Hi techheads,
I hope this is no repost, saw something that I wanted to share with technology fans,
as I consider this to be "for adults only" (pure automotive p*rn) :

(Greek company that might be into F1 manufacturing circles builds Mitsubishi Monster.)

Power jumps from 400bhp at 5300rpm, to 1350bhp at 6300rpm - that could be comical

Impressive, didn't a 1.5litre BMW F1 engine put out 1500hp in qualifying trim?

That is some incredible engineering, but I just wonder, even with all that titanium, how long will it last? Still, these guys are obviously very knowledgeable and skiled.

Not long I'd have thought. VERY impressive though.

I think they say in the thread the builder is aiming for 120 hours.

I did see a bit where they showed connecting rods that were "lighter than titanium", but the downsides were "Cost and 120 hour life". Makes WRC cars lifespan and servicing intervals look like long-life mega milers!

Beryllium?

Oh... I just had an accident.
