Unfortunately no specs, but if he manages to get some traction I also believe it to be a very fast car. The original 850 Turbo has 225Bhp and they are known for being quite easy to tune well over 350Bhp. My guess would be that this car has even more.

Haha, that was badass. I like the ?third? gear rolling burnout...

It may very well be 850-TR which had something like 280 hp or ever 850 R which had something 300+ hp

T5-R = 240Bhp and R = 250Bhp

After riding with my dad when he tested an 850 T a while ago, i think its safe for me to say that the car in this particular instance has gotta have about double the standard BHP!!!! That thing is mental!! He must spend a fuck load of money on tyres!! lol :shock:

Where's the traction damn it!!! :shock:
FWD + High power Output = Pointless
This cars have a lot of torque,so its easy to have traction problems if you accelerate too much even in a original T-5...

This one was tuned by AutoTech Motors in Sweden, http://www.atechmotor.com
IIRC, it has 400+bhp..... So yes, that might be a bit much for the wheels that are only needed for steering. ;)

Haha yeah seen this vid before, that is one mental car, the turbo noise is sooo sweet. Nice how he gets the rolling burnouts going without the car twitching at all! Love it.
