What kind of car is that? It looks like a Diablo but it's really hard to tell..

Yeah Anders... looks like a diablo alright; look at the short, nearly hortz. slats on the side and short vertical rear glass... Also the intake plenum opinings are in the same location as a diablo's... I'd put my money on that. It's most likely one of the uber-car tuners like Gemballa or Hamann.

It's a Diablo. Very good to those who guessed.

The car was seen at this year's Tokyo Auto Salon. 1187.9 WHP is the quoted figure, and seems pretty realistic.

Twin turbos and MoTec. I'm 99% sure it was done by a Japanese-market tuner firm - but don't quote me, I wasn't there. (But I have seen pics of this exact car or, at least, it's twin.)


Addendum: Friend just told me that it's in this month's "Turbo & High Tech Performance" a mainly saki publication.

FSAEracer03,
Do a search for some of John's posts. If I'm correct, there is already two twin turbo 928's on Rennlist. Soon to be a third.

I think the actual tally is one twin turbo on the list, one single turbo...

No official word about any twin turbo s4s however...
