That’s *peak* torque, in a car that weighs less than the power seats in a modern car. I recall journalists being caught out by the wild power delivery in period.

Indeed, recording over earlier footage on the USB stick could be construed as destroying evidence, so they can claim civil forfeiture of the car and sell it off.
