\"Datsun<\/a><\/p>\n

Dylan Auton spent six years building a Datsun 1600 race car for World Time Attack Challenge<\/a>. The car is powered by a stroked 6.0 L VK56DE V8 previously built by Kelly Racing for V8 Supercar racing. It features forged internals, individual throttle bodies, dry sump, and nitrous system. The V8 produces 640-660 hp (470-485 kW) (naturally aspirated) and is paired to an Albins sequential transaxle. Up front they swapped the McPherson front suspension for a double-wishbone Supercar front suspension. Braking will be handled by AP Racing LMP-spec carbon disc brakes covered by a prev-generation Supercar centerlock wheel. Andrew Brilliant from AMB Aero<\/a> designed the extreme aero. The car will compete at WTAC 2025 in the Pro Open Class with James Golding behind the wheel. <\/p>\n
