Although we like to think of ourselves as a fairly capable bunch, we're certainly not above fanboying over some of the incredible builds and the people behind them that can be found out there on the internet. One example is Josh Valman and his incredible Alfa Romeo unlimited hillclimb build, which can be found on Instagram at @motorsport_engineering.

Josh and Andre sit down to talk about the absolutely insane Alfa build, which runs an 850hp twin-turbo Hayabusa V8 from Hartley Engines – the amount of actual Alfa parts can be counted on one hand, which gives you an idea for just how intense this car is.

Although Josh has no specific motorsport training – in fact, this is the first car he's ever built – he has an extensive engineering background that stretches back to his tween years when he was a contestant on the Battlebots TV show. This goes a long long way in explaining just why the Alfa build is so intensely built and well designed.

Andre and Josh also discuss the pros and cons of CAD and FEA, the importance of failure in the learning process, and much more. This would have to be one of our favourite episodes yet, so if you're interested in engineering and automotive design, as well as motorsport electronics and data, then this is the perfect episode for you.
