Georg Plasa was a German hill climber who drove this amazing Judd V8 powered BMW 134. The car was based on an E82 chassis and powered by a Judd KV675 V8 that makes 500 horsepower. Judd built these engines for 2001 Le Mans Prototypes using the Formula 3000 KV V8 as a base. They increased the displacement to 3.4 liters and reinforced the engine for endurance racing. Unfortunately Georg died from a crash during the 2011 Coppa Carotti in Italy. Take a look back at some of his amazing driving in an amazing car.

How much horsepower does this engine make? Trying to make a replica in my game (sadly they don’t have his car there and the closest thing you can get looks nothing like it but I’ll make due with what I’ve got)
500-550 horsepower
