....8.8 liters?

I think this could be the only car that I know (or recall off the top of my head) that has an engine that's actually bigger than the car itself. Especially when that said car only weighs 800 kilos.

What a trio of numbers: 800 kilos, 800 horses, and 8.8 liters of pushrod magnificence.

Might want to check out some pre-war cars, with 25 liters or more. :D
