Head to the London Concours next month and you'll see the record-breaking Fiat S76, better known as the Beast of Turin, amongst a host of other cars.
Powered by a massive 28.5-litre inline-four engine – the largest purpose-built car engine ever – this 300bhp land speed record car achieved 116mph over one mile in 1911.
It was later unofficially recorded at an even higher speed of 135mph, but this run was discounted as it didn't complete its return leg.
One of a pair, this car is now the only Fiat S76 land speed record car left, as the manufacturer dismantled the other example soon after WW1, and it's recently undergone a decade-long restoration.
The Beast of Turin will be joined by other rare, pre-war models that were some of the quickest of their day, including a 1924 Bentley 4.5-litre, a 1932 Bugatti Type 55 and a 1935 Lagonda M35R.
Other classic cars set to appear at the event include a Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing, a McLaren F1 and a Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evo.
The London Concours comes to the Honourable Artillery Company on 7-8 June 2018. Find out more and buy tickets on the event website.
