Judging by the name, a huge 27-liter V12 Rolls-Royce Meteor engine, borrowed from the British Centurion tank, was placed in the engine compartment. The power unit was tested on a dyno, where an output of 631 horsepower and a colossal torque of 1965 N·m were recorded.
It is clear that such a massive engine adds weight, so the car with a lightweight aluminum body weighs as much as 2200 kg. At the same time, it can accelerate to 328 km/h, although narrow tires do not allow it to go faster than 220 km/h.
The Meteor 27-litre V12 Special looks like it came off the screens of films about the 30s, but in fact it was created in 2001. The three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and disc brakes were borrowed from the Jaguar XJ12.
This car has already managed to participate in several road rallies across the UK. Auction organizers expect to get from 170 to 230 thousand euros for it.
