After seeing the Rolls Royce go, let`s take a closer look to the engine! We are talking about the famous Merlin. For those who are not familiar with this motor, it is a British V12 piston aero engine with a 27 liter capacity. To prove you that this is not `small of a deal`, we would like to inform you that the PV12 engine also known as the Merlin, was used by the “Fairey Battle”, “The Hawker Hurricane” as well as by the “Supermarine Spitfire” which were all WW2 fighter aircrafts! In the video we are sharing with you guys today, we are shown an engine that is identical to the Rolls Royce Merlin, known as the Rover Meteor engine. Seeing this engine spitting fire from its cylinders from up close is quite a sight!
Let us take you back to Germany, where couple of mechanics are trying a magnificent motor out called Panzermotor Rover Meteor which is almost identical like the Merlin. After the video shooter introduces us well with the motor as he shows the engine from close ranges – they try to start it! We can hear the familiar sound we are used to hear when it comes to Rolls Royce Merlin! We do not want to waste your time any longer! Dear friends and Rolls Royce fans, take a closer look of the Merlin by simply clicking on the footage bellow and prepare to be filled with joy! It would have been a bit better to try testing out the Rover Meteor engine, just to see how fast a vehicle can be with it! Nonetheless, we were more than convinced that this is one very potent engine! Enjoy it folks, all the best!
