THIS ISN'T JUST A RACE CAR. THIS IS TOP FUEL.

Imagine going from standing still to 100 km/h in less than one second.

Before your brain has really had time to process what's happening, you're already travelling faster than most cars on an Australian motorway.

Keep your foot down and, in less than four seconds, a Top Fuel Dragster can be travelling at more than 555 km/h – 345 mph.

That's what approximately 12,000 horsepower can do.

Top Fuel Dragsters are among the fastest-accelerating vehicles on the planet. They're brutally fast, incredibly loud and unlike almost anything else ever built on four wheels.

And this isn't a replica.

This is a real championship-winning Top Fuel Dragster, associated with four-time Australian Top Fuel Champion Darren Morgan.

12,000 HORSEPOWER

For some perspective, an everyday family car might have around 150–250 horsepower.

A powerful V8 performance car might have 400–600 horsepower.

This thing has around 12,000 horsepower.

When it fires up, you don't just hear the engine.

You feel it.

The sound can exceed 120 decibels. The pressure and vibration hit you in the chest, travel through the ground and shake your entire body.

The enormous rear tyres vibrate. The engine pulses. The air around you feels alive.

This isn't something you stand quietly beside and watch.

You become part of it.

0–100 KM/H IN LESS THAN ONE SECOND

Think about how quick a seriously fast road car feels accelerating from 0–100 km/h in four or five seconds.

A Top Fuel Dragster can do it in less than one second.

The driver can experience around 5–6 G under acceleration, meaning their body can effectively feel five or six times heavier as the car launches.

Everything happens incredibly quickly.

The lights change.

The throttle opens.

And the car is gone.

IT DRINKS 60 LITRES IN ABOUT 400 METRES

Then there's the fuel consumption.

A Top Fuel Dragster can consume around 60 litres of fuel over approximately 400 metres.

Put that into the familiar fuel-economy measurement we use in Australia and you're looking at approximately 15,000 litres per 100 km.

Of course, a Top Fuel Dragster could never run continuously for 100 kilometres like a road car. But the comparison gives you an idea of just how extraordinary the fuel consumption is.

Your family car might use 7 or 8 litres per 100 km.

A big four-wheel drive might use 12 or 15.

A Top Fuel Dragster is the equivalent of around 15,000 litres per 100 km.

And the fuel isn't ordinary petrol.

It's nitromethane, feeding an engine designed to produce an almost unbelievable amount of power for just a few seconds at a time.

THEN YOU GET TO HAVE A GO

Seeing a Top Fuel Dragster is one thing.

Experiencing one is another.

That's where our Top Fuel Dragster Simulator comes in.

This is believed to be the world's only Top Fuel Dragster simulator game of its kind, giving people the opportunity to get behind the wheel and experience the challenge of launching and racing a Top Fuel Dragster.

Stage the car.

Watch the lights.

Get your reaction right.

Hit the throttle.

Then see whether you can keep it together all the way to the finish line.

Race your mates. Challenge your workmates. Compete against customers. Set the fastest time of the day or fight your way to the top of the leaderboard.

It's perfect for car shows, community events, corporate events, team-building experiences and business marketing activations.

THE NUMBERS ARE ALMOST RIDICULOUS

12,000 horsepower

0–100 km/h in less than 1 second

Over 555 km/h / 345 mph

0–400 metres in less than 4 seconds

5–6 G of acceleration

Over 120 decibels

Around 60 litres of fuel in 400 metres

Equivalent to approximately 15,000 L/100 km

But numbers only tell part of the story.

You need to stand beside one.

You need to hear it.

You need to feel the ground shake and the vibration hit your body.

Then you need to climb into the simulator and see how well you can handle Top Fuel.

DON'T JUST WATCH IT. EXPERIENCE THE POWER OF TOP FUEL.
