The car was built by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/edmspeedprojects\/\">EDM Speed Projects<\/a> for Powerflex and debuted at 2021 Goodwood FoS. EDM Speed Projects converted the car from FWD to RWD using Subaru STI subframes. Power is generated by a naturally aspirated 4.0 L S65 V8 from a BMW E92 M3. Behind that is a M-DCT seven-speed transmission and Impreza Spec-C limited-slip differential. Watch Jonny and Chris have a great time driving this little monster in the video below. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\"
