Pommy Thunder
Bastardised Rating : (9 out of 10)

Nitrous Oxide injection.
Garrett Turbocharger.
Porsche 928 Fuel Injection
Over 500bhp !!
This is one FAAAASSST Minor. Autocar & Motor tested it against the stopwatch back in 1989 and when compared to a Ferrari F40, the fastest ever road car at the time, it made the F40 look decidedly pokey. Check out the chart below.
