The Beast of Turin... watch a 100 year old 28.5L four cylinder land speed record holder fire up

...for the first time in almost 100 years

Do yourself a favor, watch the whole trailer and let it build up. Don't skip forward. It's amazing.

Holy Shiat, each cylinder is like an LS7. No torque there . I'd be behind a wall when that sucker fired up for the 1st time.

I'm guessing the guy who draws the short straw is the one who has to hand crank it....kickback might be ugly!

No way it started the way he cranked it....
I think he was preloading another spring, which, when released, turned the crank.
Had a lawnmower that started like that when I was a kid.
