And in our Final Backfire segment, we bring you video of a very powerful Peugeot.

Based on a very wimpy Peugeot 205 hatchback, this FH Drag Team Invader Jet Car came to England’s famed Santa Pod dragstrip to show off how bright (and how noisy) its 1,000-hp Turbomeca Marbore turbojet engine is. As produced by VeeDubRacing, the YouTube video shows the little car showing off at the Flame & Thunder Show.
