This is the one-off Gaggenau Rolls Royce which I filmed at multiple occasions in Switzerland. This 1930s-style racing car is powered by a prewar 1934 V12 Rolls-Royce aircraft engine with a displacement of 27 Liters and a power output of somewhere between 800 and 1,000 horsepower. The Gaggenau-chassis is from 1911. Louis Frey who built this car estimates, that he has put ca. 3000 hours of work in this project to assemble a vehicle like the ones used 90 years ago in high-speed races over one, 100 and 1000 miles... and it is the car with the largest engine displacement that nowadays can be seen in Switzerland on the road.
