Hint: That's no F1 car.

@eagleeyes86: Hint: it is not a car that ever raced in a F1-Race, but nevertheless it was built by AGS according to the FIA-Reglement of 2003 or 2002. It is a "AGS SH03". Just have a look at their website.

@Oasche The chassi is probably according to the 2002-2003 rules, but obviously, the Engine is an v8 with a rev limit of 12.000 rpm.

@Marcus666Sund Confirmed. It is an V8, that's the cheaper way to go there. They have also an V10, but it is of course much more expensive if you like to drive that one. But I don't see the problem with the V8 - several F1 cars had a Cosworth V8. And even if I did not hit the limiter, I'm pretty sure it is limited to save the engine. And why not? The cars get driven by noobs like me, so better limit the engine if you like to keep it for some time and make money with it... ;-)

@Oasche Man! I got so excited driving a 32HP Rotax Kart!! So I imagine that's twenty times the fun!! :P

[Oasche]

@eagleeyes86 And I think, that is nothing to argue about :) I just believed what they told me at AGS. Maybe it is really nothing similar to a F1-Car. But it is fun enough to sit in such a cockpit having 650HP behind your neck, so I don't care that much :) And I know: it is not an amazing video. It was just the hell of an amazing experience to drive that car, no matter how bad I did :D I just can recommend it :)

@captaincodpiece69 Wow! Assuming by saying it's not an F1 car is being a jealous idiot?

It's an amazing video, I gave it a thumbs up, and you have issues..

@eagleeyes86 Hint: have you ever driven an F1 car? Great vid and nice driving dude. Thanks for sharing. Ignore the jealous idiots!
