Big car engine
Big car engine
Built in the winter of 1910/11 by Fiat to take on the Blitzen Benz, it featured a four cylinde 28.3 litre engine (190x250mm). Two of these cars were built. Number 1 was purchased by the Russian Prince Boris Soukhanov late 1911, but after the Russian revolution it went to Australia where it was fitted with a Stutz engine until it was crashed in 1924. Number 2 was retained by Fiat, but was scrapped in 1920, only the engine being kept.

Not that powerful, but then this was pretty much Pioneering times.

I've always liked the Lanz Bulldog. 10 litre, 2-stroke, 1 cylinder.
It plays music.

Re: Big car engine
That is the best idle ever!! Love it!
Re: Big car engine
Close! Close. Definitely a candidate. But for me the best idle award goes to this Ford GAA (I think?) from a Sherman:tao wrote:That is the best idle ever!! Love it!

This is the infamous 'Beast of Turin', and she's still running. I apologize for any damage caused to your speakers...
