That thing is neat ! 1730 cu. in. in 1911. Just goes to show there is no replacement for displacement.

My ears are ringing from my little tablet speakers. Can't imagine being in it. Wouldn't hesitate, though, given the chance!

I drove USMC LVT P5's, had a 1790 CI V12 in theme and weren't that impressive. Jay Leno had a runabout roadster with the same Continental V12 which was impressive to see and hear, but this is just four. The jugs on the V12 are large, what size are these babies. Wow!

432 cu in per cylinder!!! Each cylinder displaces twice what a Model A engine does.
