Godmorning! The 8īs is taken!
Hello!

I just took the first AWD 8 today! The time was: 8.98/155mph. Timeslip and film are coming later on.

I hope that all of you that has donated money and supported me and my trip to the USA, will get some value now Soon you will own the worlds fastest t-shirt

ED, put on the biggest turbo you have, and come down to the NATS

Looking forward to see you all at the NATS!

Regards Happy Robert, proud owner to the 8 second Syclone!

is that a 8.98 in 1000' instead of a 1/4 mile (1320 ft), cause i noticed that you speed was in km/h?? still a great run.

More info www.syclone.org


More films from my trip to us in septembert 2006 (Best Run in US was a 9.06 @ 154mph)

My first test runs in us ...
Video - Robert Tribute Video


Just back from the dyno.

We could not get enough air to the engine to keep it cool so we couldn't make a full pass. After the 1st one we decided it was not worth the risk to try more.

The one was about 750 rwhp and 1017 Newton meters ( boost on dyno was 23 psi
Max boost on race 29 psi


Mr. Syclone Dyno Session - Google Video

Here is some video of us driving the truck from the track to the hotel. Over 30 miles.
YouTube - Robert USA Drive on street

Regards Robert
