Milano-Franchini Meanwhile in Italy, a project technically similar to that of Bugatti took shape, as it had a transversely mounted engine behind the driver in common with Colombo’s design. It was developed at the same slow speed as well. First started in 1952, the second coming of the Scuderia Milano’s chassis aspirations only gathered speed in 1955, the Ruggeri brothers’ outfit being hampered by lack of funds. Having teamed up with local powerboat engineer Mario Speluzzi in 1949 for their first ‘design of their own’ – which were in fact Maserati 4CLT/48 chassis and engines heavily revised by Speluzzi, later followed up by new chassis with adapted suspension layouts – they now found another local engine designer in the person of Enrico Franchini.
Franchini’s eight-cylinder engine for the 2.5-litre formula would be air-cooled, and placed on its side, with its head pointing towards the driver’s back! The engine’s remarkable dimensions were under-square at 72x76.5mm but still the unit was projected to produce over 300hp at 9000rpm. The canted engine mounting caused the eight Dell’Orto motorcycle carburettors to be working from the top of the engine while the exhausts dramatically swooped towards the rear. The gearbox and final drive were combined in a single device, in similar vein to the Bugatti’s, and connected directly to the engine’s cranks. This allowed for a compact chassis design, that was never completed before the Ruggeris had to call off their number ‘2’ late 1955.
Damnit. My fog lights just quit working. Do you think it is just a bulb???
Because racecar. FOUR V12s here:
