A truly amazing car for sure especially the aerodynamics by the best designer in the world (in my opinion). The rpm is impressive but they have overhead cams and gear cam drive. How about this effort to do an LS that will turn 11,000 with push rods?

I thought the proof of concept they used by build a 3 cyl with Cat Converter 1st was pretty smart. That and having the engine as the stressed member in the chassis is also brilliant. 1000hp out of a naturally aspirated 6.5L (396ci) while still passing emissions and having road manners is quite an achievement.



On the LS that's a great project and will hopefully have some durability improvements for everyone as a result of the R&D.

I would like to hear one run once they get that far.
