It is from the factory museum. I do not think it has been run in a long long time. The project did not go anywhere since the engine was too long and heavy so Mark Donohue said the car did not handle well. The turbo 12 put out more power so they focused on getting the drivability and reliability out of the 12.

Donohue thought the 16 cylinder could be turbocharged to 2000 horsepower "if needed".
