Oh I know there are engines of that kind of size. Just something about that photo feels wrong. Probably just me

I think it’s the machining. This has the same feel

did I read that right, it's a 2 stroke engine ??

Lots of two stroke diesels out there. Many US trucks and most railway engines are.

Not distributed in the UK either.
Anyway, unless it was built when Ferruccio was in charge, it’s not a real Lambo in my book.
So the only choice is to import a vintage one from (usually) Italy. I got lucky, mine’s a 1968 with one Italian owner from new (prior to me).

Seems like a business in that, too...

Yours is gorgeous!

Two strokes produce significantly more power for the size. They’re not really the equivalent of the petrol two stroke in your hedge trimmer. They have separate oil supply, valved heads or sleeve valves etc.

Yes! Thanks! The interference patterns just seem too big. I mean I'm still probably wrong but.....

I’ve a customer who has a brand new built replica of one of those. It’s epic.

Maurice Trintignant GP de France 1956.
Never realised the motor was transverse.

that's bizarre and complicated, is that 2 lumps together

I think it only raced once. One engine but centre cam drive.

some of the reps are superbly engineered, think they use the the standard Audi coupe shell because the windscreen rake is the same and then shortened, quite a bit of fabrication

There’s a couple of companies that do it properly by starting with half an 80 and half a Coupe like Audi did.
