My favorite racecar of all time.

There were a lot of iterations, but the engine in the 917/30 was 5.4L, twin turbocharged. At qualifying power, it made 2.7 bar, good for about 1600bhp. Toned down to a modest 1100bhp for the race. In an 1800lb car.

Sometimes known as the car that killed Can-Am for how brutally fast it was.

Apparently that car had the record speed of 228.1km/h in 1911 which was faster than an airplane so it was pretty good ^^

edit: twice as fast >.<



the chain is a nice touch ^^
