Hear a 28.5-liter land speed record car fire up for the first time in 100 years

From now on, if ever anyone describes their car to me as a beast I'll answer with utter certainty: "No it isn't."

This is the "Beast of Turin," or what's officially known as the Fiat S76. Two examples were built from 1910 to 1911, with horsepower reaching a staggering 300. It was designed to claim the title as "world's fastest car" from the Blitzen-Benz, and it did so by completing a certified out-and-back run of 116 mph.

What's more beastly, however, is that it boasted a highly-advanced 28.5-liter engine — and now, for the first time in roughly 100 years, it's been massaged back to life.
