Introducing: The Meanest Looking Custom Built Skyline R34 GTR 1/7th Scale Remote Control RC Car

Passion, It's the thing that drives us to achieve. The push we feel to dare to dream something, ideal, and then manifest that vision into reality. For anyone who's ever fallen head over heels into an engine bay, or body work, or getting your car track ready, YOU KNOW that feeling that drives you to customize and make things as you feel they should be. Your intuition is second to none.  RC Car Skyline GTR R34 Custom Built Remote Control Car This GTR is no different from any of the other incredible cars featured on this site ( just look around; there's red ones , blue ones , silver ones , white ones , black ones ) - except for one, small, detail. - It's 1/7th the size! You wouldn't be able to fit inside it, but it still rips around like a GTR should, and is a whole lot of fun to drive I'm sure, and the customization on this build is phenomenal.  Nissan Skyline GTR RC Car Rear End Spotted on the RC sub, user XJuggernaut101 shared their build story with us of ho...

Free Valve Engine Head Technology from Koenigsegg

Drive investigated Koenigsegg's latest technology called Free Valve Technology, which basically allows the engine head a number of major advantages over traditional Camshaft and Valve Technology. 
This new technology allows them to play the engine like a musical instrument as mentioned by Harrison Von Koenigsegg in the clip above;
  • 20% improvement in fuel efficiency, can be retrofitted to most second hand cars.
  • 50% less emissions - potentially with optimization
  • Plans to use engine as air compressor in the future for boost and power regeneration.
  • 2,500 rpm truck valve or 15,000 rpm motorcycle valve, up to 20,000 rpm if necessary.
  • Individual control of each valve making possible square opening response curve to allow better air flow.
  • Actually results in less weight on engine.
  • Can be retrofitted to any car with valves.
  • No camshafts at all - 'nuff said.
Someone needs to step up and put this on an RB26... or an RB30, someone who's done some Awesome things with engines before like R.I.P.S. Racing and their RB30DET Dragster, or Spool Imports and RB34DET 1,070 AWhp R34 GTR.
