That car is amazing. The sound that V6 makes is crazy. Would love to try rally driving, with something a little slower obviously, lol.

 

[sickmint79]

[IDAFC21]

Jesus christ thats one of the coolest things Ive ever seen. And dat renault formula engine

 

[Bru]

Fantastic. Wish him luck. I wonder if there's a class for that. Some type of unlimited? I could listen to that engine all day.

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

I want that v6. God why can't current f1 engines sound like this.

 

[TCG Member 5219]

Literally the best engine sounds I have ever heard.

It's like a modern-day equivalent of the old Group B cars that were outlawed in the 80s. There's no class in the US that would allow anything like that competitively....There might be a few regional rallies that have exhibition classes that it could run. I'm guessing New Zealand is similar.

[Blood on Blood]

Awesome

 

[RedBeard]

That thing sounds AMAZING! What an awesome build.

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

Wonder what it rev's to.

450hp out of a 3.5L v6 naturally aspirated.

Found it:

450hp @ 8500rpm. As Luke Cage would say, "Sweet Christmas."

I think its awesome that he heard about renault switching to v8s and went and hunted down one of the 40 v6s they had lying around.
