The world’s fastest green supercar – Maxximus LNG 2000

Designer Marlon Kirby and car builder David B. McMahan had already conceived their first magnificent contraption in the form of the G-Force, which was touted to be “the world’s fastest street-legal supercar”. But for us green enthusiasts, unfortunately the speedy monster was a gas guzzling one.


Not many details have been released for the Maxximus LNG 2000 as of yet, but we do know that it is breaking the walls set up by petrol engines by running on compressed natural gas and liquid natural gas. That’s right supercar owners; no more getting ripped off at the pump! We still don’t know what kind of performance it will provide, but it is being pegged as the second generation G-Force which clobbered the 0-60mph sprint in 2.1 seconds. The G-Force was by no means green, though. It was powered by a 1600 hp 7.0-liter engine sourced from Chevrolet which boasted if additional performance times of 0-100 mph in 4.5 seconds and 0-100-0 mph in 8.8 seconds.



Now, for the second time around, the designers have successfully managed to progress to the final stages of contriving the Maxximus LNG 2000. This chassis is similar to its petrol brethren, but the fuel consumed is uniquely natural gas.

They are also currently working on another model model – dubbed the Prodigy – which will come with 2000 HP and a $1,000,000 price tag. Considering the G-Force costs $3,000,000, the Prodigy will actually be a steal! No pricing information for the LNG 2000 has been revealed as of yet.
