Driving 100-Year-Old Cars With Aeroplane Engines Looks Like The Most Fun Ever

These awesome chaps like to drive cars from the Edwardian era, terrorising local villages with ridiculous noise and plumes of smoke. These are some awesome machines!

I was just thinking that.. Earth shattering amounts of torque, how do those wheels still have rubber on them..

So those things are roadlegal but when I put a big brake kit on my mini it is suddenly a deathly bullet.

The “on” makes it the best bit, since it will not fit in it

Dude

think about this. It won’t be long before the old muscle cars we enjoy so much will be “100 year old cars”. Some of us may live long enough to see our favorite muscle car hit 100 years old.

I really love it! 😀 They all have a sort of Victorian steampunk theme to them as well! So beautiful!

Can someone please explain how those tyres are still intact with more than three 918s put together worth of crank torque?

i’s because of the gearing… these engines don’t even rev to 2000 rpm, so you need A LOT longer gears, so the wheel torque is not that impressive… that’s also where the hp difference comes from.
