In today's video, we're exploring new grounds on "The Turbo Rocket", where we review this fantastic funk record from 1971: Funk Inc.'s self-titled debut album, "Funk Inc.". This band is kinda forgotten, probably since they haven't released a new album in over 30 years, but they definitely deserve to be remembered for their seamless soul-funk grooviness and jazzy virtuosity. Thank you for watchi...

In this video, we take a '94 Detomaso Pantera "Si" to Mettet Circuit in Belgium. This particular "Si" is the only one of the 38 built to be turned into racecar, and it managed to win the '95 BRDC National Champioship (UK) while raced by the ADA team, driven by the legendary Andy Wallace and Thorklind Thyrring. After 20 years in hibernation, she's finally able to strech her legs and put that glo...

At the 1968 Marathon de la Route, an unknown Japanese brand that had recently shifted from making corks to building cars, arrived at the Palais des Princes Evêques, Liège, Belgium for scrutineering. Amongst the 911s and the Fulvias, were these two, white, spaceship-looking machines, powered by a 10A, twin-rotor Wankel engine, something unprecedented up until that day. The cars were the brand ne...

For the 10th video on the channel, we have the 60s rock legends, Canned Heat, showing us what Woodstock '69 was like... in 2023! Drummer Fito de la Parra, the only surviving member of the original lineup, alongside Dale Spalding (vocals, harmonica, guitar), Jimmy Vivino (vocals, guitar), and Rick Reed (bass) really made us feel the true essence of rock n' roll that August night at Lessines, Bel...

Welcome to another Turbo Rocket quickie, and here we have a video from 2018 I just HAD to find and share with you. Today, we take a short look at a very rare and special Pontiac. This isn't your average Bonneville wagon, because it was custom ordered with a plethora of rare, high performance and exterior options. It's pretty much as loaded as it gets. The three-tone paint, is composed mainly of...

In today's video, we're checking out the most exclusive and most expensive BMW ever built: the 2023 3.0 CSL. Based on the CSL Hommage of 2015 and approved for production in 2020, the 3.0 CSL is a concept car for the street. As an anniversary gift to themselves to celebrate the 50 years since BMW Motorsport was created, only 50 cars will be built alongside the new M4 GT4. The powertrain, chassis...

Here's a quick video from a few years back, cruising with a friend in his '62 Jaguar E-Type 3.8. This is the purest one of the E-Types, powered by the XK 3.8 lt twin cam straight-six, putting out around 265 hp, when new. The XK engine first appeared in the XK120 in 1948, making it the fastest production car at the time with a top speed of 193 kph, when cars could barely do 80 kph without rattli...

Here's a quick tour and a couple of revs of an RS6, right at the dealership floor. With a 630 hp, 4.0 lt twin-turbo V8 and a monstrous 850 N-m of torque, you're guaranteed to never arrive late to school, if not a bit earlier than usual. This particular car has a color shifting, Audi Exclusive "Pearl Effect" paint job, which is either black or navy blue, depending on the light conditions. It's a...

In this video, we check out one of Audi’s modern blessings to the car world: the Audi RS7. The current version is based on the second generation of the A7 and is obviously the top-of-the-range model. It’s powered by a 4.0 litre, twin-turbo V8 pushing 630 hp @6000 rpm, and max torque of an insane 850 N-m @4500 rpm. Add to that the legendary Quattro AWD system, and you get a 0-100 kph time of 3.5...

This video is a compilation of many fantastic track cars we saw @Mettet Circuit in Belgium. Among the cars in the video is the ADA Detomaso Pantera, the last Detomaso racecar and winner of the '95 BPR GT Championship, fresh off its 20-year restoration. There's a VW Golf Mk4 with AWD and a VR6, and we also get to go for a ride in a Peugeot 205 GTi with a 2.0 turbo swap and 250 hp! Thanks and I h...

Welcome to The Turbo Rocket's first video! On this beautiful sunny Saturday, I got to experience my first track day, at Mettet Circuit in Belgium. Even though I had arrived in the rare and unique ADA Detomaso Pantera race car and its team, the little Pug sparked my curiosity from the moment I heard the choo-choo turbo noises coming out of a naturally aspirated car. I had to investigate. Turns-o...
