1.8s?!@?!?!?!?!?!?! That's MENTAL! That is quicker than saying, "from now(0), to now(100km/h)" if you were presenting it in a review or something.

And it does 0-240km/h in the same speed that my car does 0-100km/h lol.

That's some impressive specs.

For some reason, I was reminded of a custom Escort rally car from the 80s. 4wd turbo (nothing special these days) capable of similar 0-100km/h times - but a large part of that was the gearing, which meant that top speed was around 200km/h.

Google found me this page, which may be the same vehicle (I remembered twin turbo, no mention of it here).

Technology has come a long way.

1000hp/tonne... Well played Peugeot, well played.

That's stupidly fast..
Very similar specs to the Tacoma as previously mentioned.
Tacoma rocked up to pikes peak in 1998 with 920hp, 875kgs, 0-100km/h in 1.6sec, 0-200km/h in 4.9sec.
But unlike the Tacoma, this this will probably be more drivable, and if he has a clean ascent, who knows what time Loeb will do.
CAN'T WAIT!!!!
