Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Duncan Pittaway made history today by firing up one of the largest-engined 4 cylinder cars ever built which was constructed by Fiat for a Land Speed Record attempt in 1911.This is the first time anyone has heard or seen this monster in action in over 100 years ! The heroic project has been a challenge of monumental proportions and the success is a huge credit to Duncan and his team who have triumphed over a multitude of difficulties during the last twelve years.
The stories of the original LSR attempts over 100 years ago are legendary and reported elsewhere but here is a brief specification of the car:
28.4 litres, 4 cylinder Land Speed Record car. 1911. 290 b.h.p. at 1,100 rpm.
Torque 1,384 lbs/ft . 1,876 Nm.
Bore: 190 mm. Stroke: 250 mm. 28,353 cc (1,730 cu ins).
Wheelbase 2.75 m. (9ft 1/4"). Weight 1,900 kg.
Double chain drive.
2 cars produced
The engine has no starter motor, thus each 7.1 litre (432 cu in) cylinder has to be hand-aspirated with fuel mixture and then detonated on the correct piston, after it has begun its downward stroke, by a small battery-operated trembler coil which produces a shower of high voltage sparks. The man on the crank handle needs to stand well clear at that point !
Turn the sound up for added thunder !

I love how after he cranked it the engine stood silent for a moment before kicking the whole car one side to another spitting flames
the fact that he just started that monster on the hand crank... absolutely mental!
Absolutely fantastic! Major congrats to Mr. Pittaway! He's done a wonderful job getting this beast running again! :D
Jeremy Clarkson would be giving double thumbs-up and screaming "POWEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!!"

"The man on the crank handle needs to stand well clear at that point ! " LOL, THAT WAS A GOOOD DESCRIPTION !!! ! !!! :-)) Thank you :-)
A work of the finest italian art.
I don't want to drive it, I just want to touch it. What a machine! Beautiful! OK, I want to drive it now.
That's Just Absolutely Brilliant!!!
Number 4 cylinder appears to be running a little rich !
A genuine. 4 cylinder muscle car

Not sure which I love more, that it shakes on start up like a wet dog, or that about the same time, the exhaust ports become the Gates of Hell.
He's a better man than I to be able to turn over 28 Litres by hand!, it must have pistons like beer barrels!
Considering I'm nearly scared watching a video of this, I imagine actually being next to this car is pretty terrifying, not even mentioning actually sitting in the passenger seat or driving it.
Stupendo, le fiamme in uscita ,bella musica !

What a beast!
Talk about a smooth ride.
This beast was driven on Britush motorways by Mr. Pittaway.
Seen this beast at the NEC better in the flesh would of loved to hear her live great work guys
Looks like fuel mixture must be rich to belch out fire.
Think how big the pistons in this must be. A motor six times the size of a Ford 302 but on half the cylinders. Great noise.

Imagine hearing this behind you while driving that would be scary.
impressive tractor
Little known fact, this is the car that led to the invention of mufflers.
"monstre du toin"!!! incredible nice car ever
Holy christ look how hard it bucks when it starts up. If you crank that thing and don't let go in time it's going to tear your arm off and throw it into a different time zone.
I wish I could drive it with no earplugs in. Terrorize my town at night! Wake everyone up, lol. I'm sorry officer it's bone stock! Lol.

Der gewaltigste Automotor aller Zeiten? 19 Zentimeter Bohrung und 25 Zentimeter Hub, unglaubliche 28,4 Liter Hubraum, 290 PS: Der Fiat S 76 von 1911 sprengt alle Dimensionen. Der Wagen mit dem monumentalen Motor hatte ursprünglich nur einen Zweck: Er sollte den Geschwindigkeitsweltrekord nach Italien holen. Tatsächlich war der häufig als "Das Biest von Turin" bezeichnete Wagen 1912 am Strand von Ostende auch schneller als der bisherige Rekordhalter, der Blitzen-Benz. Doch der Rekord wurde von offizieller Seite aufgrund fragwürdigen Zeitmess-Equipments nicht anerkannt. 225 km/h soll der massive Trumm mit dem außenliegenden Kettenantrieb und den drei Zündkerzen pro Zylinder schnell gewesen sein. Die Wiedergeburt des Biests Nachprüfen konnte oder wollte es niemand. Von den zwei gebauten Wagen wurde einer im Werk verschrottet, der gewaltige Motor blieb jedoch übrig. Duncan Pittaway fand in Australien von dem anderen Wagen das Chassis und nahm sich vor aus diesen beiden letzten verbliebenen Komponenten wieder ein Auto zu bauen. Die größten Schwierigkeiten bestanden darin, den Motor wieder lauffähig zu bekommen und das fehlende Getriebe komplett nachzubauen - und das bitte entsprechend stabil, denn das Riesentriebwerk produziert immerhin 1800 Nm Drehmoment! Nach bisher zwölf Jahren Arbeit hat das Biest nun seine ersten Lautäußerungen von sich gegeben. Stefan Marjoram, der Projekt von Anfang dokumentiert, hat den Moment des Erststarts auf Film festgehalten. Schnallen Sie sich an…
Dat torque tho.
In F&F, there was the line: Your engine isn't even the size of your mouth! Well, I guess, this one beats the rat block V8, by far.
7.1 lts per cylinder, wow.

Search for "Fiat S76 - Beast of Turin" the audio is much better on that video. This audio seems a bit neutered, doesn't sound as vicious.

Try nearly 9 gallons of gas per revolution of the engine. So pretty much 0 mpg.
almost 1,400 foot-pounds of torque...through a chain.

$76. ? Well, In 1913 4 US cents was worth $1. US 2024 dollar.

Das ist dann wirklich mal ein Verbrenner, der zur Erderwärmung beiträgt. 😂
THATS A FIAT?!?!
It has 300 horse
It only has a 4-cylinder.
........and, as a classic Historic vehicle it is ULEZ exempt! 👍👍😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Variath Yea, but guess what. Horsepower is torque times RPM/5555, so if you do the math (which I did), this thing revs to only 1,100 RPM. That means that it makes about 1,515 foot pounds of torque. That's more than a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse.

E aí, beleza?! Notei que tu aprecia veículos. Como fiz um canal aonde eu pessoalmente crio e filmo, daqui dos Estados Unidos, testes de 0 - 100 Km, test-drive e testes de veículos como o mais novo Dodge Charger, o Hyundai Santa Fé, o novo Ford Edge, quis te convidar para dar a sua opinião sobre uns dos meus vídeos. Por favor, visite o meu canal no KZread e escreva a sua opinião por meio de um comentário para que eu melhore a qualidade dos vídeos. O G2 Carros (G2C) agradece!

She sounds a little lean. She is definitely backfiring on a cylinder. Timing sounds a bit slow.

jeepinator That's true, but if you watch the exhaust, you can see the #3 cylinder is popping a lot more than the rest of them, and it's backfiring out of it, with a lot less of a flame.
Total death trap. Small wheels (with basically bicycle spokes no less), chain driven with a MASSIVE power output, on top of the exhaust spitting right in your face, and that thing is awkward as hell. ....but damn is it cool!!
so this is what everyone on facebook is sharing... big deal lol
