British people: "lol americans have such unnecessarily large engines in their cars" Also British people: *put a merlin V12 in a lawnchair*

[@ahricjohnson3647]

Puts entire plane engine in car

[@tallandhandsome29]

Cut the gardening time down considerably. Left more time for sitting in a deckchair and necking a few cans.

[@aeb1barfo]

Talking about large engines, read the history of the creation of the Sunbeam Tiger in the late 1960s.

[@tommasomartignago3978]

true story bro

[@koitorob]

No Roland. We wonder why people put old aero engines into cars! Then many of us wonder how we can get one and do the same... As for wondering why Americans put unnecessarily large engines in their cars, we don't do that. What we DO do is look at the capacity and then the power output and laugh our tits off when compared to what OUR engines produce half the size of yours!

[@arekb5951]

It's funny how at some point in the history someone said: "Let's attach a big-ass engine to a bathtub" and it was one of the best ideas ever.

[@yetidrunkallthetime7383]

Until 1980's when NHRA had some issues, bastards!

[@jdmjegan5049]

arekb5 yeah, cause the aerodynamics are so weird, it bugs me, in confusion.

[@jmoore9806]

It's called reverse engineering

[@carguy_rz]

It's really incredible and unbelieveable what speeds they reached already 100 years ago. Just imagine doing 180km/h in that naked Dirraq V8 or over 400 in that 6 wheeler Benz T80 in 1938😱

[@bernardw4842]

I love the Packard-Bentley setting off car alarms just by running :)

[@elektro3000]

Okay so it's not the T80, but at 7:59 at the bottom of the screen there is some kind of streamlined speed record car with some kind of giant forced induction aero engine running on a science fiction formula of synthetic liquids, generating thousands of horsepower and capable of running at hundreds of miles per hour. And at the top of the screen, there is a cart being pulled by a horse. The '30s must have been incredibly weird.

[@migram4190]

Aryan Engineering at its finest! 😍

[@corpsenugget455]

At 3:00 the kid just shat herself. As for the other people what the fuck did the expect. Did they expect it to sound like a Toyota Prius of course it's going to be fucking loud.

[@sakariaskarlsson634]

Yes correct, the t80 was never raced, although it would probably sound about the same

[@SpadajSpadaj]

It's not T80 indeed. It's a streamlined version of W154. mercedes-benz-publicarchive.com/marsClassic/en/instance/ko/Mercedes-Benz-W-154-streamlined-record-car-with-separate-streamlined-wheel-houses-1939.xhtml?oid=6850

[@hainleysimpson1507]

Aryans were never from Europe but India.

[@Darkan191]

This Mercedes T80 looks gorgeous and sound is even better

[@tm80notgoodwithnames58]

because it isn't T80

[@LoboSabio89]

Yeah, actually that's a Mercedes W154 Rekordwagen.

[@saxwastaken]

Funny huh... The T80 could do over 400 mph using a Messerschmitt Bf 109 engine... That's probably very close to the top speeds a late Bf 109 could do.

[@argh1989]

The Bf 109 used DB 601 and later DB 605 engines, they weren't as big or powerful as the 603. 400 mph is about right for a late 109, but that's at something like 20,000 ft altitude, where the air drag is of course much lower. I doubt they reached more than 320 mph at sea level.

[@saxwastaken]

El Ciervo Most air battles did happen at very high altitudes though.

[@Frietpan]

haha that fuel mix on that T80 mercedes... they just put everything in that burns lol

[@samulivainionpaa9338]

Frietpan Why not? Still pushes out more than enough power out

[@charlesmacgilchrist3648]

The majority of the fuel for the T80 is also the main component in the nitro RC cars that allow engines of 0.18ci to develop power in excess of 2hp at stupidly high rpm.

[@Frietpan]

i see, still tho if this mercedes is a 4 stroke vs 2 stroke without trowing a cloud of smoke to make that mix work its amazing!

[@charlesmacgilchrist3648]

It is amazing for the period. Unfortunately it was one of several things that made Hitler think his country could win a world war.

[@argh1989]

Oh lawdy, I've seen a lot on KZbin, but this is easily the most ignorant comment I've seen this week. Ah screw it, this month even! ;)

[@madjimms]

Jay Leno's Tank Car was 810hp BEFORE the turbo's were added...

[@kaldordraigo7278]

4:01 the amount of people who’s hands shot up to cover their ears cracks me up

[@GhostOfDamned]

R.I.P for that kid

[@MCMonsterbuilder]

All those really old Land speed record cars are scary. The drivers must have had huge balls. I wouldn't want to go 30kph in one of them with so skinny tires and what not, way to scary for me.

[@jcgabriel1569]

Yeah, and consider the fact that they did those records of way more than 150 mph on a beach...on tyres like those...

[@2002mould]

the Beast of Turin is always a fun automobile to watch.

[@Real_Claudy_Focan]

The Darracq is a 1905 V8 go-kart ! i'm amazed !

[@VisioRacer]

CORRECTION: The Mercedes in the video isn't the T80, unfortunately, it is other land speed record breaking Mercedes with a completely different engine. Really sorry about this situation. Besides that, the Napier-Bentley wins for me. How about you?

[@user-po6hn9id1t]

the T80 never run due to WWII. Ironically Hitler wanted to show up who is the best mechanic/engineer, by creating this vehicle with the intention to run in the area of 700km/h. Hitler suicided, but this masterpiece of 0,18 Cd survived.

[@andyharman3022]

Yeah, I was going to say something about that. The sound going along with the footage of the T80 definitely didn't sound like a 2000 rpm aircraft engine. It sounded more like a Mercedes Grand Prix auto racing engine from the same era. The speed record cars were basically their racing cars with more aerodynamic bodies. But they did run on exotic mixtures of nitrobenzene and alcohol.

[@Razor43595]

VisioRacer was confused when you showed the W154 Rekordwagen instead lol

[@Real_Claudy_Focan]

Napier !!! ...because W-engine !

[@Real_Claudy_Focan]

it seems there's no footage for the T-80 record... because war happend ! ...30's was a time for engines and cars ! they went crazy with "Komprezor" and stuff like that !

[@dormantsuperhero]

I love the irony of one horsepower going across the bridge above the Mercedes with 3000+hp lol.

[@chriswilson2431]

The Napier lion was referred to as a “broad arrow” engine, not a W12 even though other later engines of similar configuration were often called W12’s. Just for your information, I happen to know the guy who built the Napier Bentley and I believe has now sold it on. Keep up the good work mate! Love the work you put into researching interesting engines and vehicles.

[@TR5T]

Glorious, imagine if they knew we now make 2 litre motors with 350-400 bhp

[@ericwhitehead6451]

The T80 is a thing of beauty. Amazing machine, as all of the cars featured are.

[@CrossWindsPat]

The Beast of Turin!!! Each cylinder is more than a fucking LS7 engine!!! Crazy

[@trespire]

There is a video of the Fiat beast spitting out fire all over. It has no exhaust manifold to speak of.

[@amateurtorque6709]

Love the reaction of the people at 4:04 when the Duraq starts up

[@1MatchesMalone1]

[@bigpapabeef9554]

That Mercedes is insane, the styling looks like something that would be considered futuristic even today. Was it built in Nazi Germany, it certainly looked like it was and also since it had a Messerschmidt engine I'd imagine so.

[@riciy]

built in 1938/39

[@member5488]

Hitler and Germany in general were a bit obsessed with formula 1 and land speed records pre-war. Mercedes and Auto Union basically had German government backing and formula one races in Germany would have bigger crowds then than they do now.

[@bigpapabeef9554]

member548 Wow, I never knew that, that's fascinating. i guess you could say that they had a bit of an obsession with finishing races.

[@TheRealKoolguy007]

I wish I could say I'm disappointed, but I'm actually quite impressed. Someone give this man a cookie.

[@member5488]

Yes, it was still just called Gran Prix then. Yes, the "mighty" Brits held most land speed records then. Yes, that engine normally used in a Messerschmitt was build by Daimler-Benz. Yes, that car isn't the T80. The video poster already left a comment correcting that. It doesn't change the fact that racing was very popular in pre-war Nazi Germany and that Mercedes and Auto-Union basically had government backing. You're quite the multi-tasker. You can split hairs and be an asshole at the same time. I'll give you my cookie.

I can't say much about the displacements but judging by what I see with most of them I'd say the power numbers are grossly overstated. The Mercedes T80 0-60 of 1.32 seconds? dream on, no way.

[@Gojira_uz]

I wonder if there was a car with 7,9 or 11 cylinders.

[@bernardw4842]

@@Gojira_uzThere were definitely tanks, using radial engines based on aero engines. Youv'e probably seen the round engines on WW2-era planes. They have those numbers of cylinders.

[@davidtuttle7556]

Theoretically yes, if its a radial rather than an in-line or v arrangement.

[@1959BB]

The Darracq is water cooled as well. The V on the front is the radiator, and the brass torpedo atop the engine is the coolant header tank. Unfortunately the owner, Mark Walker, had an engine problem at Mallory Park a few years ago. I believe he is in progress of repairing the block etc. I also have a few videos of the Darracq, Napier Bentley and the Beast of Turin on my channel. Just short clips from different events.

[@hewnrai]

The blastolene special's engine came from the M103 heavy tank

[@McVerne]

That Napier-Bentley is pure badass!

[@marcust510]

These engines are roasting tires like it’s nothing!!!

[@MistaWeeGee]

I believe that the Handlye was built by the guy who bought a motorcycle from me many years back, at that point the car was close to being finished. As I recall he said the engine came from a Hawker Hurricane, which was another of many many aircraft that utilized the Merllin. He said he got hold of 2 engines and using the best pieces from both built the engine that's in the car. I can't remember the timescale but it was in the order of 10 years or longer in the making.

[@calebpeterson8322]

that Napier Bentley lit those tires up

Better forward visibility (in single-engined aircraft) and they were easier to access for service.

[@vladm2902]

brutus has 1,880 lbs ft

[@NJPurling]

The 1905 Darraq is supposed to be the first V8, but it was not a production line engine. The frame is pretty minimal & you can see the torque reaction twist the thing when the driver opens the throttle. Brutus is an absolute beast and so is the Handlye Special. The British Bulldog vs the evil Hun. I would love to drive that Fiat S76 through central London dressed like Biggles & let the blast from the exhaust ports break shop windows. The driver of Brutus cooks frankfurters with the exhaust flames. With the Fiat one could roast an entire lamb.
