That thing is phenomenally smooth considering the displacement and how fast its revving.

pistons like 7 L buckets...

Most cars back then were like that, and it's a car, not a work of art 🤦🏽

A Model T misbehaving when you're cranking will break your thumb. I'd imagine the Beast would just straight-up delete you.

I wouldn't wear a necktie within a meter of this thing

I would imagine a compression release lever is there somewhere. When rotated it pushes down on the exhaust rocker, lifting the exhaust valve off its seat a bit. Old Caterpillar engines with the pop motor starter had those. Even at -50°C you could get the pop engine running and let it warm up a bit. Meanwhile check fluid levels, fill fuel tank and release compression. Starter gear in low and engage the clutch. Now the diesel is turning over without fuel injection and the starter engine exhaust ran through a pipe in the intake manifold to help preheat the intake air. Then you could sit in the truck and have a coffee from your thermos. This is getting the thick oil warmed up and pumping. Now go out and change to high gear in the starter and go have another coffee. After about 10 minutes more or so the diesel is loosening up, so you can climb up and push the throttle lever ahead to idle fuel position. The diesel will start poping in the exhaust and blowing smoke rings. Eventually it will kick the starter bendix out. Turn the starter engine fuel off and shift to neutral. Idle the starter down and let it run out of fuel to let the float drop and not bounce and flood the starter engine. The float bouncing would hammer the needle and seat out. Left the diesel warm up some more before hoing to work.

Most cars in europe have manual because the automatic versions are too expensive

Both true

Only in America people cant drive a regular gearbox car😂

Fake and gay. (if she really did say that its still gay)

​@gillespriod5509 That is not true at all . You have to order a car with a manual transmission from the factory it takes months to get the car. Corvette comes with a paddle shifter manual very spendy .

I'm upvoting because of the gay innuendo...

I believe it has a spring starter of some kind storing the energy than letting it go to turn the beast over.

@@michaelhartzell9758 Yes, I'm very curious about that.

Thankfully for the many of us whom this car is out of reach for, there is a dev team of modders for Assetto Corsa that is working on immortalizing the car in the sim. Historic Sim Studios have done the 3d renders but now it's a matter of optimization, physics and sounds.

@@legoferrari14 it’s been tried before but never come to light, the only problem is animating the drive chain from the engine to the axel! Let’s hope the version you are on about makes it to the game, if you need physics for this I’d be more than willing to write them up if you can point me in the direction of where to contact the modders making the project

This is NOT a Seat. Mind your punny typo's. Nine out of ten are not able to read what they just wrote. Let alone edit a typo.

@@voornaam3191 says the one who edited his typos.

Hand crank 1700 cubic inches.

Each cylinder is a sink

What's the compression ratio , I assume extremely low .

Red or white?

what a machine indeed!

Look up other videos of it, of the left hand side, NO exhaust NOTHING just two holes watch closely you can see the valve stems in this BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!

I simply LOVE those Italians, for selling a TWO cylinder engine Fiat 500. The four cylinders are very very very boring.

A man of culture

You do have to pull it into compression before it can fire from cold

Tutti hanno fatto la loro parte, chi più...chi meno. Forse Fiat ha anche sfruttato le industrie rubate ai Borbone che era a quel tempo la terza potenza al mondo. Hanno fatto in modo da distruggere anche la fabbrica di motociclette avviata negli anni della II guerra mondiale nella provincia di VV e che dava fastidio alla concorrenza perché troppo buone... Fiat imparò presto a distruggere gli avversari con quei mezzi.

Cranks to get fuel into cylinders then trips buzz coil ignition. Engine then fires and runs. Model T can do this with the buzz coils.

@@nevm3619 Is there a compression release mechanism to make the monster size engine easier to crank?

As soon as a modern f1 car gets around this, the race is over. A modern F1 car handles corners better, has better acceleration, higher top speed, better brakes, more responsive throttle, and on tracks, better lap times. You wouldn't have to really consider this car as more than an obstacle on the track. If all of them were in cars from the same era as this, it would probably wipe the floor with them.

@@vipervidsgamingplus5723 Did you work that out all on your own? Well done!

Chain drive and no cowl. Didn't Parry Thomas die when his chain drive snapped and decapitated him?

That's no use. The medieval 21st century people still use their local stone as a reference. You need to check in which state they are, to convert their medieval units to metric. Most annoying.

First In Any Trial

@@studiocalder818 Except for the trial of 1970’s Chicago street’s. I know of one that failed that trial miserably.

I thought 2nd seat is for the coal shoveler.

Believe it or not this is a fiat.

@@christopherd2100 can't be. They actually got it to run.🤣

Could you please expand on that?

@@ingvarhallstrom2306 Sure. That engine was at the Capetti Collection in Turin under the responsability of the Politecnico of Turin, On the 2nd of march2005 that engine was borrowed ( Why?????For a restoration that should be involve the Bath University) to Duncan that gave back , on 11 of decembre of 2006 , a not working replica. Unfortunately only In 2016 a certain Leonardo Sordi discovered that that engine wasn't the orignal one; an expertise certified that was only a replica ,a really good replica , made of brass ; for making more difficult bolts unscrewieng was used a special glue, there wasn't any signs of usury and dimensions were bigger than the original .Carabinieri invetigated but too many years were passed and for the lawsuit was too late.

@@Kaghemsuha Interesting. I want to know more about this. It would be interesting of they opened up a full investigation.

@@Kaghemsuha Well regardless , at least the engine is up and running and beeing used rather than just collecting dust in a collection ..

Even the Piedmontese are thieves and have plundered southern Italy, the Kingdom of Naples, of all its riches. They carried out massacres and raids that nobody wants to talk about now and they called it "unification of Italy"

Yeah as of now this isn’t true.

@@johncfalk Its not so easy, sadly also China dictates the end of use of all combustion cars worldwide. Its not about the environment....Chinas boss Darth Xi told most politicians that they wont do any business with underdeveloped countries that still allow CO2 emitting traffic, aircrafts, ships or combustion based industry after 2030...I am sure USA and UK also will be forced by China to 100% electric traffic because today no industrialized country can afford sanctions by China.... China just rules the world and wants to sell lithium and e cars...:-(

This will never happen in the poor parts of the EU. In Bulgaria and in the Balkans in general, we still drive Euro 1 and 2 cars. We will drive cars with ICE for at least another 50 years. Petrol engines can run on natural gas. The conversation is affordable. Nobody can deprive millions from motorisation.

Your information is incorrect, the sale of brand new ICE cars will be banned but expect them to still be buzzing around well into 2050

@@benjimc1 well the greens and China just dont accept combustion vehicles after 2030, the female vice president of Friday for future Mrs Reemtsma stated that FFF cant garantee that there wont be fanatic climate activists shooting their pumpguns on motorists using the german Autobahn if the people do not stop using ICE cars quickly.... Now tell me who wants to die using an ICE car because of FFF terrorists?
