  • Hermann Layher's “Brutus” is probably the most dangerous car in the world. It has almost as much horsepower as a Formula One car, but its delicate body is that of a classic car. This car doesn’t have any other high tech either - but it still spits fire. Brutus actually belongs to a museum but every now and then he gets a chance to spin his wheels outdoors.

    On the high-speed oval of the Bosch test track in Boxberg, Welshman Roger Collings reached a speed of 200 km/h in 2007/08. Since Collings, no one has dared to do this again.

    I think it's extremely poetic to say "the sky is the limit" to describe the performance of a car powered by an engine designed for aircraft... it's probably why that thing wants to kill anyone that drives it: it wants to be in the sky! 😂

      'Brutus' would make the world Formula 1 champion mess himself in fright.
      Herr Lahyer should ship the car to the USA and thence to Bonneville Salt Flats.

      That is it...precisely. The engine was idle and with no Heinkel to put it in there's a certain logic to putting it on wheels. The spark plug fouling is a perennial issue when an old a/c engine is put in a car. They really want to run at steady RPM without constant revving up and down, so you do get problems. The biggest barrier to exceeding 100 or 120mph is the tyres. Also a day with no wind would be vital. Probably best no-one tries, really. It's a concept car that they can wheel out and wheelspin to generate funds for the museum.

    the front of the these cars were so long that the driver couldn't see the road right so this driver back in the 30s was driving and used to look out the side but one day he looked right when the chain snapped taking his head off😬

    They have taken the most powerful engine there is and put it on a ridiculously outdated and ill equipped chassis with tires narrower than my bicycle and then they expect to extract a lot of speed from it. This is both crazy and stupid. Mostly stupid!

    It's not a car. Cars don't have airplane engines, and cars usually have brakes.

      The first winner of the Indy 500 race in the US uses a Curtiss airplane engine taken straight off a JN-4 Jenny. And steam-powered cars exists. And electric cars exists. Just because there are cars that uses non car engines doesn't mean they're not cars...
