I love seeing those early race cars run again. There are a few each year at the Monterey Historics. But the place I really want to go is the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Lol, screw trying to hand crank that thing the handle could've ripped that guy a part. Crazy how in 100 years we've gone from 28 liters down to 2 in road cars for 300 hp.
"Built in 1911 to take the world’s fastest car title from the 21 liter “Blitzen Benz”, the Fiat S76 had a four cylinder engine with a bore of 7 1/2″ and stroke of 9 27/32″, for a total displacement of 1729 cubic inches. Its output was 300 hp at a thunderous 1800 rpm, enough to do the trick: 187 kmh (116 mph), a certified run at Saltburn, UK. A later run on the sandy flats of Ostende yielded 137 mph, but did not make the record books for lack of a return run. Contrary to popular myth, it was not an “airship engine”, although a later Fiat airship engine did use the same bore and stroke. Last but not least: Torque was rated at 2000 lb/ft."
