A few months ago I posted a short video on the rebuilding and restoration of this monster. The “Beast of Turin” was a car built by Fiat in 1911 to beat the land speed record. It did, with a speed of 116 m.p.h. which was pretty amazing in 1911. The only way to do it though, back then, was through displacement. Making the engine bigger. So this is a four cylinder, 28.5 liter engine. 28.5 LITERS!!! Only four cylinders! Listen to this thing go, it’s terrifying.
