Oh and BTW, the green bug-eye sprite at the end is powered by a turbocharged 20B 3 rotor!!

Fantastic video!!! Wow. That in-car video of the bug-eyed Sprite at the end REALLY captures the essence of being in the car and racing, which is VERY hard to do on video. Take a minute to watch one of the best vids I've ever seen created by the image master Stephen Chiang!!!

Used to be 3 rotor. My friend here at work who knows the owner said that the turbocharged 3 rotor made too much power and he couldn't keep the car hooked up, so he went back to a turbocharged 2 rotor, which is what we see in the video. The car now stays hooked up and is much faster. Stupid fast in fact. I don't even know how you can anticipate and turn the wheel that damn quickly. Incredible car and driver!!

I saw the Sprite in person when I raced in the SCCA ProSolo in Lincoln, NE. Fast as hell and sounds fantastic.
