The Cutlass Supreme, a car which hails from the Oldsmobile company and with its roots traceable back to the start of the 60s, is a legend from another century.
For the time being, General Motors doesn’t see fit to bring the Supreme name back from the dead but i if it did, chances are it would come attached to an EV.
This drag racer, from the video below, is on film thanks to YouTube channel Malcom2004 who is always seemingly at the right place at the right time and today gives us a glimpse of the Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme turned up to 11 – with the help of a little magic juice.
The Custom Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Drag Racer Is A Sight To Behold
This car is a fourth-generation Cutlass Supreme model and is one of those car designs that just takes you back to a certain time, where the world was a different place and gasoline cost a different amount of money.
All those moons ago, in the 80s this was a range-topper car and could come with a wide variety of V8 engines, as well as a 6-cylinder and even diesel power – but this car uses a different type of power.
It uses gas and something called nitrous – something viewers of The Fast And The Furious franchise will remember.
There are no details regarding its peak power output but don’t worry; it is a huge number and the resulting starts in this drag race are all the proof that we need.
The Fastest Drag Racer From The 80s With The Help Of Nitrous
As the subheading alludes to, the Cutlass Supreme is faster than a McLaren F1 hypercar: but there are no quarter-mile times here in this series or races.
With the lion’s share happening under artificial light, the car gleams as it gracefully heads to the trap at the end, with all the force of a freight train.
It’s visibly extremely quick, the parachute, modified front end and wheels give the game away along with the noise.
It sounds like the devil at a standstill with the choppy V8 rattling under the hood and under full load the sound transforms into Beelzebub himself – check out the video for some quick-getaway action and the brief return of a 80s legend.
