It powered that car ?
Discussion
Inspired by the “They drove that car ?” thread a diversion into unusual/crazy donkeys powering relatively conventional carts.
I’ll start with a couple of boat-engined favourites.
The late Peter Voigt in the 500cc Renwick Voigt hillclimb special. In a class that existed to allow the old 1950’s Cooper/Kieft etc 500 cars to compete along came Peter ( a violin maker) with a converted F4 chassis with a 500cc Konig outboard engine. It blew all the old stuff into the weeds and, yes, it did sound like a swarm of angry bees..
The ADA 02 GpC car. Like most of its contemporaries it usually ran with a DFV but they did trial & run a low revving fuel efficient 5.8 Litre Bonner V6 marine engine.
There are plenty of others out there, I’m thinking 10 Litre Le Mans engines, snowmobile auxilaries, gas turbine hill climb cars etc etc. Over to you…
