is also claiming significant efficiency improvements. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can offer up to 20% longer battery life under the same workload. More importantly, the chipset can run up to 12 degrees Celsius cooler under load, making headsets more comfortable for users to wear for longer periods. The platform also includes improvements to video see-through, featuring lower latency and better image quality. Qualcomm states that its EVA hardware block helps accelerate demanding computer vision workloads, improving how digital content blends with the real world.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand

      By Nas · Posted

      Umm... GitHub continues to use AWS. That's the story, that's the headline. There's no "new" news here. GitHub continues to require additional capacity beyond the originally-planned Azure allocations. There's nothing special about this; nothing noteworthy. They're still using AWS' infra until the cutover is complete.

      "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
