I think spitfire is the most beautiful airplane ever constructed, check out the sounds of these merlin engines.

Not only is the merlin a great sounding engine, it also looks great.



I never realized how loved these engines were until I stumbled upon some land speed racing sites. People have squeezed 4000hp from this ~60 year old design!

Here's a 2500 hp one used in a Bonneville LSR car... yours for 50k:

(Short of course for "Sturtz Kampf Flugzeug" - but you knew that, you drive a derivative of the KDF wagen.)
