Just weeks ago, HPS wowed spectators as they exhibited their second-generation supercharger system at the Rim of the World Rally in Lancaster, California. The HPS CLK500 was on hand in the Crawford-I-Speed booth outside Poppy Pavilion.
But the supercharged and intercooled CLK500 didn't just sit by motionless looking pretty. HPS decided to put on a show at Team Blew's autocross event, churning almost 500 horsepower into the pavement as the car slid from one turn to the next.

In addition, the car shut down Crawford-I-Speed's dynopack, which in two-wheel-drive mode only supports 400 ft-lbs of wheel torque. Stay tuned for video of the dyno event!
