Is Turbocharging the future? Just listen to this!!!

I know this will be insanely expensive and limited production. But it absolutely makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand! What a masterpiece! Just watch till the end : electrification will be added,which means instant torque assistance. I remember I've touched on this subject before : why can't manufacturers build a small NA,great sounding,high revving engine,that meets emissions and add electric motors assist for more torque?

good that i do not have to make a choice

Cosworth is such a cool company with loads of heritage.
happy to have owned and squeezed already two or three of Cosworth tuned engines. <3

Very cool engine and car, but at 3.2 million dollars, it’s a bit pricy for most of us.

The math and engineering involved in something like this is crazy. Way over my head.

Thats a big “if you could”.

My net worth would have to be $200 million or more just to think about it considering I still need the rest of the car.

Cool peice but if the pitch got any higher it would sound like a dentists drill.

This car is just another collectors peice for billionaires car collections that will never see public roads. In the end “yawn” for me unless the tech can find its way to within mortals reaches.

Hell no. 1. Net worth would have to be higher 2. I would probably spend the money upgrading to bigger/faster jet. 3. I would spend that same money and own a 918, CGT and a Senna.
