Brutal F1-Sounding "Peugeot 207" MC2 || Formula Renault 3.5 V6 Power

[@jamesowen5492]

The story behind this young mans car is almost as amazing as that engine note! Top vid as always

[@HillClimbMonsters]

We certainly encourage all viewers to search for Alex Kelsey´s story ;)

[@JJSideshowBob]

That's crazy. An engineering savant. A pretty good driver, too. Super technical track by the way

[@jamesowen5492]

I mean anyone who uses a r/c jet engine to demist the windscreen is definitely someone worth looking into

[@Acozijn]

If only he built his own total exterior too, would love to see what he can come up with

[@nickmendez3707]

@Rik von Himmlick- Schpoonler it's disgusting what NZ Motorsports did to him

[@ryantodd8414]

0:18 I like to think that the subie is backing away in fear

[@ianguerilla]

2nd fastest car at the event the Subie.

[@hongthainguyen5334]

ianguerilla Alister McRae has balls and skills.

[@danspeed7039]

That subie won the event. ALSO that subie is basically still a full steel car from 1998. This Peugeot is full tube frame

[@_Chamberlain]

it's like he just realised he was in frame :P

[@thereal1loudmerc335]

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@matthewb9241]

Nothing like a screaming formula engine. That made my quarantine just a smidge better. Thanks for that.

Always glad to help in this difficult time ;)

Very underrated comment

[@PlAyEr-qk6uj]

🤣

[@Zolepapa]

Actually it was MCrae's Car .. :D

[@TURST67]

But watch the video of this car, McRae is driving it and he goes way faster than this Peugeot.

[@fran4872]

Lmao so good 😂😂😂

[@limmersusi1872]

He needs a little more longer straights to hear the hole perfect sound of this perfect engine 👍🏎️

[@r2deizer681]

Agreed 👍👍👍

[@installshieldwizard3017]

Like...a race track?

[@TheMitch883]

Mamma mia... Absolute kudos and really well done! So refreshing to hear a NA engine driven by a real driver in a real car and no fancy trickery, but back to basics! More please...

[@HillClimbMonsters]

There´s plenty more coming ;)

[@Vladi306]

If ever there was a properly "aggressive" six cylinder exhaust note, this is it. I'm sure it's deliciously ear-splitting, IRL. Something about that livery reminds me of NFSU. Heh

[@gabekenyon4882]

The fuck do you mean if there ever was?

[@Jefreeman13]

Gabe kenyon Settle down Gabe, no reason to get your feelings hurt.

[@juniorhulzebos1005]

[@tomaiheke4435]

This sounds better in real life. I am blessed with living in the same town as Alex 👌

[@xTaiZna]

Didnt know a V6 can sound like this - eargasm !

[@HillClimbMonsters]

Now you know ;)

[@MrCornholios]

Because of Titanium/Inconel exhaust and ex.manifolds

[@mikkelbagterp8074]

@@MrCornholios And because it's literally an F1 engine.

[@degenerateactual3080]

Exhaust manifold design is to blame. Any six or twelve cylinder can achieve this type of sound with equal length headers into a 6-to-1 collector (one for each bank on a V12). Easy to achieve on an Inline 6 or V12, a bit trickier on a V6.

[@arlynbaladad9008]

@Rik von Himmlick- Schpoonler It's actually Formula Renault

[@MrStrat01]

Peugeot is second to none in making the best and amazing rally cars 😍🤩

[@chriscoolTV]

Moteur renault donc non

[@Casey_J96]

Such a cool car! I think The Smoking Tire had done a review of it back in the day. Cool story behind the build

[@HillClimbMonsters]

Will be nice to see its evolution from now on ;)

[@pierremaillet2099]

C'est ce que j'apprécie le plus sur cette chaîne et sur les courses de côte donc, c'est la diversité des modèles.

[@JoaoSilva-gs5jb]

I know Kelsey's project for about 4 year when smoking tire filmed it, what an amazing car project, this sir achieved a true petrolhead dream! and he knows how to drive fast and too!

[@Spudchucker92]

One of the best V6 engine notes I've heard in a while.

[@HillClimbMonsters]

Doesn´t get much better, but we have a couple more on our channel that can compete ;)

[@afroafroguy]

Spudchucker92 What if I told you that engine is an upgraded Nissan vq35. Same as in a 350z and Renault Espace minivan...

[@mate.gyerek]

Sounds brutal 🔊 💯 . A modern Group B fealing monster ✌

[@kevintucker3354]

This car was hand built by a genius teenager from NZ! What a talented kid and what a machine!

[@paulwolfie4395]

Awesome video! What a great sound! Reminds of the old days watching Andy Burtons Peugeot cos worth rallying through the forests! You would certainly hear him before you see him! Great video guys , keep up the great work! Many thanks.

[@HillClimbMonsters]

Thanks Paul, and Andy did help with this build 😉

[@paulwolfie4395]

@@HillClimbMonsters thanks for the reply, appreciated. Yeah, miss that Peugeot cossie, WRC cars sound alright, but would really attract more viewer's if they sounded like this!!! Thanks again mate for your reply. Keep up the great video work!

[@malvernvlahakis2208]

I've got no words, never heard anything better

[@Cole_King]

It's a glorious sound it sounds like a 1000cc superbike going top speed on the Isle of Man TT Race course. Great upload HCM 😎

Thanks ;)

You’d NEED that hot rod to get away from my mom if you drove into her hydrangeas like that!

[@alanb9337]

Fortunately some of the plants are agapanthus, which is classified as a noxious weed in many places of NZ, Alex was weed wacking the garden.

[@Hetzerg]

@@alanb9337 isnt weed valuable? Still vandalism to me to destroy things that are valueable such as weeds

[@kize32]

I'm surprised the engine is still alive after such a long time

[@HillClimbMonsters]

They just need proper servicing. From that point, they are super reliable and can take quite a beating ;)

[@joe125ful]

Why?Its simply old engine..

[@_-_ttt_-_]

Any chance to see this engine specs with photos somewhere? Or some build process?

[@jamesowen5492]

tttttt just search k.c engineering there’s loads of vids on his build

[@conradsealy9603]

Isnt that a Nissan engine. I thought it was made by Nissan but I could be wrong.

[@firejam78]

So I've had to watch this in different stages as I have had to go and clean myself up each time 😂

[@joe125ful]

Great car! And somewhere there is Formula with Peugeot engine:)

Dayum, that's one beast of a car.

[@adamkhan5274]

I drove in the inaugraul renault 3.5 v6 series in 2003. The engines were blocks from the Velsatis but heavily modified. Very torquey and punchy throughout range.

[@supertrix101]

This car should be racing in the modern WRC.

[@HillClimbMonsters]

It would draw the crowds, that´s for sure...

[@CarlosGarcia-ze6rt]

I've known if this car for a long time and just know i realised that it's the modern equivalent of the MG metro 6r4

[@florenceflavien3970]

yes👍

It's been a while since I saw this guy!! I'm happy that he continues with that beast

the "group b" concept is always the best way to build a MONSTER

[@gbajien]

the best of both French brands! Peugeot rally hot-hatch chassis with a Renault 3.5L V6 engine

[@C-M-E]

Funny story time: I somehow in my morning 'Tube binge had about 20 tabs open and this one ended up opening a jpg picture instead of a video tab. The next few minutes were a feverish search to figure out where the video went as I desperately wanted to find out if this was the car I heard some years ago. Worth it. (Had to go digging for the other car I was thinking of, too; 2012 Alpine A110-50 Concept)

[@YszapHun]

somebody give this guy a serious sponsor!!!

[@andrewreid2314]

Spectacular car! I've had the pleasure of seeing this thing in gravel rallies - hearing that engine echoing through the forest was unforgettable.

[@noobieelf4888]

Literally just the VQ35 that everyone likes to hate on for the sound lol Imo even the standard engines sound amazing

[@TheDrAkira]

My God this PUG is the proud Son of France ahhahha! A little stiff chassis with a monster v6!!! Soo great!

Love this body kit, reminds me of the good old Peugeot 206 WRC somehow, but modernized... and not as spaceship as current WRC cars.

Can Honda NSX V6 engine sound like this though...

[@MainMite06]

Irfan YXP Maybe, but the NSX engine(C32) is a 90 degree V6, this engine in the video 60 degree Nissan V6 engine(VQ35DE) . Most of the JGTC NSXs ran a destroke setup & equal length headers but those sound high pitched.. So dont really think the NSX engine could sound this deep..
