The Keating TKR [1] is a British sports car. It uses parts from the Saleen S7 and the Pagani Zonda. The company that produces it was founded by Tony Keating and is based in Bolton, Greater Manchester, England. The TKR features a twin turbo-charged 7.0L V8 petrol engine derived from the General Motors LS (LS7) series developing 2,002 hp (1,493 kW). According to Keating, it can accelerate from 0-60 in 2 seconds.[2]
The TKR has been recorded travelling at 260.1 mph[3][4] at the El Mirage Lake, California. In 2010 the TKR was set to be the car of choice to break the blind land speed record. Unfortunately, the car crashed on a test run and was unable to break this record.
