A 28.5-liter four-cyclinder, for anyone wondering. 290 metric horsepower, with four valves and two spark plugs per cylinder. Unofficial record for fastest car in the world at the time, as I understand clocking a top recorded speed of 132.27 mph. Roars like what I imagine the sun’s core would sound like from within.
