Supposedly, all you need to run an 8-second quarter mile at Bahrain International Circuit drag strip is a Porsche 911 Turbo S and a tuned ECU.

It seems he was pedaling it off the line (or bogging).
I bet he's capable of a 1.5-6 0-60.

It's unlike the staff at GRM to post kanoos on their own forum...
(I have no explanation for my attempt at humor except that the Porsche melted my brain)

I don't think they were implying the only mod was a tune. I'm sure it's at the very least on bigger twins.

I'd assume that's what launch control says is fastest. AWD and rear engine makes for pretty astonishing amounts of traction.

It's Bahrain..... the culture has decided safety is a non-issue. I've had it explained to me along with many other things like the multi-wife thing, but I'm not sure about all of it.

Man, that thing really wanted that center line, didn't it?

I don't think that's as boggy as it looks. The recorder says 1.42 60'. I think it's just not possible to spin 4 sticky tires with rear-weight-biased awd and a light motor, so your only launch option that doesn't involve dropping half your rpm is to slip the hell out of the clutch with 800 hp going across it. When you're already doing 1.4 60' id say the cost/return ratio on that is poor.

There are fast ones around here too.

You can tell the exhaust isn't stock as well.
I'm sure bigger churbos, catless downpipes, intake, etc.
