Fiat 1730 cubic inch four cylinder making 290hp (@900rpm) built to claim the land speed record from the Blitzen-Benz. Wonder about the torque...

 
Let me sharpen my stick and scratch in the sand for a few minutes.........DING. 900 rpm(!) and 290 hp = 1693 ft/lb of torque within ± a few pounds of feet

That torque will be needed to run the FJR's new 10 KW stator.

Oh man. I can hear it now, "This bike is shooting flames out the sides. It's melting my flip-flops and singeng my leg hair when I wear shorts.

You guys thought VW had to pull some shenanigans to pass emissions, this will be king! Haha...

The Beast of Turin

An outrageous creation that debuted in the early 1910s, the Tipo (Type) S76 was built by the Fiat factory in Turin presumably to break the world’s Land Speed Record, which then stood at 125.95 mph. The chassis was a flimsy 1907/08 Fiat production unit with a Tipo S76DA six-cylinder airship engine of 28.4 liters (1,730 cu. in.), which developed 300 hp at 1,900 rpm.

Standing about five feet high at the radiator cap, the frighteningly top-heavy car was referred to as The Beast of Turin. Except for a brief appearance in England at the Brooklands racecourse, where it was timed at about 90 mph, it never made an impact on any records and was returned to the continent to be lost during the confusion of World War I."

 
You won't save any weight with aftermarket pipes.

Headers? Who needs 'em?
