Man that Judd V8 sounds glorious. Ive watched hundreds of videos over the years and it still gives me goosebumps hearing it driven in anger.

Simply Jaw Dropping.

Hey guys, I always wanted to know if those roads that you depict in this video were public roads, and I always wanted to know how long they stay closed, because it seems you have unlimited content 24/7!

These Judd V8s have a very distinct note to them, don't they? I had the pleasure to witness one live this year at Hockenheim, and couldn't decide whether it had a flatplane or a crossplane crankshaft. I mean, they rev much higher than a crossplane crank would be comfortable with but the exhaust sound nevertheless includes some "slight" V8 rumble all throughout the rev range. On the other hand, inside the car, it sounds like a flatplane.

Good observation. These things have a strangely hard edge to them. The 2016 Shelby GT350 pulls the same trick and that thing actually starts to sound more like a flat-plane V8 when you lift off the gas. That's a characteristic I think I detected in this video, so it might just be unequal length exhaust headers doing the talking, like in the Shelby. Just a theory, though.

[@ActionMacaque]

@@mitchell-wallisforce7859 You might be on to something. I considered it but then read somewhere that unequal length headers are difficult at high revs due to how they make the exhaust gas flow. I'm not an engineer, though, so I have no idea whether that actually makes such a large difference. Also, just recently I watched a video of M3 GTR flybys at the Nürburgring and after subtracting the gear whine, it had a comparable note to the Judd V8 in this video right here.

If it looks fast on camera I could only imagine actually witnessing this

[@STILLNIGHTPEARL]

This thing is insane! I wonder what it will do around Tsukuba? Low 50s for sure.

Incroyable il freine du pied gauche, c'est assez rare. Il restera mon pilote préféré 🔥

[@helldiablo8471]

Bcp de pilotes le font, surtout ceux qui ont fait du kart. C'est parfait pour gerer l equilibre du vehicule, je l'adore mais je preferais sa 190 😅

[@3800S1]

The Judd V8 is the only V8.

[@ultrazauberer2356]

Judd Power! And just 750 kg. Isane

[@WarrenRCG]

Without the 5 point harness, those balls of steel would have destroyed the engine under braking.

[@ianteuscher9467]

F1 engine and blown diffusor thats the shit :)
