This is pretty remarkable, if not entirely bizarre. You are about to see the extremely and fancifully huge PT Boat engine powered Packard Bentley fire up. This is one of those vehicles that a man with a ton of money thought up and made occur. As you would certainly imagine the PT boat engine market is rather small as well as obtaining one, obtaining the parts, and also getting it to function is not something the average plumbing technician can manage.

The cars and truck is based off of an extremely very customized 1930 Bentley 8-Litre chassis and beyond that it is s custom construct. There are numerous of these extraordinary autos in England that have actually been developed “post period” yet appear to fit right in with the Beast of Turin and others that in fact did exist in the world of fact regarding 100 years earlier.

The engine is 40-liters (thinking it is supply birthed and stroke), brings a centrifugal supercharger, as well as makes anywhere in between 950 and 1,500 hp depending upon which precise variant of the Packard 1A-2500 it is. Oh, the 2500 in it’s designation? That stands for the cubic inch variation which is technically something like 2,489 ci yet here’s to rounding up.

The vehicle is clearly running a little rich in this video as there are fires lingering in the exhaust yet hot damn is it a wild point to see. Yes it relocates, yes it drives, and also indeed it gets driven “competitively” at hill climbs and also even some vintage racing events!

Press play listed below to see the enormous Packard-Bentley fire up as well as, well fire up!
