C'mon, just look at the thing! The seats come out and double as lawn chairs for Christ's sake. That's not safe.

C'mon, speak with European people
It's was 1 of the first car for everybody, impossible to flip it

A face only a mother could love.



I have a picture somewhere of one on the Nürburgring. I'll try to dig it up.

Franzosich scheisse.

Cadillac made V-16's in the earlier years of the twentieth century. And I think we forgot to add the Gas Turbine and Hybrid configurations. :/

Ahah! But c´mon Verruct, give the little car a break! It´s a pre-war design, made for economy and low price. Don´t be "Foolish".

Who made a v-5? I don't even see how that could be remotely balanced. Inline-5's are great tho. You also forgot the flat/boxer 16, I forget who made the engine tho. My lawn mower has a 1 cylinder 4 stroke engine too.

Well I'll be damned. Leave it upto those crazy germans to do it. I think now I remember reading a little about this engine, although I thought it was just a concept or something.

Yeah, thats it, 11CV and others. Those were hard to flip.

What about the "star type engines", those airplane engines wich the cylinders are displaced in a circule, like the ones on 1st World War and on early 2nd Worls War aircrafts.
