Under the Hood
How the magic actually works.
Animated cutaways of the engineering inside the showcase, plus rankings for people who like numbers more than paint colours.
Engine room
Watch an engine breathe.
Every layout in the showcase, built in 3D with the real crank geometry and firing order: inline-4, V6, flat-6, V8 and V12. Then take a turbo to the Boost Lab and feel exactly what lag is.

Assembling the engine…Boost Lab
Feel turbo lag, then kill it.
Your best 0–100 km/h per setup
Exhaust gas spins the turbine at up to 190,000 rpm. On the same shaft the compressor packs air into the engine. Until the exhaust has enough energy, boost lags behind your foot. Smaller twin turbos, a 48-volt motor or an electric motor on the shaft all close that gap.
Ear test
Name the car by its engine note
Eight rounds. You hear an idle, a throttle blip and a run to the redline, and watch the waveform. Then pick which showcase car it was.
Engine builder
Design an engine. See what it makes.
Choose the cylinders, bore, stroke, redline and how it breathes. Get the displacement, a live dyno chart, piston speed and the engine in the showcase it most resembles, then rev it.
Tech Lab
Tap a hotspot. See it move.

The great drag
Every car. One launch.
The whole collection lined up and launched together, each at its real 0–100 km/h time.
Stopping distance
Fast is easy. Stopping is physics.
Pick a car, a speed, a surface and how alert the driver is. Then see whether it stops before the crossing.

Performance map
The whole collection, plotted.
Pick any two numbers and see where every car lands. Bubble size shows weight; colour shows body style. Tap a bubble to open the car.
By the numbers
Who works hardest?
Specific output (hp per litre) shows how hard an engine works for its size. Power per cylinder shows how much each one contributes.
By the numbers: specific output shows how hard an engine works for its size. Turbocharged engines usually win. Hybrids and EVs sit out the per-litre and per-cylinder ranks.
