320 hp rolls royce-allison gas turbine but if that's not quite . enough you can upgrade to the 420hp model. they're built about 20 miles away from me. these guys are doing some wild stuff. a 10 sec mini cooper, 318 hp outboard motor, air boats, race boats, everything turbine powered. he's the guy that built jay lenos bike.
