Hyperdrive is the "ultimate test of man, woman, and machine," as the series' host describes it. And as far as the rules of the game go, each competitor shows up to the track with their own custom-built machine with the goal of getting through a series of challenging obstacles faster than the others.
Brittany's ride is a 2008 Nissan 350Z with 270 horsepower, which we quickly learn is nowhere near "as much power as the other cars" in the game. In an interview with USA Today, Brittany admitted that she was worried about her car and how it would compare with those of the other 27 drivers.
"My car is pretty slow compared to most competition-based cars," she said. "That was one of my biggest worries going into the series. I wasn't sure that power was going to be a really big issue for me." While commentators are skeptical when they see Brittany's car, an obstacle where drivers must race through water quickly highlights the Nissan 350Z's benefits.
"That's the advantage of having a street car instead of having a true race car," they say when they see Brittany fly through the water. "This is a converted street car so her engine is prepared for the elements," they add.
