Not fake. They have that capability.

Electric motors give the vehicle the ability to "drive" like a tank, turning the wheels on either side of the car in opposite directions.

Can't tell if this is real or CGI. I know there are guys crazy enough to hit a jump that hard, but I've watched this about 10 times and something about it seems off.

What say you?

Yeah, I was thinking the same....but they did a good job of making it look real.





Hmm? I've got the kit and the turbo....

Difference is exhaust in the water…cool water condenses the oil that is in suspension in the exhaust. Couple that with a small container and you will get that film. The motor is also probably running a little rich.
