This Is What A 1,200 Horsepower Twin-Turbo, Anti-Lag V6 Sounds Like
This Is What A 1,200 Horsepower Twin-Turbo, Anti-Lag V6 Sounds Like-October 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:24

The level of engineering in pro drift cars these days is utterly fascinating. Here is, for instance, Chris Forsberg’s twin-turbo, anti-lag Nissan VQ V6 putting down four-figure horsepower numbers while sounding like the whole world is ending.

Well, a better descriptor might be that it sounds like the engine is falling down a flight of stairs while it’s running. It’s supposed to sound like that, though. Each turbo has its own anti-lag system, combusting its own air and fuel to keep the turbo boosting even when the driver lifts off the throttle.

The driver, in this case, is not Forsberg himself but PNW resident and Formula Drift Mustang pilot Chelsea DeNofa, who successfully did not crash or break the car. As far as we know.

I’d like to say I know how big this engine is, but Forsberg couldn’t get his first two copies of this engine to work, each in 4.2 liter guise. I think I remember Forsberg saying that him and his Nameless Performance team might experiment with a 4.0 liter configuration, but I’m really not sure.

Let’s also watch this thing barf some flames. Nice.

This Airborne Pro Mazda Crash Is Almost Surreal
No matter what the wreck-filled commercials and the popular, continually recycled historic footage might lead you to believe, most racing aren’t reminiscent of cars flying off of a poorly built ramp. This one was. Harrison Scott races the on the development ladder, but he didn’t get to race much in...

Autonomous Race Car Does Goodwood Hillclimb Just Fine, Proving That Mustangs Will Be Mustangs
The car from , an upcoming autonomous, electric series, successfully ran the hillclimb without ramming nearby objects. The same cannot be said for the autonomous 1965 that attempted Goodwood, perhaps scientifically proving that . “Is science ever final?” you rush to the comments section to post, remembering your college days...

Getting Everything To F1 Races Requires Some Truly Insane Logistics
This year, the Bahrain Grand Prix took place on Sunday, April 8. Three days later, every single team and all of their equipment was in Shanghai in preparation for the Chinese Grand Prix. The logistics required to make that incredible 4,000+ mile transfer happen are awe-inspiring, but Formula One pulls...

Formula E Men Fined $6,000 for Wearing Wrong Underwear
Formula E Men Fined $6,000 for Wearing Wrong Underwear
Most jobs don’t designate the kind of underwear people have to wear, and those who work from home technically don’t have to wear any. (That’s probably true in offices, too, actually. Who’s going to know?) But two drivers are $6,000 poorer for wearing the wrong underwear to work . Right...
