Using a unique combination of high-tech engineering and uncompromising innovative styling geared toward maximum aerodynamic efficiency, Weber Sportcars from Tobel in the Swiss canton Thurgau develops and builds the world’s fastest street-legal sports car.

The two-seater weight in at just 1,100 kilograms and is powered by a V8 engine with dual superchargers that produces 900 hp / 662.4 kW. Thanks to its exceptional power-to-weight ratio of 0.82 hp / 0.61 kW per kilogram, intelligent all-wheel drive and sophisticated aerodynamic properties the mid-engine racer sprints to 300 km/h in just 16.2 seconds and reaches a top speed of more than 420 km/h.
