The Beast of Turin, Fiat S76 at Chateau Impney hill climb


The Fiat S76, later also known as Fiat 300 HP Record and nicknamed "The Beast of Turin", was a car built in 1910 by the Italian company Fiat specifically to beat the land speed record held in those years by the Blitzen Benz. Its 28,353 cc displacement engine delivered 290 hp. Only two examples were built. This one was recommissioned by Duncan Pittaway and appears at events up and down the UK.
