RSC Predator GT: German Startup Allegedly Aspires to Build the World's Greatest Hyper

[Bartek S.]

There's no shortage of small startups promising to build exotic supercars these days. Just a couple of months ago we showed you Poland's first venture into a segment dominated by names like Lamborghini and Porsche (before you viciously attack our comment area, we're not saying it will actually compete with Lambo…), the Arrinera. Now, Carscoop reader Juha pointed us to a German startup, which to be frank, we have never heard before. The company is called Rotary Supercars Germany and on its website, it says it plans to create "a symbiosis of the ultimate hypercar and active environmental care".
The firm's upcoming hypercar is called the RSC Predator GT. Development said to have started in 2009 with the first prototype to be revealed in 2012, possibly at the Top Marques show in Monaco next April, and the production model, by the end of the year – or so the company claims on its website.
If you we're already skeptical about a project no one has ever seen or heard about before, then the performance specifications aren't going to ease any of your concerns…
On the website there are two models of the Predator GT: a prototype with a 1,200HP "4-rotor Rotary engine" and a "revised specification" version featuring an "8-rotary Rotary Engine" with a displacement of 5.2-liters delivering –hold on to something- 2,800-horsepower and…2,580 lb-ft (3,498Nm) off peak torque with a redline of 9,000rpm and 12,000rpm (both figures are listed).
Jules Verne…errr…we mean the website states that the 2,800HP Predator GT will be able to complete the 0-100km/h (62mph) sprint in a blink of an eye at…0.9 seconds. Still not impressed? Then how about a "0-600km/h (373mph)" sprint time of 7.0 seconds?
And you thought pigs couldn't fly…
H/T to Juha!

Aspires to Build the World's Greatest Hypercar

Oh no, not this again. Can't the aspiring people just do it and open their mouths after they've earned the right to do so?

Ile belive it when i see it

It is one thing to share your dreams, another to build a prototype and a tall mountain to build a legal, production car that can achieve those figures with the reliability of the Bugatti Veyron.

I smell vapourware.

C´mon!!, What is it, a F22 or something?.

 

[7saen]

when will these my-cock-is-bigger-than-yours-contests end?

The real challenge is still to build an affordable car with top quality in design and technology.
Kia is doing the best job getting closer to that goal at the moment.

Looks like a lambo knock-off from that pic. I'll give these guys some credit when I actually see something.

I see a lot of Lambo/Zonda in that very dark pic. But IMO nothing will ever match the Bugatti Veyron.
The task of putting a very, very powerful engine in an incredibly aerodynamic, imposing, exclusive, and heavyweight car is much more impressive than, say, sticking a turbo V8 in a Lotus.

1200hp from a rotary engine? Does it comes with a fire extinguisher?
