"it's known that power comes from a twin-turbo 4.2-litre V8 with around 450hp"

you think they could get more out of it with two turbos. And I wouldnt think that an RS would be detuned.

I'm sure that estimate is low. It does sound amazing though. Looks like the guy driving it was having fun cutting off all those Mercs LOL

I definately heard some forced induction at the beginning, but it sounded a bit more like a supercharger than the whine of a turbo.

But of course, this was hearing it from a video for a second so who knows?

I think that 450 is pretty low as well.
