  • What an absolutely epic film! This is one of the best driving vids on youtube I've seen (secretly, it made me pop over to Hyundai's website to check the price on a Genesis).

  • Man that turbo spooling like that sounds like a damn jet.

see all

  • Belles images malgré la ressemblance avec le film de la Peugeot 405 T16 à vatanen. Manque dimagination

  • really nice video,,,,,i'm impressed

    

  • @CHASE06051990 Lol yeah, especially in slow-mo all u can hear is the turbo whine. Gotta love it.

  • @Finq08 AWD can be faster or slower, it all depends on the class of racing and what the rules permit. Time Attack for example is filled with road going AWD vehicles. Look up the Cyber Evo which holds the top record at many famous racetracks; it is AWD. Really it all comes down to how much tuning has been done to the vehicle. There are many fast RWD Time Attack cars as well, it just depends on how the vehicle is set up and what it will be used for. There are even competitive FWD cars out there.

  • @Einhander49 I dont get the Speed Channel where I live.

    I dont doubt at all that 4WD is WAY faster in rally. But it simply isnt if you're driving on an asphalt race track.

    Or, if you think it is, why's every touring car for example RWD? Only because they dont have 1200bhp , because that much power would be faster? That makes no sense.

  • @Finq08 It seems to me like your knowledge on motorsports in general is very limited, and only limited to American motorsports. You should watch the speed channel and indulge in more sophisticated (and yes, faster) forms of racing. One good example on just how much faster 4wd is - is the Escudo Pikes Peak run. Yeah, its the unlimited class, but it does prove the point that 4wd is the faster form of racing.

  • @Einhander49 So why's every race car RWD then? AWD may get you more grip, but its heavy as fuck.

  • @Finq08 Yeah, of course but still looks like it :)

  • @Xelathercdriver yeah, only real with a driver that actually has skill and a car that actually is fast. But besides that, its just like Fast and Furious. ;-)

  • That turbo-sound is insanity. Awesome.
