Back in 2010, America introduced the world to the idea of the first 300 mph supercar: the TranStar Dagger GT. Inspired by America’s passion for drag racing, the Dagger was set to produce an astounding 2,500 bhp from a 9.4-liter bi-turbo V8 engine. For those concerned with California's strict emissions standards, a more moderate 7.0-liter supercharged engine offering 836 bhp was proposed.
In short, no. The Dagger GT became a vaporware supercar—offering nothing beyond digital renderings and a website in search of investors. Practically speaking, no one was willing to challenge giants like Bugatti, and as a result, the Dagger slipped into obscurity. It's a shame because a street-legal quarter-mile run in 6.6 seconds at 204 mph would have been extraordinary.
Absolutely nowhere. The website has disappeared, and mentions of the Dagger are mostly found in lists of the most absurdly fake supercars ever imagined. It remains a photoshopped dream that never hit the streets.
Summary: The TranStar Dagger GT was an ambitious concept promising America's first 300 mph supercar with an incredible 2,500 bhp. However, it remained merely a virtual concept, never reaching production or attracting investment. Today, it is largely remembered as an iconic example of vaporware in the automotive world.
 | It's sad but not surprising. Many ambitious car projects never make it past the drawing board due to funding and regulatory hurdles. |
 | This sounds like just another marketing gimmick. How many of these 'supercars' have we seen that never materialized? |
