Is 1600HP enough?

The Packard Royal, with the engine from a PT boat! And I thought my car was hard to park...

Probably weighs too much to have a decent 0 - 60 time...

I have seen a powerboat with a 27litre v12 engine from a Supermarine Spitfire or Lancaster bomber in it.

It's all relative.

I'm pretty sure when he accelerates the track moves backwards and the car stands still.

You have to admire the dedication to build something like that. Amazing machine! I wonder if he can even spin the wheels?

Looney, but in a good way.

I wonder how it would compare to the Meteor engined Blower Bently lookalike that featured on Top Gear?
