I have tried to read as much as possible on this and the specs seem to point to a supercar destroyer.

The thing has 1000Nm of torque, 500hp and yet weighs something like 1800kgs, that puts it's PTW at the same as a M6 yet it's Torque to weight is double it. Think how quick the M6 is and then take off about 20% from it's figures, plus this thing will easily reach beyond 200mph if they want it too.

Want it doesn't even come close.

This is the engine that is in the lemans prototype cars I believe. If you have ever been to one of those races, even the fully race built ones are DEAD SILENT.
