I don't see how this could be street-legal anywhere but in Siberia... but I thoroughly approve. 👍

One way of getting rid of people who follow you too closely!

Anyone know why the flames are blue? Most exhaust flames I've seen previously are typically more yellow in colour... is using some sort of special fuel or additive?

I'm guessing Nitrous.

Nope. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flame

The blue flame is more likely a result of a cleaner burn of the fuel. If you read into the first post, there is a set of valves on the exhaust that cut the noise down to make it more streetable. The backpressure from the valves probably results in a much cleaner burn of unburnt fuel.

Apparently the Spyker C8 will do that from the factory...

Fluid Motor Union does great work, and all the pics of this car are awesome. I think they did a twin turbo on a different gallardo. And the SRT10 ram they did was possibly the most mean truck I have ever seen.

I wouldn't say it was the backpressure... it's just a cleaner burn, overall. Well-tuned cars emit a bluish flame on backfire... if it's yellowish, it's usually a turbocharged car... sometimes with anti-lag, that's pouring unburnt fuel out the exhaust like whiskey down a bar-fly's throat...
