Anyone know this car?

Claims 900 hp. Guessing that is a bit of puffery.

Ask for the dyno to prove the hp claim.

Would be news to me if they ever did. Sounds like they are getting tuners mixed up.

On their website, if you click on R230, you get this page:

Pic at top left shows

Turbochargers & Accessories


But when you click on that, you just get anti-surge valve set and billet oil filter cap.

Was hoping someone here knew the car.
