Projekt Brutus

[@toothpik00]

seeing those rockers and tappets going makes this thing look alive. brilliant

[@Slapstop]

i've seen the Brutus for real, it's an amazing and scary machine. can imagine back in the days they thought this was the Devil's limousine. great project and a must see!

[@butcherChrist]

That is insane! The brute power would shred those tires in one burst or the throttle! Its huge, I'd like to see it take a run on The Flats with modern tires!

[@mxblankd26]

i love how you can see the rockers

[@CasualCollector]

nice u can see the rocker arms moving

[@nocrap62]

Nice monster...looks like a V-12...

[@kyzrvlhlm1995]

@canadiangearhead80 you gotta remember that the car components pre 1930 so 750 bhp in a car that weighs about 1500kg, that meens over 400bhp/ton

[@DatBlueHusky]

i bet it takes a big ass flywheel to run it since it swings those giant props

[@ManusBell]

haha thats amazing you can see the valves open and close

[@Detoyato]

Looks like they mated two of the engines used in the Fokker D7 together and made a V

[@oldskoolcoinop]

Imagine being the guy in 1908 that took that thing to speed on those tyres

[@Sjanzo]

Yes, the exposed valve train would need a lot more maintenance in a car, 1 meter above the dusty 1900's dirt roads, than high up in clean air...

[@Olli120]

Yeah this kind of engine was used in Planes like the Dornier Do X so it had to be frickin HUGE xD

[@poodumrover1]

is that a television in front he's trying to start ..

[@rjsny350]

can you imagine what we could do with 47 liters now?

[@Draven84]

power steering isn't a big issue once you've picked up some speed

[@nug260]

47 liters!?! thats 2867 cubic inches. or insane!

[@hiyadroogs]

yakkamobbfoob, the torque of this engine if the horsepower (750)& rpm (1700) are correct, is: 2319 lbs/ft @ 1700rpm. This is a very softly tuned engine by modern standards, - only 49.3 lbs/ft per litre! Most modern petrol engines make more than 70lbs/ft per litre. The best modern car turbodiesels make 140lbs/ft per litre even before they get chip tuned. So a modern turbodiesel of this capacity would be making 2130 bhp @ 1700 rpm. & 6580 lbs/ft of torque!!

[@icutemall]

Was gas like .12c a gallon when they made that thing?

[@Detoyato]

Lol I didnt notice those tires. They are skinnnnnnnnnnnnnnny man.

[@hurius]

@babaluboo123 5mp cam? that has my 2008 6220 classic too

[@dgurevich1]

That thing has a clutch?

[@DionysiosA76]

the CAT 3616 displaces 91L. and its a V16

[@unclebobisms]

is that chain drive?

[@produKtNZ]

Total shame about the horrid audio :(, 'd have been happier with no picture, but great audio! Especially for a monster like this :D

[@authmaax]

a radiator fan is enough to make a 1/4 mile pull, huh?

[@Huiibuh]

You will probaly never hear it agian, as they took it out for a TV Show they burnt the clutch and the owner is not willing to repair it. So you better take what you get !

[@yakkamobbfoob]

torque?

[@Huiibuh]

@babaluboo123 Well :-) the iPhone wasnt out at that Time, when I recorded the movie. I got one a few month later. I now use a NOKIA N97 and it makes incedible Pics and Vids much better than the iPhone.

[@tsohmas]

thatst nuts

[@SoccerClassics]

@Huiibuh Sorry but thats bullshit. They repair Brutus in 2010. You can find it in the technical museum of Sinsheim

[@MasterScorpio78]

i think it needs a bigger stearingweel

[@TheNightrunner666]

@usmcg3 more like 3 feet per gas tank...

[@oc6huki]

Chain drive!

[@blownglasslide]

Hahahahahahaah!! At 2:57 she sets off a car alarm!

[@MegaZsolti]

how much torque? lol

[@LNM0000]

They all need to revise their trouser length despite 12c a ton, let alone gallon. FFS.

[@wernzor]

That's german engineering!

[@Huiibuh]

it was just my cellphone

[@100bsful]

im pretty sure myv527nwould smoke an r8

[@mixedboi]

50 liters / 100 KM

[@nazc0]

this is what i always dreemed to do take a ww2 fighter engine from like a spitfire and stick it onto some wheels

[@andrewt248]

I'd be more worried about putting 700+ HP to those skinny wagon wheels!!!

[@Videokiller93]

1000L/1km

[@pan68]

twice as much! 1l per km!

[@llllbserkllll]

@meiselfan außer dir jder glaub ich... undzwar seit 1908 jeder...

[@VgarajeSuRf]

Звук ужасный

[@Phobeuscz]

that sound is horrible, Brutus sounds better a lot!

[@boa721]

buy a new video camera, your audio sucks
