Brutus

Brutus is an experimental car, created by mating a 1907 chassis to a V12 aero engine from the first World War with a total cylinder volume of 47 litres and a power of 405 kW.

 

It is exhibited in a rather dark room in the museum. shot this with the camera on a tripod at f/5.6 and an exposure time of several seconds. I just guessed the exposure time, what with reciprocity failure and all that, I balked at computing it. Apparently my guess wasn't far off.

 

From time to time they take this monster for a spin on the racetrack. To see a film with Jeremy Clarkson test-driving Brutus (or is it Brutus driving Jeremy Clarkson?), click ---> here
