Default 1913 fiat "beast of turin"

Amazing car runs again!


This MASSIVE old race car has a 1700+ cubic inch engine with only FOUR cylinders!!
That's over 425 cubic inches per cylinder!!
Good GRIEF, and I thought the Allison V-12 with the
1400+ cubic inch airplane engine was big!!
What a sound this huge beast makes as it fires directly out the side of the block
(no exhaust system whatsoever!) and there are several videos and
links to watch as this old "Beast of Turin" is brought back to life
after 100+ years! ENJOY!

Hi Everyone, Notice in the last overhead shot how the beast is trying to be a flathead?

Looks like she puked a little coolant.

I watched it with the sound off so don't know if anything was said....
