Just In Time for Lunch – V8 Powered Blender

written by John Chow on November 17, 2008

Leave it to those nuts at Top Gear to come up with the world’s most powerful blender. Top Gear took the 430HP 6.2L V8 off a Corvette and used it to power a blender that can blend pretty much anything. Stuff that you normally wouldn’t consider blending, like a brick, turns to liquid really quick when you fire this baby up. It even comes with a gas pedal! Kinda puts my $600 Vita-mix to shame.

Gotta love top gear.

This is from yesterdays show. Do you guys in America / Canada get Top Gear?

I read a while back that the Americans were going to make their own version? :/

I wonder if the folks at Will It Blend will pick one up. Ha!

Kok Choon November 18, 2008 at 10:29 am: Truly Love top gear!

Jeremy always came up with crazy idea and make me laugh and roll over the ground! This is a classic!

We get Top Gear in Australia but it is the Brittish version…some of my friends absolutely love it

This is insane. Cool video.

Aldhis November 17, 2008 at 4:00 pm

How hungry are you to use a V8 machine for blender?
Anyway, I like the video.

Ryan McLean November 17, 2008 at 4:01 pm

This is extremely pointless and a waste of money…but really really cool.
I want one

John, very cool video! I’m hunkered down, trying to predict when buying begins again, how to position myself to profit from the turn-around down here in the USA.

DO NOT LET MICHAEL KWAN NEAR THIS BLENDER, I’m begging you !!!!!!

John, I just blogged about Sir Richard Branson, who is now following me on Twitter (!)

He recently launched a new book, ‘Business Stripped Bare’, and his advertising campaign was…well unique.

Here is the link to my blog: http://donotreadthisblogunless.blogspot.com/

with the link to the book release video at the bottom of my post.

John Chow November 17, 2008 at 4:25 pm: I could only imagine what would happen if Kwan go near that blender!

Good find. Thanks for the share.

wow a v8

Robin Majumdar November 17, 2008 at 5:13 pm

and how will this blender help us all make money online ? (other than perhaps making your Vita-Mix blender a tax deduction since I suppose it could (cough cough) be considered a review and as such… a business expense.

They drank it! I can’t believe they even put it up to their lips…

Watched this on TopGear on Sunday, great show! If it weren’t for the brick that was mushed up among the other bits and pieces I would have probably had a sip myself.
