Seriously, it's a German Goggomobile but this is the rare dive bomber model.

Very Interesting......

Cool video, needed to smoke those tires though... '22

That was great! Good old German engin-uity!! Seems like a lot of trouble to power a POS car though! Seems like he would have used a Mercedes or a Beamer as the platform for it.

After seeing all that motor. I was waiting for a wheel stand. I still think that motor needs more gearz.

one talented man. Excellent machining/

 

[Gastrick]

Crazy man. I wonder how he keeps the engine cool.

Was bad enough to try to put my 5'9" frame in the drivers seat of a stock Gogo. And this guy manages an aircraft engine & himself. Even more amazing is his tags have the TUV sticker on them. No state inspection here is even close to how tough a TUV vehicle inspection is.

1912 Verdel- another radial, would not want to jump a curb

driving!

I wondered what he was going to do for a transmission. I saw a video of this car last year, but he had yet to build the transmission - it ran, but that was all. Excellent work! Car reminds me of the Renault Dauphine/R8/R10's my dad had.

Notice that with enough torque (those radial engines have gobs!) no reduction gears were necessary - in fact, it is overdriven! And that is one big custom torque converter!

He is using a Voith Turbo T-coupling with a forward/nuetral/reverse system prob a direct drive to the axles. The T-cup flashes at a certain RPM, that particular one might flash around 1000 rpm. I use to work for that company and rebuilt hundreds of them....neat stuff.
