Badass Normal: All the other racers drive tricked out supercars full of crazy weapons and special features to give themselves any advantage they can get.He’s just that damn good, and he doesn’t need to be aggressive to win the race. Badass Driver: By default, as a character in this film, but he stands out compared to the others because he relies exclusively on his sheer driving skill, instead of weapons or tricks like the other racers.Even his upgraded Transam is revealed to have a tricycle-like design when Lynchman breaks its outer shell. Badass Biker: He owns a strange hoverbike that looks like a hybrid between a chopper and a Bōsōzoku custom motorcycle.Ambiguously Human: Due to his pointed ears and the fact that he wasn't given the introduction of being from "that blue planet" like Miki and Todoroki, it's unknown if he's human or simply an alien that looks very human.A pompadoured racer with a penchant for speed and crashing.

The main protagonist, driver of the Transam 2000.

The Redline 8 version retains most of the body style from it's previous form but the rear is it's unique design due to the engine being relocated to the rear. the taillights of the Yellowline model appear to modeled after a 1967 Shelby GT500 Ford Mustang. The Trans Am is styled with heavy inspiration from multiple F-body muscle cars of the late 1960s and early 1970s such Z28 Chevy Camaro and the Pontiac Firebird.Much later in the Redline race, the body of the car, a mere cosmetic shell for the actual vehicle, is ripped off, revealing a trike chassis and body underneath. The most powerful engine in the current world is the Wärtsilä RT-flex96C (107,390 hp) which weighs 2,300 tons and is meant for large container ships.Įquipment and abilities Trike Mode

So, on the last stretch of Redline, the Trans Am might have been making well over 350,000 horsepower. It wouldn't be to outlandish to believe that it would increase the base power by 10x, maybe even more than that. So while we can't pin down the exact power increase due to not knowing the power increase from a gold nitro. Then, near the end of the movie, they pop the Steamlight in, which is said: "to make 10 times more energy than a gold nitro". According to Frisbee, the engine makes 35,000 hp (which means it has 18 and a half times more horsepower than the Rimac C2 is to have). it also has a new rear-mounted engine and a fifth wheel mounted in front of the cab, between the headlights.

#Jp redline series#
Trans Am from the Yellow Max series 8 years prior to Yellowline Due to a bomb planted by the rear left wheel, the car crashed and was destroyed. It's implied it has already undergone extensive modification from the basic model to allow it to remain competitive by the time of the Yellowline race, and therefore it is effectively a unique vehicle by this point sporting a bright yellow paint scheme with white stripes with blue trim. Sweet JP's machine is a heavily customized Trans Am WR.
