E' 46 litri per 500 CV

The Brutus racing car is an extraordinary vehicle that was constructed in the Auto & Technik Museum Sinsheim's workshops in Sinsheim, Germany. After WW II many aircraft engines were available since Germany was not allowed to own aircraft. These engines were installed on old undercarriages and used to perform races.

An 1908 American-LaFrance chassis with chaindrive was being used as a basis for Brutus. A 12-cylinder 1925 BMW aircraft engine with 46 liters displacement and a constant performance of 500 hp at 1500 rpm was mounted on top. The attraction of this vehicle is not least due to the fact that it is going to reach a speed of far beyond 100 km/h at about 800 rpm only. After several years of hard work the vehicle was in the early fifties of the last century ready.
