" Press L for Large on Black "

 

IL TEMPO GIGANTE from the movie FLÅKLYPA GRAND PRIX , (PINCHCLIFFE GRAND PRIX)

The car have two engines one turbine(back), and one piston(500+hp front).

The piston engine (7L 8cylinder Chevrolet), was a gift from Formel-1 driver

NIKI LAUDA.

The turbine engine is too noisy and powerfull, so is not in use.

Max speed 325 km/h.

0-100km/h in 6 sec.

Weight=3.0 ton. Lenght=6.70m Width=2.48m

Max hp(two engines)=1600hp. Buildt on a Cadillac-chassis.

A monster car, and a real masterpiece.

The car is buildt after drawings from Kjell Aukrust. By Bjarne Sandemose and the Italian race car manefacturer: Martinuzzi.

The car was the winner in Flåklypa Gand Prix(Pinchcliffe Grand Prix movie 1975).

 

I would say the movie is one of all time top Norwegian movie. This is the sort of movie thats still entertaining no matter what your age is:)

 

Intro goes:

100 miles north, a bit east and up, is Flåklypa...

home of bicycle repairman Reodor Felgen and his two assistants (seen in front on the car)- Solan Gundersen, morning bird and natural born optimist, and Ludvig who is a true pessimist.

Sponsored by oil sheik Ben Redic Fy Fazan, they build the car "Il Tempo Gigante" and the race of the decade is a fact.
