Really? I had no idea. That's barely a six-pack of cylinder displacement. For how many bhp?


The internal combustion portion puts out around 650-700 hp, but when you press the little electric boost button, you get an additional 160 hp. They go incredibly fast, they just don't sound like it.

Never would have imagined that car racing has evolved into very souped up sewing machines. They don't even sound like race cars, that is, not like race cars as I remember them. Thanks for sharing that. Guess I should get out more.
