The engine is a 28 litre 4 cylinder, purpose-built for the car. They later based an airship engine on it but it's quite different when you look at the details. It had plenty of power - 300hp at 1,000rpm and 2,000 lb/ft torque! It set a record for the flying mile at Saltburn - 116 mph in less than perfect conditions. They tried again at Ostende and possibly reached 137mph but didn't manage to set a return run.stefan marjoramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13519678379176594396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37353682.post-33076598882913523302011-01-29T10:11:36.313-08:002011-01-29T10:11:36.313-08:00The Beast of Turin is being recreated!
