      100 Year old 28.5-litre Fiat engine fires up after spending a century in exile

      Modern day 4.0-Liter Engines can be quite noisy and a bit too fast for the regular commuter, yet we cannot kill the fancy for such an enormously powered machine. Imagine the roar of 28.5-Liter engine that has been in exile for about 100 years. The roaring beast is none other than the Fiat 'S76' machine that has earned its nickname as ‘The Beast Of Turin'. The powerful machine was built way back in 1910 with an intention to break the land speed record, that was held by Blitzen-Benz back then in that era.

      The S76 from Fiat just does not simply earn its title as ‘The Beast Of Turin'. To begin with, the machine is indeed capable of producing an enormous 300 Bhp of power output. The vehicle was reportedly brought to life under guidance of a British auto expert named Duncan Pittaway who had been planning on breathing life into this enormous monster for years. The task was indeed difficult as only two S76s were ever built by the company. Chassis remains of one of the vehicle was found somewhere in Australia, which was later collected and assembled into the existing S76 engine of the other car. The sound made by the engine is not indeed meant for the faint hearted!
