It took months for John Tanaka, one of Rebar’s chief engineers, to put together a prototype that could get close to Pepe Coney’s vision. Dubbed the G-Diffusion system, the network of ailerons an maneuverability jets would spin the car unexpectedly and propel it in short powerful bursts until gravity eventually reasserted itself.
Getting the vehicle, dubbed the Arfling, into the air was more difficult. John and Pepe settled on a more mundane approach — drive the vehicle as hard and as fast as possible until the inevitable loss of control sent it airborne, then trigger the G-Diffusion system and let her soar.
It was reckless. It was dangerous. And it was expensive. Too expensive.
Pepe agreed to drive the Arfling as a member of Rebar Customs’ racing team and direct most of his share of any winnings to cover the cost of the build.
The G-Diffusion system has won more than one Death Race at this point, but Pepe still has a long way to go to cover his debt. He doesn’t mind, though. Not as long as he gets to do a barrel roll.
