Hi guys,

couldn't resist to post this link to the ultimate turbo beast for auction at the moment.

http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...e=STRK:MEWA:IT

If I look at this monster (800 HP/800NM) my impression was:
wow - new engine every 5000Km, but according to the owner this combo has been working for the last 12 years and more than 300.000.- !! Euro has been invested in the car.

So have a look and enjoy.

Regards
Stefan

That's a big gas tank. And I mean BIG. Where's the spare go?

Sameer

Thats not a monster, it's Godzilla!! and it's beautiful. Wonder who did the conversion.

@A930Rocket,

I think this car is more flying than driving on the street :-).
This might explain why the driver is not very focussed on a spare tire.

@Sameer,

this is the company that is responsible for the complete engine conversion (Schmirler is well known here in Germany for his racing expertise)

I saw this car in Puerto Banus about 4 years ago and had a good look round it. It has absolutely everything on it, with all carbon body parts - someone really blew their brains out building it. Check out the performance 0-300kph in 16.9 seconds thats twice as fast as a Carrea GT

Sameer

But a top speed of 365km/hr?? Really??

TB993tt

Probably in about 21 seconds

Sameer

Pity their website is not in English.

What do you want to know ?

Jean

Wao!

Curious as to what is that intercooler, TB any idea? Does not seem like a Secan.

Disappointed in the 0-60, even though it is not the objective of this car, it should be in the 3 sec. flat.

A real animal!
Stefan , thaks for sharing.

These were the engines RS were doing in the late '80s, early '90s with a Sytel (french electronics company) motronics package, the I/Cs were made in-house and the engines were rated at 750hp. I have no idea how they actually drove in the lower revs, the poor 0-60 makes me think they were pretty crap like the Ruf CTR of the time (believe me below 3000 rpm that car was horrid compared to modern post '95 turbos). I have along article out of a Flat Six magazine (French) on the RS motors of this period, if anyone is interested and can translate accurately I may scan and post it

That would be great if you could post that. I would love to read it. That car is trully a work of art.

TB

I will translate it, or the most interesting parts at least if it is too long. You have to start charging me for these articles, ever thought of putting them on a CD ?.

Interesting to see that RS actually uses anything other than the Secan for such a high output car, knowing that they preach no other I/C will take you beyond 600 hp. I wonder what core they are using.

Can't wait to read that article.
Thanks TB!

Sameer

Jean,
it would be nice if you could translate it and post it here.

Guys what would happen if you crashed it head on with a tank full of gas? I can see why its so big!
Cool car, ive seen it for sale before at about 80,000 euros.
