Default The World's Most Powerful Street Registered Automobile!
Imagine putting the 3000bhp Supercharged V12 Merlin out of the Greatest Fighter of the Second World War in your car!!!

Say what you like about Lambo's, Ferrari's & the new Bugatti guys, but I'll take this one instead thanks.






Why?...

Been a Aviation/Motoring fan, it just simply doesn't get any better than this!

Not that '55 Chev's are my taste or anything, but I'd take a V12 Merlin engine in ANY car.

Anyone who's ever heard the noise from a Mustang or Spitfire fighter will understand what I'm on about.



I have 3 magazine features on this awesome beast which I'll include in the same topic to keep it all together. (29 pages in total)

Enjoy! :shock: 8)

Umm.....what a waste of money is my honest opinion! I would take any Ferrari or Lambo over that, even if its got 1/10 of the HP or whatever.

Thanks for the scan though, still kind of interesting.

That is an incredible idea - full marks go to the guy for actually managing to build something as crazy as that!

:shock: :shock:

That's completely insane!!! It should have been quite hard and expensive to built this car. Like someone said, it's a waste of money, but there's always someone who prefer to built a crazy car, like this, than buy a supercar.
