10.2 litre aero engined Goggomobil

[Jonny69]

Right, this is probably one of the most bonkers things I've stumbled across. Take a post-war Nazi/Commie Goggomobil microcar, junk the 2-stroke lawnmower engine and replace it with a smoky 10 litre radial engine in the back with 360hp

Awesome video with some seriously funky fabrication:

Only 360HP?

 

[Jonny69]

It's a biplane engine from like 70 years ago dude.

 

[Lashout_UK]

Later ones made 460BHP with fuel injection though, so there's upgrade potential

Probably quite a considerable amount of torque in that mill too....

Only 360HP?

The Russian-built, 10220cc Vedeneyev M14P radial engine was originally commissioned in the 1930's

*sigh*

You need biggles goggles and a flying jacket to drive that thing, watch all the old people run for cover "oh noes the bombs"!

Epic project the gearbox build video was impressive.

HaHa, that's utterly ridiculous

Love it

666 lb-ft according to that site

Maybe it was the video not showing it all that well, but the acceleration looked seriously poor for 360 hp.

I wouldn't be surprised if the car folded in half with that kind of torque in a little thing like that....

 

[TaKeN]

Thats crazy

Rev it too hard and the car will flip over sideways.

How much do you think the engine weighs?

how you could drive this car without playing something like ride of the valkyries on your ipod i dont know

 

[Batf1nk]

Was hoping for a big smokey black 11 etched into the road!

 

[MikeHunt79]

That's awesome, nice work with the lathe/mill also.

 

[miniyazz]

Hmm I guess :/

Or do this:

Fetch my lollerskates!

 

[Malt_Vinegar]

So many videos I have seen of interesting creations have lacked any kind of demonstration of the build process. I was loving seeing the end product, and the build.

Top notch post Jonny69

lol, genius
