2000 whp coming from a hybrid powertrain (4WD electric drivetrain and 3.0-liter twin-turbo 16,000rpm flat-10 engine). 8-speed paddle-shift 2-clutch gearbox. Two downforce fans on a blown diffuser, complemented with DRS and air brakes. All in a package weighing 800kg fully-laden (175kg fuel, 90kg driver, less all other fluids).

The goal: take on any track, any tarmac hillclimb, and win.

Below is a green-screen version because I like opening Pandora’s boxes.

Not the same past the cockpit though.

I love this!

I made micro versions of the Sauber Mercedes C9 and the Mazda 787B when I was bored on Lego Digital Designer.

Flat 10? What kind of unobtanium...

I took three boxer engines, lopped two cylinders out of one of them, and put the rest together. Easy.

(Well no, I didn’t, that’s an original engine, but come on.)
