First test of the complete drivetrain
In this episode of The Meteor Interceptor we are running the first test of the complete drivetrain. We have worked hard since the first engine start back in June 2021 and now it is time to test that everything works as it should. We hope that you will enjoy this video, and please don't forget to subscribe so that you don't miss any new updates!

This is one of if not the most crazy ideas any automotive enthusiasts ever hatched in a brännvin-haze night at a local bar Sweden, never change... Hyped to see more of this monstrosity, never stop being crazy

I find it quite strange that the Americans did not come up with this idea yet🤔. I mean, they have quite a lot of tanks and their engines, so probably easy to get parts and do crazy engine-swaps. I simply wonder why they don't.

Because as amazing as this build is from an engineering perspective, to a lot of people it's just another naff American barge. Would be a lot more exciting putting a Meteor or Merlin in a more interesting car. Sorry guys, you have done an awesome job though... I wish I had even half the know how to do what you've done here.
