I Dont know..Whats The type of the engine of that car? is very interesting..the 2j is amazing.

The main engine is a Chevrolet 427 cubic inch (I believe). I don't know about the little engine running the fans.

@rob11751 I believe that's the race when near the end of the race the snowmobile engine broke, effectively killing the cars ability to stick to the ground. The design was so effective, that every race team officially complained to the SCCA and they finally ruled that it was a "movable aerodynamic device" and so it was banned. The car also had a 3 speed semi automatic transmission, it was shifted like a manual, but having no clutch, it required careful rev matching to shift.

i've played it in GT psp . it has outrageous acceleration, but it has only 3-speed transmission and got top speed of 338km/h becoz of limit gears . hmm , sounded like a rocket though :)

@gigem85 Main 750hp and the fans are runned by snowmobile engine (about 50hp)

[dsurzyshyn22]

it was a standard transmission with a torque converter instead of a clutch.

@marcomolinari94 It's fast there... You can't imagine how fast it is when a human driver uses it, i'm not particularily good and i've ever been beaten. It's faster than the Toyota 7 and has 70 pp less.

@gigem85 snow mobile engines I think

[CJDaTman]

@gigem85 45hp snow mobile engine haha

[jssimons3]

@gigem85 the fan is a snow mobile motor

[bradbge]

What I want to know is...was the snowmobile engine's throttle adjusted by the driver to his liking, or was it just spun up to maximum rpm the whole length of the race?

[Kampfy90]

@gigem85 the little engine was meant for a snowmobile

[eoblas]

@gigem85 motor that ran the fans was a 2 stroke snowmobile motor,
