This video deserves more views. It was a different era of car lovers make mad shit. And how good to see some guys resurrect this beast from the ashes. I love the old boys just sitting furher behind at the startup and cheering up. So hearthwarming.
Thanks for the nice comment - it was a very special day. I originally put the video on Vimeo and it went nuts - something like 6 million views in a week :) I thought there ought to be a copy on TH-cam too. The excitement has calmed down a bit now.
Fun fact: in 1911, this vehicle wasn’t just the fastest land vehicle, it was the fastest piece of transport, ever created by humans up until that point.
Italian design is still amazing. Italy as an economy never got the formula right on reliable, mass produced examples of that design, though. Don't feel bad.
I'd bet my lunch money that starting this beast up never gets old. Even though its almost 100 years old. it's more diabolical than historical. May it be forever young !
2:00 SWEET MOTHER OF JESUS !!!!!!!!!! 8-D Here's a short list of things that are a bit quieter than the Beast of Turin running: 1. An Artillery barrage 2. The bombing of Dresden 3. Mt Vesuvius erupting 4. The Space Shuttle launching 5. An average Supernova
FILM UPDATE: I'm afraid I was a bit optimistic in suggesting February for a completion date. The car has still to be driven and proper paid jobs keep getting in the way. Hoping the full-length film will be done by the Spring - but there will be another small film of it being driven soon! :)
Well I may have lost a few decibels off the high and low end but ehh. It was worth it. Mental note: never turn up volume with soothing instrumental, intro music for any more Beast of Turin videos.
Beautiful film trailer and stunning machine - incredibly moving moment. Saw the beast at Goodwood this year. Amazing, looking in that exhaust is like facing a pill box head on under heavy machine gun fire - Incredible!
+dieselmupke There has been some work on the carburettor and cam - it's much easier and more reliable now :) You get the compression with the handle - then a trembler coil makes the spark.
Cranking up this beast......... Respect,..... Looking forward to see, hear and smell this masterpiece on a VSCC meeting somewhere in the very near future. Regards, Luc.
Amazing rebuild, but i have to ask you guys for a one thing. At time 0:28sec, that part of engine is a water pump? Or lubricating system? Thanks a lot for answers 😊
I never thought i would fall in love .... But yes my heart beats only for such cars! Very very very very nice Vid mister!!!! 5 Thumbs up! greetings from germany
It slips onto the exhaust stubs. Definitely necessary for long trips with a passenger (as I found out when I nearly died of carbon monoxide poisoning). It was removed for record runs.
It has a trembler coil. You turn the handle to get compression, then push a button on the coil to make lots of sparks - and hopefully it springs into life! Duncan can now comfortably start it on the handle too. It’s not as ferocious as it was on that first day :)
+Rainhill1829 I's a royalty free piece by Mellowstu called 'In Shock' - I bought it on Pond5.com. I really wanted to use an Olafur Arnalds piece but didn't hear back from the agent.
What a wonderful more than 100 years (!!!) old car. But one very unromantic question from an engineer: What is the consumption of this 28 litre monster engine. I would think it is something with 3 digits ahead of the litres/100 km...
I can't give you an exact figure - but having just done a 500 mile road trip I can say that we did stop at a lot of stations - though it's not as horrendous as you might think because the engine turns incredibly slowly by today's standards. 128mph at 1000rpm :)
You're right, it did have some originally - but only so that Count Soukhanov could use it on the road. Record attempts were done without. Having sat in the passenger seat on long journeys I know exactly why he requested them - carbon monoxide poisoning! The car now has a set of pipes for touring - but they can easily be removed for spectacle. It runs pretty much the same with or without. This video shows the very first time the engine started. Now with much attention paid to the ignition and valve gear it starts and runs much more happily :) Here's a gallery from a trip across France... flic.kr/s/aHsmHzXQvz
Just normal fuel - it's a lot better than it was 100 years ago. Actually at Goodwood last weekend it ran on new synthetic fuel - and worked really well :)
The picture of the car from a long time ago shows a exhaust pipe and what looks like a muffler...would it run better with some backpressure?.... I like the 🔥 though...badass looking
The car was originally as you see here - built for speed record attempts. No exhaust. It was later bought by a Russian Count (Soukhanov) who requested the exhaust and chain-guard that you saw, so that he could use it on the road :) The were further modifications for the Ostend record attempts - where it had a streamlined cowl fitted to the radiator. Hope that helps.

I am Italian and this video excites me, it shows me how technologically advanced my country was. If I think of the present I get so sad.

А я пишаюся Італією, хоча й українець! Італійська техніка та італійська творча думка - це надбання людства! Що колись, що тепер!
This was the most epic start up i ever seen!
"Gramps, what are the sparks coming out of the engine?"
"Oh those are just the rings seating into place...or leaving the engine to live elsewhere"
I'd bet my lunch money that starting this beast up never gets old. Even though its almost 100 years old. it's more diabolical than historical. May it be forever young !
Haha, it always draws a crowd - and it always surprises everybody when it does fire up :)

How much db does it produces?
@@gerritvos5886 A shit ton
28 litres of 100 year old raw beast! - very impressive
Beautiful job
A 28 litre 4 cylinder powerhouse. Unbelievable technology for its time.
One cylinder has a bigger volume than a corvette, and he has four of those
Thanks for all your hard work and dedication to keeping these wondrous beasties alive and thrilling us all
Thanks! (Though it should be said, I don't do the hard work - I just take the pictures :)
My favorite motorsport video, best part starting at 1:45, the piano gets slower and finally fading out, 2 sec. of silence, and then: IGNITATION
This car is a piece of art.
Overalls and a tie... lovely.

Thank-you for the update, this is a stunning project, I literally had tears in my eyes when it first fired up :D. that sound is just godlike!.
Can't wait to see the completed film!
Aussie50 God?!, It appears like the other bloke has awakened ... LOL!.
***** Chitty Chitty KABLAM! KABLAM!! =-D
***** I'm not usually a documentary person, but this is one I would love to watch. Is this still happening? Please let it still be happening.
Well I may have lost a few decibels off the high and low end but ehh. It was worth it. Mental note: never turn up volume with soothing instrumental, intro music for any more Beast of Turin videos.
Very sorry about that. Hope the ringing stops soon :)
the way it shakes just in idle really gives it the name it has.
I love how when it starts up it basically just shakes and kicks around
Beautiful film trailer and stunning machine - incredibly moving moment. Saw the beast at Goodwood this year. Amazing, looking in that exhaust is like facing a pill box head on under heavy machine gun fire - Incredible!
What I love about this car is that it looks like something out of all creatures great and small and sounds like hell on earth.
One of the Bad boys of the old era for me
It's alive!!! Music you my ears and she is a beautiful beast!
Love it! That's not a four banger - it's a four boomer!
Congratulazioni al proprietario....è stato come fare una specie di seduta spiritica della meccanica: hanno evocato e richiamato la vecchia Signora.
Senza marmitta fa un casino ... 😆
Amazing that this engine came to life with just crancking it slowly over tdc.
And the size of it, it's enourmous.
+dieselmupke There has been some work on the carburettor and cam - it's much easier and more reliable now :) You get the compression with the handle - then a trembler coil makes the spark.
Until you turned off the tear in the eye. A piece of history. Awesome
Still less emissions than a Volkswagen;-)
also less maintenance...i guess
and it's honest about them.
Look at the amount of stupid and brainwashed idiots thinking their jokes that prove their lack of intelligence are funny.
@@derbigpr500 But is still true that VAG group sucks :D
epiphonium looks like someone loves his TDI Clean Diesel. Hows that NOx trap working for you?
Thanks so much for sharing and building amazing vehicles like this!
From Italy, thanks for your great work on this Fiat! It's really a beast!
So glad you enjoyed it. It is quite something to see in person :)

beautifully filmed man
Thanks Tom!
wonderful film .... you have great timing Stefan
Thanks Mr Swamp! One day I'll finish the blimmin' thing :)
When you see it stripped down it is ALL engine!! 7ltrs per cylinder or equivalent to a big block V8 capacity in ONE CYLINDER!!
Amazing rebuild, but i have to ask you guys for a one thing. At time 0:28sec, that part of engine is a water pump? Or lubricating system? Thanks a lot for answers 😊
That's right - it's the water pump :)
2:14 ... the beast apparently runs on shotgun shells ... 0_o
SaintDude Gaming 😂😂😂😂 I know JESUS!
Later many large engines where started by shotgun shells.
Im pretty sure they started it with one. Right past tdc then shot it to start
theres some old tractors you load with a shotgun shell, prime the engine and hit it lightly with a hammer and boom tractor starts
1:59 nearly blew up my phone's speakers. What a sound
Sorry about that :)
@@StefanMarjoram I wasn't complaining. 😃 Lovely sound
I never thought i would fall in love .... But yes my heart beats only for such cars! Very very very very nice Vid mister!!!! 5 Thumbs up! greetings from germany
At 2:40 with exhaust pipe,how did open the hood ?? (Nice 66' barracuda)
It slips onto the exhaust stubs. Definitely necessary for long trips with a passenger (as I found out when I nearly died of carbon monoxide poisoning). It was removed for record runs.
Is this a car with a engine or a engine with a car? My ears blown away, that thing is a huge metal BEAST :).
and a skyline wont pass emissions WTF
its fine on this engine because if you would try to test it i doubt there would be much left of the testing equipment XD
there's a difference in a Nissan fail-line and a historical car.
@@onyourface207 yeah the skyline has no historical background right? Stick the beast of turin up your loose ass
thegtagarage umm, no it doesn't... compared to this!
This is a classic car and thus doesn't have to conform to modern emissions regulations
Jesus this thing is a beast!!!! Love it!!
I think every time it starts up, the chassis bents 😂
What a brilliant project you chaps are onto. Love it! Keep it up, I can't wait to see it driving :D
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing
I was laughing like a maniac when that engine started up. XD Can't wait for the documentary!
Stefan, I enjoy your drawings you have a gift. This video is superb in its simpleness.
Beast reborn ❤️❤️ FIAT ❤️❤️
Awesome machine. From a time where men were men and not candy that needs bluetooth, heated seats, start-stop systems and parking sensors. :)
Are there any pictures of the car before they restored it? I'd like to see what they had when they got it.
Not a lot - pretty much just a chassis and an engine.
at 2:06, you can hear that it is alive and furious.
I could just imagine thinking about owning this enslaved thunder and power.
Instigating: a work of art on four wheels.
This must have been the car that prompted the sayng:- " One Stroke - One Street - 1 Gallon" !
still one of my favorite videos of yours!
That sound is wonderful. I like it
Congrats! What a machine.... a real BEAST
I'd like to see a 56-liter V8.
Beautiful.
Any updates on the documentary film ? I’m so eager to watch it
Sorry to keep you waiting - life keeps getting in the way. Am going to try to finish it in January :)
@@StefanMarjoram good work takes time 🙏...this car stirs my soul as I’ve got a soft spot for fiats and aero engined cars
So it DID have an exhaust system at one time!
Fiat Auto-Mitragliadora ... estas mentes italianas não têm limites ... Sonido tricolore diavolizante !
call me crazy, but as soon as the engine fired up, I heard its voice screaming "I LIVE !!!!!"
Crazy 😂
Very neat! This vid is 4 yrs old, and this Beast of Turin just ran at Goodwood, a couple days ago...2019
splash Goodwood and Chateau Impney - but not Silverstone.
@@StefanMarjoram oh, i thought it did a lap at Silverstone...Yes, it was at Goodwood that i seen it then. What a machine!
Any news about the movie ? I am looking so much forward to see it !
What kind of starting mechanism does it have? Spring-loaded?
It has a trembler coil. You turn the handle to get compression, then push a button on the coil to make lots of sparks - and hopefully it springs into life! Duncan can now comfortably start it on the handle too. It’s not as ferocious as it was on that first day :)
I see Duncan wears a tie even when he’s in his workshop!
Whoever made that engine thought, “this will do it for sure”
@@Rlip but why stop at 28.3 litres? ;)
you know it's a serious engine when the water pump looks like a turbo
That top dead center noise lmaoooo soooo great
FIAT, all this when Enzo Ferrari was still a child and played with wooden wheels ❤
They should put this engine on Punto series...

Still not finished I'm afraid :(
I'm really happy when the old cars like The Beast of Turin are back to life.❤🩹🚘
were is the exhaust pipes, and YES it had them, look up wiki, you'll see it, looks and runs MUCH better with it

Holy crap.... that was awesome!
I'd love to see the version with the exhaust fitted.
better startup than a bugatti chiron
1:58 ... and you are telling me, you can't fire up your KTM 600 on kickstart?
Is there any intention to lengthen the exhaust or replicate the exhaust seen in the image at 2:38?
There is. The exhaust was originally something asked for by Count Sukhanov - so he could use it more comfortably on the road!
