will enter a highly modified twin-turbocharged NSX into the competition, and if you think what is under the hood is crazy, just look at it.
The uses a twin-turbo version of the C96S engine found in the NSX that produces 850hp. Lovefab sells the turbo kits based around a Garrett turbo and a large variety of parts that it builds itself including the exhaust, water-to-air intercooler, intercooler water reservoir and a variety of other parts.
In addition to the wild engine modifications, Lovefab has added large front and rear wings and a unique body. If it were not for the engine and chassis coming from one, you could barely call this car an NSX.
Below there are three videos that Lovefab has released of the car. The first one is testing for Pikes Peak, while the other two show earlier evolutions of the car.
