Awesomesauce... Didn't Hot Wheels do one of those last year as well?

EDIT: Found it

It's the set World Record for longest Corkscrew Jump too, I just don't know if it was a full 360°, as the receiving Orange Track was slanted. Also, Hot Wheels actually released a 1/64 sized version of the Buggy used for the stunt.

They did. The difference was all previous attempts used landing ramps, thus making them technically not true 360s. Adrian not only landed on a flat but was airborne before he hit the element that started the spin, making it a true 360° roll

Dayum... Thanks for the info, that's totally wicked. Also, totally not related to the topic, but you seem to be the right person to ask: Do they actually make Buggies like this one in the US?

Kinja'd!!!

It's a Y.A.R.E. from Driver San Francisco, which the game's page describes as having a Chevrolet 350 V8. I always assumed it was a real car, but when I started looking for more info on these I started to think they're... well, not. Which is a damn shame, as this is one of the coolest cars in the game.

Depends on what you're asking. Do they make buggies that look like that? Yeah, pretty much, though they're not rocking V8s

Kinja'd!!!

Which isn't to say there aren't V8 buggies, there are. They just look larger and more substantial.

Kinja'd!!!

The V8 buggies, known as "Class 1" cars are on average about 600-700 horsepower with 37 inch tires, four wheel independent suspension, and over 30 inches of travel

Awesome... I really want one of those now, just looking at them brings back memories. Back when I was in high school, one of the places I used to hang out was a motorcycle shop in town which built and raced roll cages such as these:

Kinja'd!!!

Ours were smaller, fully enclosed single seater cars with 250 CC Yamaha or Honda engines strapped to a matching sequential gearbox in the back. The headers came out right below your right arm, which caused a lot of nasty burns until you got used to it and the car was so small it almost felt like an extension of your body when you strapped in. Move around, and the car moved around as well. Too bad I never made anything out of it, aside from track testing the cars, but then again, I doubt there was much future in amateur dirt racing in Brazil.

Thanks, but I'm aware of the difference (considering I used to work for an airline and my brother workes at Pratt & is building a plane in the garage I'd better), I use the wrong term because when I use the right one no one knows what I'm talking about. ;)
