I've not come across it before. It looks completely insane!
I hope he's uprated everything else, otherwise I imagine it spins if you look at the throttle pedal. Quite like the flared wheelarches. I wonder what it tops out at, though I suppose it would take off before running out of grunt! |

It doesn't look like the turbo would last long with the air intake just by the road wheel and no filter.

  Well, it's not a race car is it?  Actually, because it's a Dolomite should I move it to Classic Cars??

It is a road car and is driven daily to work
Apparently coombe was done on the 500 hp engine It now has 850 hp with the nitrous running There is a huge air filter that saves the turbo and its cruised to 185 mph at bruntingthorpe quite easily I have seen quite a few videos of this car just wondering if there are any others floating about as i have always liked the Dolomite sprints

That must liven up the morning commute a bit for him and everyone else!
I know a chap who commuted for a while in a GT40 replica with a 5.7L V8. He later used an Ultima with the same engine for his daily drive! |

Wow I want a 500 horse daily driver. Especially one that looks as mean as that Triumph.
