This year's winner, Romain Dumas was driving a:
Norma M20 (610kg)
Honda K20 (2.0l) based
4 cyl, 16 valve
Turbocharged
~450hp

but he did not beat Seb Loeb's 2013 record. That on was big money and its gonna be very hard to beat.

That electric is impressive, nice accelerations. Driver is conservative it seems, i cannot hear the tires getting to the limit, and he steps out of the curves quite late it seems - though he mentions the engine stopped 4 times, and i could be mistaken by the camera angle... In any case i want to be able to drive like him when i am 64 too.
