In the early days of motor racing, there really was no replacement for displacement. Going faster meant constructing ever larger engines, and in 1910, Fiat set the bar by designing a 28.5-liter (1,729-cu.in.) inline four-cylinder to power its S76 Grand Prix car. Two were built, but just one survives today; now, thanks to the efforts of restorer Duncan Pittaway, the surviving “Beast of Turin” has awakened after its century-long slumber.
Runs about as gracefully as I expected. Look at how basic that crank looks. That engine is bigger then the the diesel in my M35A2 both displacement and overall size. Crazy!
