I have tried to read as much as possible on this and the specs seem to point to a supercar destroyer. The thing has 1000Nm of torque, 500hp and yet weighs something like 1800kgs, that puts it's PTW at the same as a M6 yet it's Torque to weight is double it. Think how quick the M6 is and then take off about 20% from it's figures, plus this thing will easily reach beyond 200mph if they want it too.
Want it doesn't even come close. Last edited by footie; 01-16-2008 at 06:11 PM.. |

This is the engine that is in the lemans prototype cars I believe. If you have ever been to one of those races, even the fully race built ones are DEAD SILENT.
