Now here is a great hobby car.
Ideal to fill a Saturday afternoon with enough adrenalin for the rest of the week ahead.

0-60 in 1.9 seconds. Yes that is under two seconds.
To get an idea of this type of power and performance check this website. ZERO-60
A fast Porsche is coming in at the 3.6 to 4.00 second mark.

Shot just south of Paris, France in Linas at l'Autodrome de Linas --Montlhéry, this 1.58 mile oval track, built in 1924, features banks as steep as 51 degrees, which is more than double the standard incline of most NASCAR ovals. Chosen by Ken for this specific reason, the ramp-like banking proved to be a unique and exciting challenge. The driving physics for the stunts performed were totally unknown until Ken attempted the maneuvers during filming.
The workshop door rolls open and we take a glimpse at some beautiful minds😊
