The Beast of Turin

December 3, 2014

This video has quickly spread over the interweb, but it is worth several repeat viewings!

A quick montage of scenes from a forthcoming film documenting the restoration of the Fiat S76, otherwise known as The Beast of Turin, a legendary former land speed record holder. The short video culminates in the firing up of The Beast’s massive 28-litre four-cylinder engine, the first time it has run in over 100 years!

To learn a bit more about The Beast’s restoration and see some fantastic photographs and artwork, follow the link below to the website The Old Motor to see their coverage of the project since 2011, as well as the photography and sketches of the incredibly talented Stefan Majoram (who also happens to be making the film!)
