That's pretty wild!! The aerodynamics are very interesting as well. The car's shape is that of just pure speed.

And from a 2 rotor! The article says the turbo is capable of supporting 3200hp, I wonder how much they're squeezing from this 13B.
Pac Performance recently hit a higher top speed of 237mph but still in the 6s, and that was with a 20B.

Wow, 5.94 seconds 1/4 mile!? Not single one of my cars can even go 0-60 in that time unless you drop them out of an airplane -lol.

Interesting about the 20B. I was also curious about that- the article had no details on power output.

And thanks OP for sharing this.
