lmfao, i love how the impatient asshole in the little red car squeezes out and cuts around him, and one of the camera crew goes towards the car like hes going to kill the guy, hahaha.
definitely sounds (and smokes!) like a diesel when he accelerates, but it idles like a big cammed v8. maybe it just needs a good tuning?
so what is actually in it? what model specifically, not just configuration.

I guess he`s not happy about him squeezing by a car that`s been worked on non stop for over 6 months.The engine is as far as i know still the modified 4l lexus V8 with Twin turbos.

Suicide mission?
After 6 months of construction the Rebellion took it's first ride on the streets of Stockholm. The car is far more insane that I could ever imagine and Tokan who has built the car has done a more then incredible job… It sounds like something that should fly to space!

Damn. Just read he's going with the lambo again this year, seems like they couldn't get the Rebellion to work as well as they would've liked. Tokan is meeting him with the Lambo in Paris.
