Last week I mentioned that a British pre-WWII car had a 7.34 liter V12 engine and developed about 170 bhp. I asked what car was it found in? It was the Rolls-Royce Phantom III. Just by looking at the numbers, with over seven liters only producing 170 bhp, no wonder the engine could live forever as it was completely under stressed. To get 100 bhp per liter these days is quite commonplace.
So to this week. What favored hot rod was immortalized by the Beach Boys?
