Team Fernandez is continuing to burn the midnight oil in preparation for their assault on the World Time Attack Challenge in May.
Starting with an ex-V8 Supercar shell, the 5 litre engine is now long gone and now sitting in its place is a 4 litre XR6 turbo engine and a Holinger sequential 6 speed gearbox.
With a full Plazmaman turbo inlet and cooling setup, the goal is 900 to 1000 horsepower while still retaining throttle response. When you consider that a V8 Supercar makes about 650hp and runs on a full slick tyre (Time Attack cars run on R-spec tyres) you can see that with more power and less grip this has the making of one seriously exciting vehicle indeed and certainly, if everything goes to plan, something that will take the world on – Australian style!
