Performa Racing P1 nitro engines

Performa Racing have introduced their new P1 3.5 nitro engines developed by IFMAR World Champion, Adrien Bertin. First up is the Nitro 3 engine, a 3 port power plant that combines excellent fuel efficiency and run time with the traditional aggressive bottom end and strong mid through top end of a 3 port design. Made with weekly racing in mind the engine is ideal for both buggies and trucks. The second new engine is the P1 Radical 3 that provides a smooth, linear power band with strong bottom through top end. Excellent run time makes this engine ideal for buggy racers that like a smooth engine with power on tap at all times. Last but not least comes the Radical P1 7 port engine that provides tremendous torque with exceptional top end. A linear power band makes it very drivable despite the insane power of the 7 port design – ideal for buggy or truggy racing on large tracks. The engines will become available by mid-March with Performa Racing also offering specially tuned, prepared, and run-in engines carried out by Adrien himself.
