The high-powered motor wowed fans with its high-speed antics, including topping 50mph in the snow.

Gadget whizz Colin Furze claimed a Guinness World Record on the device in 2010 when he hit a “wicked” 71.59mph.
The pro stuntman, from Stamford, Lincolnshire, gave supporters a glimpse of the scooter in action on his YouTube channel.
In the clip, he can be seen speeding through snowy fields on the racing green-coloured vehicle.
Powered by a 125cc engine out of a motocross bike, it is surprisingly nimble as well as being rapid.
Colin whooped and cheered with delight as he flew across the idyllic landscape.
Although, he did stop along the way to do some doughnuts.
Describing the drive to the BBC back in 2015, he said: “I’ve often said to people if you want to turn heads don’t buy a Ferrari, pimp a mobility scooter up.
“It’s an experience.
“These things have been designed to turn around in a shopping aisle so the steering is quite responsive.
“You have to keep it dead straight.”
The vehicle certainly made an impression on his viewers, too.
One joked: “The line between mad and genius is very thin.”
Another added: “After watching some videos of his channel I can’t believe this man is still alive.”
Sadly, Colin’s record has subsequently been broken by rival speed-demons.
Danish inventor Klaus Nissen hit 82.67mph in 2012, before David Anderson and Matthew Hine from the Isle of Man broke the 100mph barrier for the first time in 2016.
The current record stands at a whopping 112mph, set by German Sven Ogler in 2017.
It comes after a set of five supercars worth over £500,000 was stolen in a light-night racetrack heist.
