Here is another collosal beast .Métallurgique Maybach


The fearsome Métallurgique Maybach Special, the only one of its kind in the world, will be contending its formidable reputation in the Edwardian and Veteran Cars class, driven by experienced competitor and past president of the VCC, Brian Moore. Originally built in Belgium in 1907, the Métallurgique featured a 10-litre engine but was later modified to take a 1910 21-litre six-cylinder engine as used in the German Zeppelin airships. The story behind the modification goes that the car was raced by American David Bruce-Brown who was unhappy that the promise of 100mph was not achieved. The car was then returned to manufacturer Métallurgique and the engine was changed to honour the pledge with the new engine developed to deliver 1,000lbs of torque at 1,000rpm. - See more at: Métallurgique Maybach Special to Compete at Chateau Impney Hill Climb, Droitwich
