"It has a Ferrari-Lotec twin-turbo flat-12 with slightly less horsepower than the streamliner. The Testa d’Oro boasts 750 horsepower at 4000 rpm and 600 lb-ft of torque at 5000 rpm. At the time of its manufacture, these numbers were incredible. They took the car to the Bonneville Salt Flats to break the record in 1989." I can see the writer was obviously not a car guy.
