Want to see Scott live-tune this beast? Let us know in the comments! Powered by a Ferrari V12 and looking like a toned-down version of an early 2000s Formula 1 car, the Zacaria SC is also street-registered! Because when you've finished building your dream car you'll want to drive it around and see people's reactions, of course. Zac's creation is nothing short of incredible and well worth an entire episode of "Anatomy of Speed".
This is extremely cool and exquisitely made 👌 Interesting though that he chose a v12 and the outer body design closer to the current 2022 cars, given his love of and inspiration from the mid 2000’s cars.
What an amazing car to be able to stretch the Nexus’s legs on! Great seeing the full gearbox, engine, traction and much more all being controlled in one place.
Adding exhaust inside the rear diffuser will only stall it’s aero out. If they were going for a pseudo drag reduction system it’s perfect, otherwise that is not how one builds a blown diffuser
isnt the exhaust at a higher velocity though?? even though its introducing volume momentarily the pressure drop it creates in front of the absent exhaust section should help the floor work harder.
@@azimpetra true only because of the regulations, we are more discussing the physics of it. Also the "modern" Era had blown diffusers but they blew the sides to prevent tire squirt from entering
You don't get linear air flow out of a diffuser in the real world anyway, and if the exhaust is moving fast enough it will actually lower the pressure and help empty the diffuser. It's a bit counter intuitive.
@@kantina4765 F1 cars are about 20% lighter. But they are massive, have a big battery, crash structures on all sides. The halo alone weighs what? 15kg?!
@@leoa4c my point was that this guy whoever he is doesn’t have a 50 million dollar budget for this car. So of course it’s going to be heavy. It has a v12 and it’s not made out of Carbon fiber Magnesium and 3d printed titanium. Don’t forget inconel.
I'll be honest, I wasn't going to click this vid because I wasn't sure I would actually enjoy it. But bloody hell was I wrong, what a marvel of a project, just when you think you've heard it all out comes the sequential w/paddle shift 😅 Engineering masterpiece.
@@phuzz00 Oh for sure, and as a passion project it's incredible, I just thought given the time and effort put in mechanically they wouldn't want to gimp the aerodynamics of such a cool project
Not to mention the ram air intake which leads to nowhere, the front wing which isnt a wing, the dual element wing which doesnt function and the massive holes cut out of the rear wings lower element. Bit dissapointing that so much time was put into everything but the aero.
Freakin amazing. Really hope I will get to make something myself sometime? Won't be anything of this caliber, but I'm hoping to use something like a H1 V8, mid mount under a flat bed with a similar front end to the American "Sportstar", with a single central seat.
Goddamn legend Scottie. Only you could make that machine even better than it already is. I honestly only watch your/Haltech stuff now, I dont even check in with the MCM channel, which is where I discovered your mountain of knowledge.
I heard this engine briefly once when a Ferrari nailed it down the road like 100 meters away from me. Its a ridiculous glorious sound. The videos sadly dont come even close to what it really sounds like.
This is cool but those intake manifolds kill it, he should make a revision with ITBs so the engine cover fits without those cutouts and the airbox is can be functional.
@@haltech Okay, thanks anyway (not gonna guess who's answering to me today 😂). I figured it was a fair question to ask, as most people would be like "Yeah right this is street legal" like sheep about this car like they do to roughly 95% of street cars here. 🤷
What an amazing car to be able to stretch the Nexus’s legs on! Great seeing the full gearbox, engine, traction and much more all being controlled in one place.
Zac let my 10 year old son start this and give it some throttle blips recently… mind blowing on many levels!!! Great rundown on haltech’s involvement with the build!
Build your own F1 style car and get it road legal and registered in Australia. That is miles ahead of most dreamers. The Percentage or people that could pull of a project like that would would start like, point zero.zero,zero,zero, something of car builders, and add to that it's hand formed from Ally, and finished raw......And that's only the start of it.....
Depending on the weight of those Dub wheels... if they are light then 100% perfect like this is an engineering Creamsicle. If they are just for a look (his personal taste), this car is 90% epic for me. No one asked, I know, but just my $0.02 anyway. Freaking awesome.
Scott you guys need to look into this elite 2500 with spark and pencil problems burning up ignition modules after working perfectly fine. Am having the same problem again everything new and falling edge, fuses car works fine for month with miss fire on number three sorted out by unplugging coils and then plugging them back in ran on all four for two days then stopped dead no spark! Fed up now mate this is the fourth time it has done this surely a software problem for bmw pencil coils.
Is the Nexus R5 able to control an automated gearbox which clutch is actuated by an controller? I'm hinting at the first generation of Smart respectively the Smart Roadster.
Nice build, but I have a hard time believing those tiny air filters are not imposing an restriction to air flow, holding back an engine that should make north of 485 kW...
To much time and to much money on this blokes hands I think lol 😆 great build but for the amount of time and effort and money it’s a build of passion and good on him for that’s his built what he wanted so congratulations on doing that as I think that’s what life’s about is going after those things you want no madder the price
Great project. Just an idea for the transmission control, if you put an ON/OFF button for neutral, I think it would be a little bit safer, just in case someone accidentally touches the gear pad for too long. Cheers!

Lovely bit of work but I have to ask why it's all bolted together with stuff that looks like it came from a tractor workshop some proper Allen bolts and k nuts would have done a lot for the looks.
This is an incredible build. Personally, I'd be too afraid to drive it though. anything other than f1 type cars would just run you over, at least install a proper roll cage.
like to know more about the gear shifting - sounded like an air system? is there an onboard pump and tank for that - wouldn't a solenoid be lighter or aren't they strong enough?

yes please
OH HELL YES!!! go into detail too !
Yes yes yes
YEEEEEEEEEESSSSS!
It's not or ever will be Road Legal
This has to be coolest thing haltech has ever done. Massive congratulations to everyone involved.
Epic build! Great choice going with the F140 V12. Noise, revs & power curve... perfect race engine
This is extremely cool and exquisitely made 👌

Couldn't agree more!

Older blown diffuser is like that. Not the modern RedBull era
@@azimpetra true only because of the regulations, we are more discussing the physics of it. Also the "modern" Era had blown diffusers but they blew the sides to prevent tire squirt from entering
Agree. That would destroy the air flow. You want clean air that sticks to the diffuser surface. That would cause chaos to the air turbulence.
You don't get linear air flow out of a diffuser in the real world anyway, and if the exhaust is moving fast enough it will actually lower the pressure and help empty the diffuser. It's a bit counter intuitive.
The wheel covers need painting satin black . That would really bring the look around .
100%
Seams like a given....
i mean, i think if you buy one you could choose the color
@@DeiranB
Dumbest comment of the day goes too . .
Hey ... isn't it unreasonable to get the wheels covered like that. F1 cars aren't made in that way.
Awesome Scott would love to see it on the Dyno.
There's a video of it on the dyno in this video
1050kg for a single seater? That's not light.
shockingly not that much heavier than the current formula one cars in relative terms
@@kantina4765 F1 cars are about 20% lighter. But they are massive, have a big battery, crash structures on all sides. The halo alone weighs what? 15kg?!
@@leoa4chow much is a F1 car again?
@@mikelmarion It is more expensive than a gen 2 Lotus Elise, definitely.

Engineering masterpiece.
I’ve seen this car in person, very very cool & sounds great!
They will have a HELL of a time getting that regoed and keeping it regoed in NSW.
Bit of a shame none of the aero is actually functional.
Great work, very clear and informative without being boring. Really enjoyed this video.
Some questionable aerodynamic choices here, the valve cover area being exposed is going to generate so much turbulence upstream of that rear wing
That 'blown diffuser' is going to stall out too
By the sound of it, it was hand-built by two blokes in a shed, I'm guessing they didn't get much wind-tunnel time ;)
@@phuzz00 Oh for sure, and as a passion project it's incredible, I just thought given the time and effort put in mechanically they wouldn't want to gimp the aerodynamics of such a cool project

They did a Road Legal, F1 version of Speed Racers' Mach 6? And it looks Amazing?
What a build...... I can't get over the ECU, that's next level shit right there, like OEM level stuff. Amazing.
This thing is nuts wtf, childhood drawing of a car come to life.
Freakin amazing.
Really hope I will get to make something myself sometime?
Won't be anything of this caliber, but I'm hoping to use something like a H1 V8, mid mount under a flat bed with a similar front end to the American "Sportstar", with a single central seat.
I think this builder needs to work at an F1 factory 😅 he's that good
Needs to good livery. Car would look much better!
I wonder who dented that front right wheel cover
those hand worked aluminium body panels are a work of art.
MAN!!! I wanna do something like this so damn bad
proper hybrid f1 💀 but home made 🎉🎉🎉🎉 😮
Shut it down guys, this series has peaked.
F1 cars should look like this in 2022.
What a fantastic V 12 dream car. Kudos the incredible engineering vision. Great presentation too. On the bucket list as my next track day car 😜😜

Finally someone did it
If Scotty fits, just about anyone is going to fit.
Scotty doesn’t actually fit
HOLYSHIT!
Thank you, TH-cam recommendations 🥰
I saw this thing in the wild, around the Campbell Town area. Can confirm, it sounds spectacular
This is cool but those intake manifolds kill it, he should make a revision with ITBs so the engine cover fits without those cutouts and the airbox is can be functional.
I'd like to see f1 cars in 2026 look like this concept, it is gonna look futurustic but tighter and more simmilar to mid 2000's cars...
This is the biggest 🖕 to the NSW RMS I've ever seen...
And I absolutely LOVE it for that reason. 😂👍
Is this being built under ICV rules? 🤔
Not sure but Zac somehow managed to get a limited rego for his Batmobile so we reckon he'll do a similar thing with the Zacaria too.
@@haltech Okay, thanks anyway (not gonna guess who's answering to me today 😂). I figured it was a fair question to ask, as most people would be like "Yeah right this is street legal" like sheep about this car like they do to roughly 95% of street cars here. 🤷
What a beast congrats 👏
2000s Formula 1 cars weights quite a bit less, 605kg minimum weight to be exact
Incredibly impressive!
I thought the Caparo T1 was the first F1 inspired street car? 🤷🏿♂️
Scotty Cross built a chopper for World Biker Build off, he came in 2nd if I remember.
What an amazing car to be able to stretch the Nexus’s legs on!
Great seeing the full gearbox, engine, traction and much more all being controlled in one place.
That steering rack is a big no, it gives you a ton of bump steer
Why ? BTW - Great acting in "Home alone" -Daniel 🤣
scott he mentioned was in the biker build off US vs UK vs AUS?
love it but god dam that nose is a face only a mother could love XD its crazy what people can build now
What in gods earth is this beast.!
Its a F1 car with ferrari headphones, bet the induction is awsome
No way thats road legal that'd slice someone into pieces if it hit someone 🤣 extremely cool though 😎
Can I say that it looks ugly and aerodynamically undeveloped?
Great car. Sucks it’s a 6speed sequential. Should have went with a modern Dsg. 7 or 9 speed. Or a 8hp 0r the 10l80
8hp not fitting in it that's nearly the length of the engine😭
Zac let my 10 year old son start this and give it some throttle blips recently… mind blowing on many levels!!!
Great rundown on haltech’s involvement with the build!
Ha that must have made his day! Zac is a really cool, down to earth dude and he does loads of kids charity events in his batmobile.
Needs matte black wheel guards so it looks like it has open wheel slicks.
I dont know if i love it or hate it...the fake aero is just...off-putting
be carefull with that batmoble people get sued for making them
That air scoop looks like a thong trying to conceal Ferrari lady bits.
Thank you!! This is Great and a very informative!

How does it ride? That's what I have been waiting for.
This should be a heavy weight F1 category
😍that thing is AWESOME
Brilliant, just brilliant
That is stunning and a proper V12 🤤🤤🤤🤤, its better looking than today's new F1 cars ..👏👏👏👌👌👌
Work af art and dammmm those headers 🤤🤤🤤❤️
Not a fan of the front wing and the fake intake. Other than that, it's brilliant!
Depending on the weight of those Dub wheels... if they are light then 100% perfect like this is an engineering Creamsicle. If they are just for a look (his personal taste), this car is 90% epic for me.
No one asked, I know, but just my $0.02 anyway. Freaking awesome.
That's going to be an aerodynamic nightmare.
wanna se it on the DYNO DYNO DYNO !!!!!!!! DYNO DYNO DYNO

Have you tried contacting our Tech Support? support@haltech.com
Even NASCAR has unilug wheels!
See Scott tune it ❓ We wanna see him STREET TUNE it ❗
Did the builder have to retain the AWD system from the FF, or was it a choice ?
👍👍
Is the Nexus R5 able to control an automated gearbox which clutch is actuated by an controller? I'm hinting at the first generation of Smart respectively the Smart Roadster.
If they can do the Caterham, the Mono BAC, and similar style cars.. so why not this F1 inspired car!!!
Nice build, but I have a hard time believing those tiny air filters are not imposing an restriction to air flow, holding back an engine that should make north of 485 kW...
what is that roofscoop for if the intakes are on the outside?
The ultimate vehicle doesn't exi.........
Dope as Tuning Fork!!!

Nobody should mind the very loose definition of what's street legal applied on this machine. It's been blessed by the Gods of Speed!
Wonder what Ferrari thinks about this
Amazing build. The only thing that kills me is the wheels. Those design really dont suit a formula style racecar.
Does the car actually start and run ???
siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick!
Like the idea and engine, though the aluminum and tiny design details I could do without. Freakin amazing job though.
Lovely bit of work but I have to ask why it's all bolted together with stuff that looks like it came from a tractor workshop some proper Allen bolts and k nuts would have done a lot for the looks.
Was the ECU not capable of running the direct injection setup? The port injection setup seems a bit out of place on that engine.
This is an incredible build. Personally, I'd be too afraid to drive it though. anything other than f1 type cars would just run you over, at least install a proper roll cage.
Looks super fast while standing still... I cant imagine how it feels to drive this beast!
Looks like a f1 car from the future
Need those buttons on the steering wheel.
One of One, do not see it going anywhere.
Scott, you're like 7 feet tall, you sitting down next to my Starlet would look the same lol
That look on his face at the end… car guys know that look is just like a work from Da Vinci.. sheesh 🥵

Scott youre the GOAT
HOW DO I GET ONE?
I'M BATMAN!
1000kg? jeez thats fat
