Lol I thought you were smoking some of that burnt rubber but it sure does look like the front tyres are burning rubber doesn't it.

Thought the same, burnout smoke clearly coming from the rears from the rear angle.. then they show a side on angle and it looks like smoke billowing out the fronts. I'm sure the fronts are locked but that wouldn't come anywhere near close to accounting for the amount of smoke. It looks like the fronts are dropping a burnout.

That would be nice. I wouldn't have to worry about pulling the jetskis out on a sandy ramp any more.

I'm sure the boys at KPM (or someone else) would have let the cat out of the bag if it were true.

Nonetheless, as Lukeyson mentioned, interesting indeed

Well if you press play and pause quickly you can see the front wheel spinning very fast for its moving speed. What ever it is I want one!

Nearly fell out of my seat..

Did a google search for "awd ford gt" and the top result is something about a "S700 AWD Ford GT"....

It's the American model based on the GT40 Supercar lol...

Edit... it could be something from a computer game as well???

You will see with a lot of modern cars that do burnouts the smoke travels along the inside of the sideskirts and along the sills and often comes out near the front wheels making the car look AWD..

This clubsport comes to our show in Kandos and does the same thing.

If it was AWD thankfully it wouldn't sit there and do that. It would be up up and awaaaaay.

I bet its got something to do with the sidepipes, with the amount of exhaust being pumped out it may be creating a scavaging effect (i think that the right term?) thats sucking the smoke under the car.

There was an Audi Quattro of some sort in Europe running 50+ psi of boost, custom everything and well over 1000 hp from memory, and it would smoke all 4 265's like nothing.

Thats not the one, it was an older quattro, can't remember which model though. Early 90's maybe. It was in Zoom magazine years ago.
