    Welcome back to the show! This big turbo 500HP Mini Cooper R56 JCW WC50 is probably the most insane FWD car we've ever driven here at Roads Untraveled! The built 1.6L turbocharged inline-4 under the hood puts down 455whp to the front wheels, all while laying down laughably long strips of rubber onto the tarmac below. Lorenzo, RPMPowered, and others have all put countless hours and thought into this project, and you can check out more of their work below! Enjoy.

      @@I_vchris it will not cost this much. However, billet components of this size do have a high cost to manufacture. Its not about what type or vehicle it goes on. It is about material cost, tooling setup, programming, etc. Cosmetic design can also impact the cost of production. It is a lot involved until a product of this quality is made.

      Hey Josh, its not an off the shelf turbo. We had it customized by SpectrumMotorsport to our turbokit needs. But I believe a good comparison would be a gtx2863~ with some minor changes. This specific unit was flow tested at 42lbs/min. Build based of a Duall BB CHRA cartage, custom milled 47mm 11blade billet compressor wheel, gt28 hot side wheel and .64ar hot housing in v band. I hope that gives you an idea.

    You couldn’t drive a bicycle.
    It’s such a shame that they have you drive these cars when you don’t have the balls to show what they can do.

    Yo Marcus I'm not sure if your aware but there's a Russian RUclips channel call roads untraveled and he's stealing your content and uploading it. I can gmail or dm you his channel name if you want to have it taken down. Cheers

      Hi Max! Thanks for the heads up, but that's actually our channel as well 😁 They dub our videos so we can reach the Russian audience. Don't worry, we receive the ad revenue from that channel too haha. Enjoy!
