Any further bidders or did the FF win? I was betting someone would have driven a crazy tuned Supra or GTR with 900hp?

SSO I imagine.

Ugh.. F12 and M8 are both 600+, but I think the Tesla S P100d was 500kW, which is 670+bhp, but I know which one I’d rather have..

Eta: aaand I’m talking bollox- F12 is waay more powerful… phew!

911 R is still the most powerful I've driven, in terms of BHP the engine is producing.

Yamaha MT-09 felt faster though...think that's still the most powerful bike I've ridden.

ISTR that @Jimmy Choo got a p-ride in David Yu's Godzilla R35 when it was about 720bhp. Can't remember if he got a chance to drive it though.

I've driven a Supra with a claimed 450hp, but never proven, that was booosty enough at the time

if you would care to do a poll on torque, can the top category be 1000+ Nm please ? Because Q7

Why can't we have a PTWR one of these instead? Is it that hard to calculate?

I've checked with @Matty , and I have good news. From 15:18 today onwards, everyone else will be able to create polls too.

Unfortunately creating polls will cost $7/month, although it does mean you'll also get your name in blue to let everyone know you're desperate for approval.

However much power the red Ferrari 430 at Silverstone has. It had Stradale (edit, were Scuderia stripes) stripes but whether it was just stripes or an actual go faster version I don't know. Never really been a Ferrari fan so my knowledge of them is scant.

Further edit - I am fairly sure it was a Scuderia and they have 503 bhp. I suspect I may have used at least 250 of them having neve driven a track, or a track day before and I only got a warm up, a lap, then back into the pits so not much of a chance to ease in.

Track - Aston Martin Vantage (I think 520 or so hp)
Road - Jaguar F-type V6 supercharged - 375hp

I got a P ride but didn't drive. Mostly because my butt had clenched so hard on the seats that it took me a long time to get out as it was ridiculously fast round corners, let alone a straight line.

I think my current Stealth diesel is the most powerful with 272 bhp unless Jobbo's Jimny had significantly more power than I expect.

Yes you can count "experience" days

Voted (CLK55, 390bhp) before reading that bit (Murci LP-640, err, 640bhp?)

The E46. 230hp of pure power, etc.

Track (Well, Brooklands so no sniggering) - 577hp Merc CLS63S
Road - 296hp - Audi A8 4.2

Scratch that. I drove @Matty's Alfa 147 GTA Autodelta Bevitore di Pozzanghere. That was about 310bhp IIRC.

I think mine would be a Cerbera which had various tweaks done to it before it left the factory and I think was one used for some of the magazine articles back in the day. It was utterly crazy, even in the bone dry and nobody seemed to know what it was putting out.

I've not driven anything with silly horsepower - when I was doing some work for the Porsche & Ferrari dealership, bhp hadn't done silly, so the cars I got to drive then were pretty tame by today's standards.

I guess the current dog wagon will be my entry then, 503bhp.
