The engine is still the same V8 that came from the Indy Racing League in the US. It is a 3.5 liter engine capable of 550ps at an astounding 10,700rpm. Considering the car only weighs 825kg, this will be a beast to drive.

Probably nothing at all, but like you say it's like an RC car, just a FG/CF shell over the top of a space framed chassis.

what is that pulsing when a highly tuned V8 starts, is it built into engine or is that the driver pumping the pedal?
