It's very real! You can see it on static display whenever you like-and there's a team of experts on hand to explain it to you, if you're interested. It has a Napier Lion aero engine, dating from 1919, though the car itself wasn't built till the 30s. There's no stater motor, 3 gears, and enormous disc brakes on the rear wheels only.  In the flesh it's very, very, imposing.

It's real too?! I thought it is a fake car fom Spirit of Speed!

[stavers13]

All fo the cars & tracks in Spirit of Speed are real.

[PhoenixFirebreath]

I never thought they are ALL real. Whoa...

And I thought the most cars from where I thought they are fake are USA cars. Not the Deusenberg 'cause I knew it was real.

notice the marshall pushing it falls over, great sound!

[KeeperOfTheKitten]

Without doubt one of the most extraordinary cars of the era, the Napier (or indeed any) aero-engine cars are guaranteed to get your spine tingling!

I took my 2 sons to Brooklands last weekend and when we got there I could hear this noise. I dragged them towards it and it was just this silver car sat ticking over. But what an incredible sound. And the 5 year old thought the same. After turning it over and giving a couple of blips of throttle when it was turned off there was a spontaneous round of applause from the crowd. hat was the best engine sound I ever heard (including any F1 car and I've heard them all for the last 10 years)
