S3 EP7 - Porsche Troubles? = Sam Brabham discusses the Brabham legacy and more

There's a bit going on in the world of Porsche.

There's a car that I've never heard of, the Nissan Z, which I must say, or Zed, looks like a pretty cool little thing.

And a bit of stuff going on for Mad Max fans as well.

So, Patrick, what's doing with the Donkervoort P, whatever that is, RS car? Yeah.

Yes, we actually got the pronunciation spot on the Donkervoort P24RS.

This is one of the most sort of exclusive lightweight supercars that's out there in the top tier automotive world right now.

It's made in the Netherlands by a company founded by Joep Donkervoort 49 years ago.

And this thing is pretty spectacular.

So it has 600 horsepower turbocharged V6 engine.

The thing is it only weighs 780 kilograms.

So you can do the maths on the power to weight ratio there.

It is off the charts.

It's so off the charts.

You can actually, there's a little dial that you can turn to choose between 400, 500 and 600 horsepower in there.

The interesting thing with this car, though, it came out earlier in the year, so people in Europe might have already heard of this, but the company just announced this week that they are doing right-hand drive production for the first time ever in their nearly half a century history.

Right-hand drive donkey boat.

That's it.

So let's say 0-200 in 7.4 seconds.

Yeah, they don't quote a 0-100, they quote a 0-200 in 7.4 seconds.

Yeah, why would you quote a 0-100 when you can quote 0-200 and it's faster than most cars get to 100?

That's it.

And my favourite stat is that through the corners, it will pull 2.3 Gs of lateral acceleration.

That's how hard this thing will corner.

Well, I'll

tell you what, I actually do dig the look of it.
