This thing had a V-12 engine, but the most amazing part was that you didn't really realize how BIG it was until you stood next to it. A normal roadster would be waist- to chest-height, but you had to stand on tiptoes to see over the cowl of this thing!
On his visit this month, Prakash mentioned that Mike had put a lot of work into Bertha and was taking her to car shows. While I was aware that Mike was planning on cutting off the first version of the boat-tail backend of the 'car', I was very impressed today after Googling up the Blastolene web site and finding the end results of the newest modifications:
I am amazed, awed and envious, all at once!
While you are on the Blastolene web site, be sure to also check out the Blastolene Special, a ground-up fabrication powered by a M47 Patton Tank V12 engine putting out 1000 h.p. - 1500 ft. lbs. of torque!!! Woah!
