Amilcar with a Hispano aircraft engine.

This car is just beyond fabulous and sent me down a rabbit hole on the circa  1914 twelve litre Hispano Suiza engine.  Designed for WW1 aircraft, they ended up in cool stuff like this Amilcar.   

The owner in the video is as interesting as the car. I want to hang out with this guy.

The look, history, chain drive, sounds………….thanks for posting Shawn!

That is fantastic. Quite the menacing look with those cylinder heads hanging outside of the hood. I love looking at early racers because everybody was trying new and different ideas.
