Brutus spitting flames

[rainerfilm]

WAIT THERE IS A HUGE PROBLEM! How do you order your food at the drive through?

It is to loud.

[MysteryDrifter69]

This engine will outlast any vehicle in the world. I own a 1988 chevy which is getting close to 500K km on it on the factory engine, but this car here, the "Brutus" that will outlast anything.

[sebastianix86]

this is "meccanic istint" .old car have a soul as human. todays car are cold and rational as electronic and japanese .....

[21min56secs]

30 gallons per mile

[Valdakyr]

@21min56secs 1 ltr per kilometer

[cromartie800]

LOL, the perfect car for the rich sociopath!!!

[Valdakyr]

@cromartie800 rich sociopaths drive armorcased SUVs or limousines, not cool cars. You must become aware of that they're stupid people, abusing people who are not aware of them.

[vettelover2009]

this was batmans first car...until it caught his bat cape on fire and melted robins hair...

[MangoHombre]

Looks perfectly safe and reasonable.

[freezyguy666]

If i am a mailman, i'd drive this!

[guguigugu]

there goes my weekly petrol supply...

[ytacccc]

does it run on wood or coal ?

Great car :)

[Stalin111]

BOAH. Nur mal so anbei: der selbe Motortyp brachte den Schienenzeppelin, einen propellergetriebenen, 20 Tonnen schweren Eisenbahntriebwagen, auf 230 km/h.

Ich würd echt gern sehn was passiert wenn man dieses Monster in ein etwas moderneres Chassis hängt, und es auf nem Salzsee oder ner anderen Rekordbahn antreten lässt.

[WaffleIronMan91]

Apparently this thing was estimated to get 0.18 mpg

[jbimpala1]

chitty chitty bang bang

[afthefragile]

Is it loud?

[xmasterT]

dear santa....

[butchflowers]

It sounds like it's making laser sound effects.

[TheLegend474]

Sausage anyone?

[TheHuskyGT]

I never understood why it spits flames from the exhaust manifold. Does it have holes in it?

[AnonymoussourceL0L]

what was that weird whipping noise sounded like short bursts of air?

[BoostedYards86]

thats epic!

[technikmuseum2010]

This car can be seen LIVE on the "Brazzelday" (7th and 8th May 2011 - The museums birthday celebrations) at the Technik MUSEUM SPEYER, Germany.

[DZoneMotorsportTV]

Roasted marshmallows anyone?

[drumboarder1]

Technology really is the bridge here, you get 4 cylinder 2 liter japanese cars from recent times that shit all over this in performance after some tuning or even 2 cylinder rotors :P

[DevSolar]

@drumboarder1 You might get as much horsepower from smaller modern engines, but the torque of that thing is *brutal*. :-D

[TheGuitarBoy1000]

sind dass fehl zündungen ?

[okotokspaul]

ah the days before "health+safety" - it looks+sounds a monster

[JBOGermany]

a car made to scare Chuck norris

[BjoernSOAD]

How much fuel needs it on 100km ??? :D

[aserta]

@BjoernSOAD more like "how many fuel tankers does it chew-on in 100km?" :))

[JBOGermany]

@BjoernSOAD 1 Liter on 1!!! 1 km

[Logik426]

first cylinder from right isn't spitting... WHY?

[boilingpoint2]

@Logik426 tired engine:x

[yeeHAW840]

if i were BATMAN i wood drive this. O-O

[Fritztoons]

This beast is an "automotive-music-and-fun-inst­rument". It´s made to impress, not to move people from A to B. Very nice. I allways enjoy it.

[hunterziegelmann]

If i was chuck norris i would drive this.

[wmichswingers]

@hunterziegelmann Most people would be afraid to drive Brutus... Brutus is afraid to be driven by Chuck Norris...

[19jacobob93]

haha thats coolest thng iv seen in a while

[mastersduhgree]

Looks like something mickey roonie was in.

[mastersduhgree]

Brutus misses his runway

[bollermichel]

In this case its not 5 Miles per gallon its

5 Gallons per mile! :-))

the Museeums Direktor says app. 100 Liters for 100 Kilometers!!!

[xmodvin12]

"i drive a porshe, what do you drive"

"well i drive brutus, gets about .5 MPG highway, what about ur little porshe there"

.......

LOL!!!

[michael9515]

you just have to love 48L BMW V12 engine :D <3 750hp if i'm not mistaking...

[Bamchucknorris]

750 hp at 1700 rpm : 750hp at idle speed lol

[RonaldsonTippet]

It really is alive isn't it...wonderful.

[TheRockBam]

Its a BMW Plain-Motor

[at4wobe1]

Plane not Plain ;-)

[harleybayo]

THIS MACHINE RUNS ON RICE ROCKETS

[NikiDaDude]

If I were a supervillain I`d drive this!

[mr2ben]

If I were the Devil, I'd drive this!

[bigtank2185]

i think the devil made this car!

[5horsepower]

i think theres headers coming from the other side and no headers on the side u see

[hoosyerdaddie]

What's with the odd flames? It looks like all the exhausts go into a single collector, but flames are coming from each header pipe as well.

[KeeperofTheMountain]

Can you just imagine this fine piece of history hauling ass down the road at night? What a show!

[hoosyerdaddie]

I don't think it's a "piece of history" as you say. I think it's just something they decided to build, just for the heck of it.

[Fritztoons]

Yes, it is made just some yers ago: Objective was FUN! It is a real historic aero BMW engine made for a zeppelin.#The car is made a bit in the shape of the Blitzen Benz fromthe 1920ies.

[misfitsxcore]

Bet she's GREAT on gas.

[scruttart]

You can see every explosion,GREAT .

[GoodEvenings]

Does it constantly do this on idle?

[Siopus]

Yes! Very impressive!

[briarturi]

q geringonsa

[straightsixM52]

Can't say what I feel now... Fascinating!!!

[Bonzengarde84]

german power

[greeneyedsteamengine]

Extravagant noise-maker.

[harry4468]

what do you reckon it would do flat out

[kibidk]

Probably explode :-)

[harry4468]

LOL

[Tasher1991]

Wonderful.

[sprsteve8702]

lol put some headers on that thing and take it for a spin!

[JAROSLAVAGINA]

what is that engine out of?

[Siopus]

It's a BMW VI engine used in different airplanes like the Heinkel He9 and the Dornier Wal. 46.93 litres and 550hp at 1530 rpm (750hp possible for a short time)

[phil656565]

how many ft lbs of torque... with that much weight spinnin its got to be insane

[dealviinde]

@Siopus 750 with ethanol?

[dealviinde]

@Siopus 750 with ethanol? or Methanol?? something?

[bowman2062]

@dealviinde

Propbably nitroglycerin :)

[ClonerKing]

@Siopus I thought something was wrong here since the car is supposed to be from 1908. After WW2 Germany was not allowed to have an air force so they had engines in excess causing these guys to build a race car based on the 1926 BMW VI. The only chassis they could find that would hold it was an American 1908 American LaFrance - hence my original confusion. It took years to build the car so it was probably not finished until sometime in the 50's.

[joe23ba]

@Siopus yes but still not very fast

[37zeus37]

@JAROSLAVAGINA
