Paul Newman once raced a 933bhp twin-turbo V8 Nissan 280ZX. Annoying, isn"t it? Not only was he impossibly cool on screen, he was also a bona fide racing driver and helmed many amazing things over his career. Like the Nissan. It was one of only three twin-turbo prototype V8 280ZX models built, pumping out a not inconsiderable 933bhp. He also raced a Triumph TR6 and, of course, a 1979 Porsche 935 at somewhere called Le Mans". Where he won his class and ranked second overall.
