sdca7 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Very cool! Sounds like an amazing car. I am excited to see them trying a supercharged version. Just for the record, though, the R500 is not stressed as heavily as the article suggests. Mine has many track days without any engine problems (other than some electrical gremlins). In fact, the higher torque at lower revs for a boosted non-forged engine could be a riskier bet than the lower torque, high revving R500. I think it is a great idea to add the supercharger, but I'm not sure they can claim a reliability advantage just yet. R500's have a great reliability record so far, and time will tell with the R600.

Off Road SHO Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I'm assuming it is a roots style blower, probably an M-62 size given the 2 liter displacement. After having an M-90 Eaton on my buggy's 3.2 L Yamaha, I can honestly say that ought to be an absolute hoot to drive. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
