  World's Fastest Rolls To Perform at Santa Pod 21 Oct 2011 (News)

Fast enough to run an impressive 7.94 second quarter mile.. at 175mph! The car has been prepared by WG Racing and uses a cutting-edge selection of the latest drag tricks and lightening methods to turn it into a veritable supercar slayer, taking well over two seconds off the time taken by the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport to cover the same distance.
