1000 lbft of torque and 800+ bhp and it only does 0-60 in 4 seconds?! really?!
Even the latest TTRS does it in 4 sconds dead with hakdex and a whole lot more weight...

Yeah but if it has 1 gear then those peak figures will not be peaking for very long so it will probably be averaging half of that through the gear.....

The reason why I searched for it in the first place as a woman I worked with seen one last night in Belfast, so I will be on the lookout for the owner :)

the power and torque figures are astounding though...
