600 horses!!!

It it just me, doesn't it look more and more like a Formula 1 car?

Now that is some serious diesel power...

Erik, no you're not. It's going in that direction... But it looks good, very good.

The R10 ran under different rules, 2009 rules give diesels less boost and a smaller restrictor compared to 2008 rules.
