Jean-Philippe Dayraut is building a small Dacia Duster to attack Pikes Peak 2011. At the heart of the project is Nissan’s twin-turbo VR38DETT V6. The Duster will race in the Unlimited class. The car was designed and built by Tork Engineering, while the engine was built by Sodemo. The engine will produce at least 850 horsepower and 660 lb-ft of torque. We expect a great result if that rear wing can hold this 2,094 lb monster down. Could this be the first VR38DETT engine swap?
This is awesome, I forsee entertainment.
By the way, Nissan recently swapped the GT-R drivetrain into a Juke.
I need to change my pants after that one, can’t wait to see footage from Pikes.
Wow that was sick…. i love GT-R MOTORS
Well, it’s not a Dacia Duster, it’s only a skin of Duster over a custom made chassis. I wouldn’t call it a swap, it’s a race car.
Good choice anyways 🙂
