This thing is a beast. Would you believe it's only a 1.5 litre engine? It's a V16. Produces 550bhp @ 12000rpm (supercharged). And it's from 1953!

thanks for that!

I have a magazine somewhere with an article about the car.
It actually produced something close to 1800hp, but 1200+ of that was used by the supercharger :)
Still leaves a lot, but they reckon it was the loudest and best sounding engine ever made :)
