My God, the sound of that car....just simply awesome....

[sammy]

For 12k that's actually pretty amazing for what you get

[LawrenceAbramoff]

I want to see hotlaps between this and the W1

[Freedom_Now_]

Ha love it. About to drop $25k on a 547Kw Walkinshaw package for my VF R8 clubbie. The car is already insane as is. Cant wait..

[ImNotJust]

See a white one at the Gold Coast it looks beautiful turned my head instantly, Its sounds crazy in real life

[sndrd]

Does the jumper come with the interior package? Is there a matching golf cap?

[paulabela]

Looks great and goes even better!!!👍👍😃

[karlsmith]

Gm so lame for not bringing this car to the us

[nk]

So it makes 400hp at the tires in assuming?

[kristianspencer]

Nice except for the auto box, but I’d still buy a vxr8 Bathurst s for £35000. Or even a standard vxr8 with the wortec exhaust system.❤️

[wogga]

Why did they test this at a karting track?

[t]

Noticed the bugs or scratches on the front page already, lol :)

[thomasdavico]

Struggles to get power to the ground, obviously not a great track car. Just a tyre shredding beast.

[tetawariwaretini]

dose it come with a manual transmission

[DoubleDeckerAnton]

It's a Beast 😈 of a car!
Lovely maroon colour! 👌😀👍

[DemonGaviria]

Worst thing is your not allowed to drive it until 24 in Australia

[dainengiurietto]

Anybody know the name of the music in the background??

[Terrestrial..]

Yes it could have done with a differently tuned exhaust, (re the old bi - plane sound).

[jasonswift]

Figures are an estimate at the crank only! no real dyno sheets available for the ATW figures.

[yugoboss]

Whats a 750 hp commodore like? Like a 300 hp silvia
