Red Victor 2

Red Victor 2 is a 1972 Vauxhall Victor owned by British mechanic Andy Frost. Frost purchased the car in 1981 and began customizing it as a hobby; it has since become what is believed to be the fastest street legal car in the world, and now boasts 2,100 bhp.

The car was previously named the Red Victor one, until an extra turbo was added.
