Inte ironi.

If you want a full test of for example drive train, you just put as much power you can to see where things broke. My way of trying to explain why the engine sounded so much more than todays car which I believe is similar to regulations. But not the first testing car which didn´t need to... Förstår du vad jag menar?

They could have used a 2 litre engine with no limitation on turbo. Which made the car having 400+ hp without any difficulties.
