Two thumbs way up for adding all of the descriptive information pop ups. There's so many videos of who knows what, because they didn't bother to even list of vehicles name. Well done and very appreciated thank you
Back in the mid 1970's I drove with a colleague to Capel Curig in North Wales to buy a Jaguar XK150S and drove up a farm lane to a large barn full of beautiful classic vehicles. The seller was Owen Wyn Owen who then proceeded to show us a project he was working on restoring Babs amongst his many other projects. The cylinder heads were off and the exposed cylinders were the size of flower pots. At the time he was trying to recover a similar liberty engine from a swamp in Florida for spare parts. Not bad for a lecturer at Bangor University!!
What I find utterly compelling about these cars is how unbelievably cantankerous those huge old engines were (I simply cannot imagine flying an aircraft powered by such unreliable, by modern standards, engines). Yet, when they run, they produce so much torque that they'll strip the teeth off the gears in the most durable gearboxes. I imagine, if you know what you're doing, running one of these big engines must be frustrating and rewarding in equally huge measure. Certainly, they won't leave you feeling indifferent!
Most of them run so much better when they're installed in aircraft. I can't put my finger on why some of these engines in the cars are left so poorly tuned
@@jetstream454 The flight logs and memoirs of air crews who flew aircraft powered by these kinds of engines, generally speaking, reflect just how often they suffered engine trouble. Engine reliability was an issue even in WWII, though it isn't much heard of, since air crews had more pressing issues at hand, like being shot at, and that generally steals the limelight. On every raid, a certain percentage of aircraft turned back with mechanical trouble before reaching the target. And, knowing old engines, no matter how well you tune them, they fall out of tune quite readily for a myriad of reasons. So i wouldn't be too hasty to blame the owners for poor maintenance.
@@ElBach1y In most cases that's quite true. What i was alluding to was the adaptation of such engines to automotive use. Breaking gearboxes in that application with them is a recurrent theme.
Some of the informations are wrong. The Beast of Turin has no aircraft engine and Brutus has a displacement of 47 liters (46,93) and was built between 1998 and 2006 and not in the Fifties.
@@unclerobert7532, see, that’s why Wikipedia isn’t a fully trustworthy source for information. I read the English article and it is absolute crap. How could have Brutus been built shortly after WW II when the Technik Museum Sinsheim, that built it, was founded in 1981.😉
Always a good sign when - the driver's seat looks like an airplane cockpit - the exhaust belches out meter-long flames you can barbeque sausages with - the engine sounds like it's about to take off
Go look at Jay Lenos collection, a couple of Merlins, Hispano Suizas etc. As for Beast of Turin,,, Duncan actually races that at Goodwood and it is not super slow. And drives it to the track. And scares everyone on the Goodwood hill.
Babs has long been a favorite of mine since reading Ken Purdy's article on the car's excavation, called appropriately "The Day They Dug Up Babs". It's a fun read and that car... oh how that car never gets old!
Nice seeing the Aussie built Final Objective again! Such an awesome car with fantastic details... The airbrush work is amazing!!! And from memory, made road legal in Victoria lol
There was a guy who built a car with a P38 engine as the power source . . . it could be heard all over our small town when he took out the garbage where it was stored! 👍👍😘
I love how way back then they were just like...okay what if we just swap out the regular engine for a plane engine?...and everyone else just immediately agreed
Hearing Protection anyone. ? Naw, we are British. WE across the Pond Yanks love these things. We put them in our Hydroplanes. Sir Malcolm had a couple of rides without wheels/ powered BY???. He flew across the Water. That was cool. Jay Leno has a Garage full of COOL.
The informationabout V12 engines was amazing. I learned so many things that I never knew before. I had to replay it a few times to fully understand the masses of information that was given.
I think it's heartwarming to see old engines being repurposed and put to work again
OMG. The flames... and the smoke... and the noise... insane! Love it!
Thanks, pls share!!!

That Fiat is amazing! A four banger with the displacement of a RR Merlin! Let that sink in a moment.

lovely drive, would highly recommend 👍😎
It’s insane to see these absolute monsters of machines running and doing it well. I could watch this video a dozen times and not get bored.

they weren't going through a gearbox in the plane, propeller was bolted straight

@@ElBach1y He was talking about car gearboxes, but on that note often those big planes had gear reduction propeller shafts.
I like brutus
Yes, most of us like BRUTUS, the iconic vehicle built from aircraft engine.
I like the last car wrecked and buried for 40 years!
A very expensive to run rotisserie bbq.
My upvote is the old codger doing john force style burnouts in the red car. Everyone else is putting. He’s giving er’ the beans.
I just love how massive they all are while having less cargo and passenger space than a Kia Rio
you were lucky enough to find room for wallet and house keys in the cockpit ;)
Something about these cars sound cooler than even modern supercars
Exactly, some classic cars are cooler than today's cars.
I have seen the brutus (not running), i already took a look in the cockpit. I already was at the Sinsheim Musuem, its a nice car
Yes, that right!
Yes, it's a great car, and the name fits .
I’ve been at speyer and Sinsheim. It’s great really massive.

Wrong,brutus was built in the fifties check Wikipedia page of brutus
@@unclerobert7532, nope! de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brutus_(Experimentalfahrzeug)
@@paddycore8985 you have the German page ,i read the English page not German , two different pages of Wikipedia

The more our government pushes us to electric vehicles, the more I feel I need one of those 47Litre aircraft engines in my car.
How you can't love these amazing cars !?
Yeah 🙌
Thanks for putting this video together. That was a lot of fun to watch.
Thank you Sir, hope you enjoy and please share if possible🙏
WAS FÜR EIN GEFÜHL. VIELEN LIEBEN DANK...FRIEDEN und FREIHEIT...
Absolutely awesome. I bet the eco-green loons are spitting feathers over this one. Hope so!
Thank you, nice 👍
Always a good sign when
- the driver's seat looks like an airplane cockpit
- the exhaust belches out meter-long flames you can barbeque sausages with
- the engine sounds like it's about to take off
Perfette per la transazione ecologica 🤣👍
The Beast Of Turin is my favorite.
Yeah, me too and The BRUTUS more!
You and me both. It just sounds right, not like the rest of these clown cars...
I always love to see a V12 Merlin in a car. It just makes me happy.
Wow! Nice views! And HPs noice!!
00:03 D day be like
BMW BRUTUS ,what a beast of a car
0:30. Love that chain-drive with the giant sprocket!
Hier ist der Punkt, wo ich mir Geruchs UA-cam wünsche
Tolle Maschinen ♥
Flames shooting out the sides. Seems safe. Let’s go for a ride😂
Ini yang di sebut tua-tua keladi 😁😁😁,,biarpun mobil model tua tapi mesin gaharr...luarr biasa👍👍👍 !!!
Beautiful machines.
Brutus featured in an episode of Top Gear racing against a car with a non supercharged Merlin engine. Both were great cars.
Oui alors la super l'échappement libre sur cette machine top geer
Go look at Jay Lenos collection, a couple of Merlins, Hispano Suizas etc.
As for Beast of Turin,,, Duncan actually races that at Goodwood and it is not super slow. And drives it to the track.
And scares everyone on the Goodwood hill.
Jay leno has some crazy beasts
The Goodwood footage of The Beast's appearance with other large displacement early racers makes for compelling viewing.
These cars rock
the Bentley's are CRAZY beautiful
the most beautiful and beautiful demonstration of brute force. . in the simplicity of a car.
Babs has long been a favorite of mine since reading Ken Purdy's article on the car's excavation, called appropriately "The Day They Dug Up Babs". It's a fun read and that car... oh how that car never gets old!
Such beautiful motor cars. Long may they keep ticking over.
Beautiful and great to see still working. And in the UK ULEZ free!!
Great for picking the kids up from school!
The second one is just pure monster
Want the Beast of Turin as my daily driver!
That was great to watch!
Thank you, hope you enjoy 😀
im a new sub loved liked shared and very very coooool ! :D
Thank you so much 👍
128mph with chain drive is insane
Wurstel and lead....very good!
Wszystkie maszyny są niesamowite ale największe wrażenie robi na mnie Fiat s76 po prostu no jest Bogiem to jest potwór potęga i tyle pozdrawiam
リアルチキチキマシン猛レース！！かっちょ良い！
Excellent video
Thank you so much and please share 🙏
Чудо техники! Красавцы!
3:53 nice!
Love the Railton powered one. You can show off to ya mates and cook lunch at the same time
Ikr . A bit like DJ John Peel's spiffing idea of a combined bidet and dish-washer . 🤣
Brutus 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yeah, Brutus is so unique!
Даешь гонки Лондон Мехико 😊😊😊
Napier- Bentley is the coolest toaster on the planet.
Some of these cars sounded awesome in my headphones 🤘
Oh Nice! Yes, only headphones can help us feel in deep!
Wow bad ass drifting for those old girls
Nice seeing the Aussie built Final Objective again! Such an awesome car with fantastic details... The airbrush work is amazing!!! And from memory, made road legal in Victoria lol
Yes, was fully street legal in Victoria. but I think Rod was the only one allowed to drive it.🙂
I would imagine someone in the Victoria MoT must have been a fan.
Perfact Sound, 기갑 보직이었던 군인들은 눈물을 흘립니다
Impressive, this is not just a car. But this is a masterpiece 👍
Exactly Sir, not only as a car but these amazing creations look like some artworks 👍
Amazing. Thx
It's like watching Mad Max.😁
loveeee, perfect
Very nice engines
That's right, maybe these engine were invented for rebuilding.
Totally badass!
Das ist so geil 👍😁❤️🇩🇪
Amazing! 10/10
Thank you 👍
Stick out yer arm of to see if the engine is running. Brilliant video.
Thank you
hola Buen video amigo👌
⭐⭐⭐
The clasiic CAR....
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️Ilikke..keren
Thank you, please share!
This is passion
That's right, Sir!

Nice

5:40 The size of the steering wheel in these beasts is quite sobering. My guess is the steering linkage didn't provide much mechanical advantage!
Those huge steering wheel look beautifull, and must feel amazing to use, they replaced steering assistance for no cost !
Ich verstehe nicht wie kann man sowas schön nennen. Einfach nur furchtbar.
Nice video let down by the small text that flashes by too fast to read entirely.
it would be a sight to behold seeing those land speed record cars at their top speed
This is one of the badass era of cars
Insane vehicles
Very nice vehicles in the first time part of construction
Salut my friend super car super video subscribe.
We're the fire extinguisher
I think the good cylinder volume is like the rock star age, at least 27 !
Ok 👌
Gostei do 8 lsane vintage cars powered by aero engine
i want to daily drive one of these
Fantastic
Thank you 👍
I like the idea of using the exhaust flames as indicator lights :)
You just have to be a car bloke to understand. Absolute beauty. Imagine 170+ mph in the babs. fkn terrifying
How many miles to the gallon?
Ans.: Who cares?
Luggage space?
Ans.: Who needs it?
😁,☺️👍🏻👍🏻,Good..Beautiful Antik..
The beast of Turin did not have an airplane engine
Hardcore💪😁
0:34 This part sounds like a recording of a neutron star.
Ah the days of external combustion engines! ;-)
7:42
The size comparison between what I believe is Fangios Maserati 250F from 1957 and whatever that behemoth that it’s passing
This is going to viral. rember
Nice!
Hearing Protection anyone. ? Naw, we are British. WE across the Pond Yanks love these things. We put them in our Hydroplanes. Sir Malcolm had a couple of rides without wheels/ powered BY???. He flew across the Water. That was cool. Jay Leno has a Garage full of COOL.
Sublime.
Am here watching vintage do a powerslide even a bit.. with a thin skinny tyre

Correction, the Beast is not powered by an aero engine.
