Fiat S.76 engine

The Fiat S.76 engine is the very large four-cylinder petrol engine that Fiat designed in 1910 for the S.76 land speed record car, later known as the Beast of Turin. Its cylinders measured 190 by 250 millimetres for a displacement of 28,353 cubic centimetres, and it was rated at about 290 metric horsepower at 1,400 rpm, with water cooling, a Bosch high-voltage magneto and two spark plugs per cylinder. Two car engines were built in 1910 and 1911, and Fiat then built a similar engine with three valves and three spark plugs per cylinder for the Forlanini airships between 1912 and 1913. In November 2014 a team led by Pittaway returned the surviving engine to working order, and the car ran again at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in June 2015.
