  • Manfred Schulte has built, raced and developed through the years a very special Citroen AX powered by a Citroen C2 S1600 engine, capable here of around 250Hp/9.800Rpm.
    Thanks to its low weight of around 780Kg and use of a sequential gearbox and among a whole host of aerodynamic changes, this "pocket rocket" has been consistently one of the fastest cars in the 1600cc Class of the highly competitive Berg-Cup series.

    the screaming 1.6L and the gearbox whine combined
    amazing driving skills and for a 780kg car it pretty stable even when braking and hard cornering
    nice video

      some years ago i had saxo vts supercharged with 185 hp and standard weight of 1000 kilos. If you believe or not, i dont care, he was faster 120-220 than bmw m3 e36 3.2 or bmw m3 e46. also my friends S2000 had no chance etc.
      because supercharched and short gears... it was possible drive with 5.th gear hill up, put gas to the bottom and he just acceleration quickly. funny was a friends corrado g60 with chiptuning and shorter ration of g lader.... he hated saxo because his corrado... was... soooo... slow in comparsion. 0 confort, 0 space, stupid clutch, break, gaspedal position... but had so much fun with that saxo. then sold it to a friend because my driver licence was in dangerous every day with that saxo😂

      @@HillClimbMonsters i am talking about stock cars mate, and i did notice this was quite recent, have you ever drove an ax gti? Featherlike car, does not brake at all, like the vw g40, fiat uno turbo i.e.,corrado g60, 90's cars. Too much torque for the weight itself. I am quite young only 31 but i've driven some sick cars(tuned) and the ax was one of those that made me release the foot 😂.

    Very smart looking build. But you have to question the 250 hp claimed. It just does not get out of the corner like it should with a real 250hp engine. Unless thats the No. they achieved on the dyno at the top of the rpm gange, but the torque curve was still climbing sharply untill that point?

    • @oscarzt1652
      @oscarzt1652 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      250hp isnt unachievable from a 1.6 DOHC, especially as it revs to 9800rpm.
      but yes on these types of engines you really do have to use all of the revs to get the most out of them

      Ricardo Gomes Yes it was group A "Kit car" development we were working on. On a different note; we did just to see where things would start to fail.
      Using the kit engine parts except for cams with more lift ( more area under the curve) The head was not group A as it had bigger valves. 46mm throttle bodies with an 8 injector set up. We used to get a regular 250+ bhp on the dyno. Which is more than the BDD cosworth formula atlantic makes on a Lucas flat slide inj. system
