Rodzilla Is A 1928 Studebaker Powered By A Tank Engine
Rebuilding of brokedown vintage and classic cars is a common practice carried out by enthusiasts. Most people believe in restoring old cars back to their original state. But there are always exceptions to common practices.
Meet Rodzilla. A vintage, 1928 Studebaker that is powered by a 29 liter! engine that once powered M47 and M48 World War II battle tanks.
The people who built Rodzilla found an abandoned 1928 Studebaker body under a tree. They happened to have the spare air-cooled 29 liter, V12 engine from a M47/M48 battle tank and so decided to experiment by mounting the engine on a truck chassis and the Studebaker body on top.
Rodzilla is a 1,400 HP monster, but the scarier part is the torque (unspecified) generated by the engine. It must be monumental because it is supposedly so high that it has broken the vehicle apart several times.
The massive amount of torque, together with how much ever Rodzilla weights (unspecified, once again) creates another problem. Once it gets going stopping the beast is no easy task. Special brakes had be employed, along with tyres from Yokohama that are generally used by large construction vehicles.
Rodzilla is not a sluggish brute as you might think. It is actually capable of sprinting a distance of 400 meters in just 11 seconds. And you might be interested to know that Rodzilla's engine returns 1.488 km/l.
