Meet the fastest car to wear the famous Griffin badge. Based on a 1967 Vauxhall Victor FD, the newly-built drag car features a highly tuned 8.8-litre twin turbocharged GM V8 that produces 3,000bhp. And it’s still street legal!

Called Red Victor 3, the car will make its debut at this Bank Holiday weekend’s VXR Power Festival at Silverstone, and will make its competition debut in next season’s MSA Pro-Modified Drag Racing season.

When complete, Red Victor 3’s creator, Andy Frost, claims it should be capable of sprinting from 0-240mph in 6.5 seconds.
