Sarabjit drove the car from New York City to Vancouver, a distance of 8050 km in 16 days. The car was hand-built by Sarabjit.[1]

Engine

Sarabjit used the engine from a Honda Goldwing as the gas side of the drivetrain. The engineering of the electrical side is unknown.

Current status

The car is housed in Sarabjit's garage. It still runs.[1]
