How much power and torque does it produce?

How much lag would you suffer with a turbo that large!?

I see that was made by Holset. Their factory was just behind my university.

Are they dragster tyres on the rear?
Needless to say, straight line performance must be awesome, but I would imagine that cornering with those tyres would be, um, interesting.

Interesting intercooler too - for such a huge tubby I can't see it keeping temps sensible for long. Lag would be interesting too.

Looks great though.

Looking at the rears and lack of aero addenda on the rear deck, I suspect it's built primarily as a 1/4 mile sg...

I take it this is headed for the magic 1000 bhp?

"You owe me a 10 second car" etc and so forth!

Ever seen that vid of the Top-Secret supra on the strip, where you can see every panel flex as it comes off the line eek

Looks lovely though. Only the back tyres give it away.
