Those little 12A's are so much fun. I will have to add one to my collection eventually.

Since when did the FC have a 12A? I thought the last 12A turbo was used in the FB (in Asia only). After 1985, the 12A wasn't used anymore. The FC, shown in the video, came out in 1986.

Nice catch... I have to admit that I skipped past the talking to see the driving. I was thinking that was the best sounding 12A I've heard...

The first car introduced with the 20B broke an alternator going off track in what I'm assuming was a warm up run. They introduced the other car as its twin, except it "only" had the 12A.
