This thing is ridiculous. Do want. Too bad only people with hella money could afford this. The e-shaft alone is going to run how much again?

Don't know if you guys have been keeping up with this thing, but here's a newer clip of them just messing around with the exhaust flames. Pretty insane.

just because it drives on a street doesn't make it a street car.

Well done to the engine builder, PPRE and the rx4 shell owner

Hey Ben,

Have they completed any dyno testing yet? We know that it runs and idles. How about some video with actual LOAD on the engine? Props to everyone so far! Incredible work!

Video doesn't show on my view above? Anyone else seeing it?

Incredible numbers BTW!! So, since Defined as made ~430 on their 3 rotor, can one assume that the power potential for this engine is in the neighborhood of 850+, or is that just looking at things WAY too simplisticly?

Im going to put my 0.02 in here. I Like P.P.R.E, and the work they have produced. That decision is soley based on the images, videos, media that is presented of them. I have never met the guys at that facility, nor have i ever been to the country they are established at. Regarding the 6 rotor, they seem to have done a fantastic job producing it and its apperance is outstanding. I followed the whole build process and was extatic to see the outcome. When the car hit the rollers and produced a whopping 800whp i was very disappointed and honestly quit following anything that had to do with it. 800hp to some may be staggering, but i personally think that should be a "walk in the park" for that engine. I wasn't impressed about the TQ it produced as well. If the car dosn't produce a mear 1000+whp, won't be impressed. It is very unique, and im sure improvments can be made. The future may hold bigger and better thinks for the vehicle. Time will tell. The Fab work on the chassis and drivetrain are phenominal as well. The car Looks amazing and sounds the same.

You realise its only the first tune and its on pump gas and naturally aspirated?

Then you should understand a 4 liter n/a engine on pump gas, 800+rwhp is very good.
