That hissing sound doesn't sound like normal turbo spool. Sounds more to me like some sort of injection system, like maybe in intercooler sprayer or methanol or something. It only happens at WOT, you can hear the turbo spool and then that hissing sound.

That car looks like an absolute beast.

I wish more cars like that were made, I was hoping it would be something common that we could get ahold of easily here in the US.

Way to burst my bubble :P
