Nope. Porsche was about removing everything that needn't be there, and maximizing everything that's left. If anything, these were Proto-Porsche. Proto-American Hot-Rod too, in a slightly more direct way. Biggest power, lightest body.

You'd likely cause a caustic chemical fire when you melt through the eco-friendly recyclable biodegradable plastic and reach their $6,000 battery pack.
100 years ago, that Fiat engine was pushing a damn zeppelin, probably going on bombing missions over Europe. Now, damn near over a century, that engine is still kicking. God, I wish I could just stand next to one of these beautiful machines.
"even in a twenty year old car you are more connected".... I was just driving my 2000 Escalade. at start-up there are chimes that make it impossible to hear the engine. too much insulation. no feel. 90mph isn't a thrill, it just is 90 mph. no sound but the sterio system.... sigh.... I am bored with driving in that thing.. i get in my battered '92 toyota pick up with its rattles and its worn out exhaust. and I wish I still had my old '57 chevy pick up. it is far easier to feel alive when your senses have something to sense.
I had an Opel Astra for a week for work. Apparently it was the sports version. Absolutely no feedback from the outside, 0 driving pleasure, it was like driving a bar of soap. Even dangerous because the driver is so completely cut off from the world around. At the end of the week I was so releived to climb back onto my 1995 mx5 and drop the top... I really must try one of these beasties.
wieso? sind Oldtimer und sicherheit etc werden immer am Standard der damaligen Zeit gemessen. in unserem MG von 1954 gibt es keine Gurte und laut TÜV müssen wir auch keine nachträglich anbringen, beckengurte gibts trotzdem. Dementsprechend denke ich nicht dass diese Fahrzeuge direkt heimgeschickt werden.

I'd love to give Jay Leno's merlin car an Italian tune-up, myself, if you know what I mean! 27 liters of pure British engineering with a bit of an EFI touch, in the modified shell of a 1930's Bentley. As Michael Rosen would say, NOICE.
What a absolutely wonderful surprise finding this on the net, loved it and want to see much much more.

Love the heavy patina on these beauties. You guys are doing a great service by preserving and reinvigorating this era of automobiles. Keep up the good work!
The heavy patina on the GN Jap at 1:15 is fake. The JAP engine is from the era but the body down to the wooden chassis rails is modern, not a copy of a particular car from that era but a vehicle put together using a lot of period parts from a GN that certainly has the feel of an actual pre WW1 car that never actually existed. This comment sounds negative, not my intention, I think the builder (Richard Scaldwell) should be congratulated on a brilliant job. Much better those parts went into this creation than gathering dust in a museum (and I'm a big fan of museums too).
Pull up at the traffic lights in that maroon monster. Blip the throttle waiting for the green light the exhaust growling as if it was a mad bull pawing the ground. On the sight of green you leave Prius owner shivering with fear in a cloud of rubber and caster oil smoke as a immense roar batters their eardrums.
Saab motor company a defunct subsidiary of General Motors, used to be a car company that was famous for cars designed by aircraft engineers. Today, one would be lucky to find one working. Now Saab is sort of around making lack luster electric cars nobody wants under the name, "National Electric Vehicle Sweden." They make an electric vehicle based on the 9-3 without the Saab name.
I LOVE these cars! Thanks to all who keep them going and using them! What a blast to ride in I imagine! If anyone needs some extra "ballast" in the car just let me know! :)
Would love to see someone make model kits of these: and I don't mean some 1/12 scale monstrosity that costs 100s of dollars--something in 1/24 or 1/32 for under $50.
Yeah immersive experience. Why not sit on a diesel engine of an old leyland truck or bus. These cars are nothing but engine with seat and tyres. How the hell are they allowed on road. Looking at those torque figures they are more coffins with a speedometer
As some pointed out, some of the figures seem to be "too optimistic". But woning such a vehicle is about feeling the car and actually driving it, not 0-60 times or such. A very interesting video, thank you for sharing with us!
These things are amazing! One question though, where do they find the engines? Some of those things have to be nearly impossible to find outside of museums
Yea...., but where are the cup holders and the tablet usb sockets? The history channel needs to do a 1 hour special on each one of these cars. These are cars ive only seen in books; good stuff, need more. These are the purist versions of a GT; no standards, no limitations just build it and may the best man win. Brings up thoughts of "The Great Leslie" movie or the american cartoon Tom Slick, or Catch That Pigeon?
I wonder how long it will be before some blokes in the Goodwood type assemblage will come up with a diminutive little car powered by one of the jewel-like, four cycle model aircraft engines. 1.5 - 3.5 horsepower range doable and good quality to boot..!!
They sound BEAUTIFUL. To hear that IMMENSE POWER!!!! Yes, they have no sat nav no safety belts & no power steering no ABS & many other things a modern car has these don't. But, these are TRUE CLASSICS!!! unlike the RUBBISH!!! that is around nowadays.
That's the same reason Lewis Hamilton had his car impounded by the Australian police after leaving the Melbourne Grand Prix once - 'losing control of the vehicle' when the tyres broke traction. Then he had to appear on Australian TV and apologise for driving dangerously. Bonkers!
Amazing how they had to stuff 3000 pounds of torque into the car to be able to hit a speed that everyone else can hit with 130 pounds of torque in much heavier cars now.
I'd rather ride in one of these BEAUTIFUL!!!! yesteryear cars (given that privalige) than these modern REPULSIVE!!! things they have the ordasity to call a car today.
+LateralThinkerer What do you think?That there are still those men who think:Lets take a aircraft engine and give it wheels? Of course not,its a thinking of the area of historic cars.

The pure raw nature of these cars are overwhelming. And that I truly appreciate!!!
One thing I've always wondered about cars like these is, what's the deal with the positive camber in the front? Seems counter intuitive to me.
