    Well you said that it is unreliable, so that's one of the reasons to why it exist , but isn't possible.



    There's also this :


    Safety regulations , having to add an ABS , ESC , Airbags , and all other stuff wouldn't make the car better.


    And , the image , i mean yeah , who knows them ? How Can they sell a car if nobody knows about them ?

    Yeah it exist, but the V16 does not exist (probally), or the V16 dosen't produce that much power

    I mean, we have seen the quad turbo v16 (I think) on a dyno and made damn near 4700 (i havent seen the video in quite a while)

    I see, I still would prefer seeing a separate unconnected source do the dyno. Maybe an owner or trusted car news source whenever It's released. The video being uploaded by the company itself makes me trust it slightly less, but I do hope I'm proven wrong, there aren't enough V16 supercars (only one currently).

    I mean, this is a video from Steve Moris, the guy who build the engine (he is well known for engineering Drag Race engines). But stil he work for the commpany.



    Turbos are not even connected to the intake lol. o_O

    Technicaly, Dragster engines Can put out to 10000hp , with the the inconvenient being the auto-destruction you Can't turn off.

    The 5000Hp V16 may last longer technicaly since it's half more powerful

    Surprised to see they've got a driving unit, I always checked this as a scam, but hey. It still looks horrible though

    Supercar Blonde's videos are BS. I have no trust in what she says and never had.

    As Donut has said in their video, it could exist, but the fact that it hasn't came out and it has been 15 years is suspicious.
