The last time that MTM tested the bimoto at Nardo it was in 2002, at that time they had some minor engine tuned problems, but had nevertheless to carry out a top speed of 374Km/h. I hope they will have more chance this time. (Gutes Glück für Motoren Technik Mayer ! :good: ) With 1003hp created by two 1.8T engines we expect it will do similar or better top speed as the mighty Bugatti Veyron.

Thanks Skaala for the pix and info, it's a topic to follow...

I have read they reckon they can squash the 400km/h barrier with this one, although they need a aeropackage which offers the stability.
384 kmh with a TT Just amazing !!!


Cheers
