The idea of Dark Horse is to balance the comprehensive performance and achieve the best track performance. Excessive power does not help to improve track performance. On the contrary, an overweight engine will limit the performance of the whole vehicle. Therefore, all the high-performance sports cars of Dark Horse use V8, and only Enzo and FXX use V 12. Dark horse is good at aerodynamics and lightweight body to improve actual performance, rather than paper data such as 100 km acceleration and extreme speed.
Taurus certainly has some violent tendencies compared with the dark horse, but it is not as violent as Bugatti. He should also take into account the needs of track performance and daily use, rather than blindly pursuing data. Besides, Taurus and Bugatti are a family, and the public won't do such stupid things.
However, I want to talk about the thrust SSC you mentioned. This thing is too exaggerated, beyond the scope of my discussion. It belongs to the technical verification vehicle and is specially used for running LSR. It can't run too fast, because the purpose of LSR is to pursue the limit speed.
