16 years later the car got a 21,7 liter big block aircraft engine. brutal! in the year 1924 the car
reached a maximum speed of 235 km/h. in the engine compartment you will find a sign which
shows all the records driven with the MEFISTOFELE. today this car is insured with about

this is BRUTUS with its unbelievable 46 liter V12 engine and 750 horsepower. the BMW aircraft
engine was built in 1925 and the AMERICAN-LA-FRANCE-AUTOMOBILE chassis 1908. for many
years experts from the technic museums in SINSHEIM and SPEYER, germany, built up this monster.
