Wild 120MPH Aircraft Engined Cars Startle Locals

Meet the men and their Edwardian machines as they prepare to rip it up at Goodwood's 74th Members’ Meeting in March. The sound of the Fiat Isotta, Monarch, and GN Thunderbug charging around the Goodwood race track at over 100mph will never be forgotten.

[@nickmolloy9563]

Q: And the engine mount type? A: Front, centre and rear mounted engine. Q: And where does the driver sit? A: The driver hangs off the rear of the engine somewhere behind the rear axle. What a ride!

Can't get enough of this video. There definitely needs to be a much much longer video for each of these guys talking about the cars, going over them, and driving them, ect.

[@rexluminus9867]

bitfreakazoid 👍Yes! Vids are too short. Just a teezer! Too much 👄talking.

[@thisisaj1029]

Absolutely

[@1953beetle]

And possibly some history of said vehicles?

[@oskarthompson3789]

an anti-Porsche! The engine in the middle and driver at the back

[@NoMoreMrNiceGuy223]

You don't make any sense. The 911's are famouse for having the engine mounted behind the rear axle. This to be anti porsche should have the engine mounted in front of the front axle...

[@oskarthompson3789]

@@NoMoreMrNiceGuy223 no no no, it's an anti-porche because the driver and the dngine has swaped places, A porsche (911) has the engine behind the rear exel and the driver inbetween the axels. This has the engine inbetween the axels and the driver hanging on for dear life behind the rear axel. A car with the engine in front of the front axel and the driver inbetween the axels, now that would be an AUDI, they love their engines as far infront as possible, but i'd argue thas not an "anti-porche", i'd say its an backwards-porche👍

[@tananam9782]

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.

Not such a big deal. Each 1 nominal horsepower of a steam traction engine is equivilant to 14.000 foot pounds of torque.

[@chriswouse7713]

that's cos it goes through a gearbox

[@adamskinner5868]

What a absolutely wonderful surprise finding this on the net, loved it and want to see much much more. I want to know all about these amazing machines, their engines, history and the brilliant minds that decided this was the thing to build. Great to see human ingenuity doing good shit instead of bad, something to be proud of. Thanks for showing me

[@gregking5038]

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!

[@dogphlap6749]

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).

[@user-gc2ms9de2r]

Great, just what I needed another item for my bucket list. A locomotive for the street!

[@vsci79]

The pure raw nature of these cars are overwhelming. And that I truly appreciate!!!

that 1914 GN is absolutely brutally beautiful. Now I want one

[@Troubleshooter125]

Autonomous cars? *KEEP 'EM!* I'd take one of these monstrous beauties in a heartbeat and I wouldn't look back!

[@computer5272]

[@Hole_Motorsports]

Autonomous cars are a step back from these.

[@jiggs509]

Troubleshooter125 true. Except if you crash this, you're dead.

[@Kj16V]

Well you'd have to look back occasionally - just to see what parts have fallen off.

[@Engineer9736]

Jean Michel Duval And ironically, the whole point of autonomous cars is to reduce traffic deaths. I don’t know what kind of brilliant aspect of these cars Troubleshooter has in mind to make it worth ending people their lifes.

[@williamglass2223]

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.

[@jjo3579]

[@cheatmaster408]

this video is waaaay too short cmon man we need more of those machines

[@JeBeatsElectro]

This is the most badass vehicles ever. It's art. The beauty lies in the simplicity and the incredibly unsafe driving environment. Flames, smoke and oil, just pure raw power without any practicality.

This was filmed in Burton on the Water,I arrived 5 mins after filming(I could have been famous),fabulous motors,proper cars.

[@estoyaqui5386]

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!
