Default 8x Turbo 57 Ls1 Chevy.

I dont really see the point other than the unique factor, but then again this car probably will not be driven often. Thumbs up to the guy who did it though.

Edit: Sorry guys I screwed up on the Title ops:

Dayam...that guy is nuts...not very aesthetically pleasing though...and I kind of wonder how efficient all those turbos are from a fluid dynamics standpoint.

It's a show car, that set up is purely for show. It's output isn't exactly impressive with that much turbo's...
