Mercedes Benz DB 605 Aircraft Engine Part 2 "IT'S ALIVE!!"

Mercedes Benz DB 605 A1 Aircraft Engine Part 2.

This engine was made at the Mercedes Benz factory in Berlin in 1942. Later that year it was shot down by a Spitfire in Belgium. Displacement: 35.7 litres, 1 gallon of petrol per minute, 1475 horse power, 4 valves per cylinder, fuel injection, supercharger, all aluminium and magnesium construction. 1 horse power per pound weight.

Sports cars didn't make these advancements in their engines until the 1980s!!

This engine is 99% original and is the only operating one in the world with the same parts as the day it was shot down. It is important to preserve this engine as we won the war.

This engine is available for hire for functions or film/TV companies which helps with its continued restoration.
