The Awesome Thread has recently been getting a strong infiltration of cars. So why not have a dedicated automotive edition.

Same idea as the other one, except only car related awesomeness here please.

Wow! Talk about minimalism.

And look at the brakes. They're huge in diameter but tiny in contact area.

Sorry, I've managed to bring nerdiness to a thread about awesome. I fail.

Can we see that thing lap the TG track. Please?
 
And here is a video of it running. The wail is intoxicating.

I love how it looks absolutely stock, and even the engine looks more or less original.
Can you say ultimate sleeper?
