Just watching a clip from Top Gear and Clarkson made the statement about the Porsche Carrera that McLaren proved in 1994 that man had the technology to make road cars able to do 240mph, and Porsche and the others have held back from doing that in recent times.
So WI carmakers kept up this trend of ever faster supercars, what would we be looking at now? Would cars have stagnated at 240-250mph much like fighter jets stagnated at mach 2-2.5, and just filled out the envelope within this limit? Or would we be looking at cars doing 270mph, with accelration so high that they can reach it as readily as an F40 can do 200pmh?
