It raced all sorts of cars already, from crazy Wankel builds to drag racing classics such as the Nissan GT-R albeit under an Altima skin and it always came out on top. Surely, it s not going to lose its first race to an SUV, will it?

That car has custom everything, from the carbon fiber body to the non-existent interior, and its engine bay is a wonderful feat of design and engineering. The coolest part, however, is its rear wing. Not only is it massive, but it literally works like the flaps on an airplane while the car is airborne, helping Travis Pastrana bring the rear down with pinpoint precision.
