The Beast of Turin trailer


from stefan marjoram


Quick compilation of clips showing some of the build and first firing of the FIAT S76 land speed record car in 100 years. At over 28 litres this was the biggest of the pre WW1 monsters (and the biggest car engine ever built) - engine design changed a lot thereafter. The proper film will cover the history of this exciting period and tell the amazing story of its rebirth after 100 years.

ONE Cylinder is bigger that a 427 V-8

*Updated* “The Beast of Turin Revisited”, the Fiat S.76 racing car

These engines if the specifications we found are correct, turn out to have a bore and stroke of very close to 7 1/2″ x 9 27/32″ (19.0 cm x 25.0 cm ). That works out to 1729 c.i. total or 432 c.i. per cylinder which is bigger than most big V-8 engines in total. You can take a quick look back on previous coverage here on The Old Motor showing many S.76 photos and other information, including an incredible ongoing effort to reconstruct a Fiat S.76 from an S.76 racing engine that came from Fiat and other parts that have survived.

So much room in the seating area to allow for the big clanking man parts of someone who would drive that at +100mph on the freakin wet roads you see in that second vic that shows this beast doing it's thing. .
