Remember TranStar Dagger GT? Of course you do! The world’s most ambitious car maker has updated Dagger’s specs on its website, now promising a 2700 hp version capable of achieving 315 mph or 500 km/h.
We are not saying they are liars, but we haven’t seen the 2500 hp version they’d promised yet. Neither have we seen the first 2000 hp version. So we have a sneaking suspicion it is another wishlist!
We really do hope TranStar get around making the Dagger with the same spec they claim they can – a proper hyper car not a dragster – because then they would show all the big car makers, McLaren, Bugatti, Ferrari,… how pathetic they are struggling to make a 1000-hp car. We just wish we could believe them.
Check out the new Dagger’s specs below. The numbers are so staggering, it’s kinda funny!
