Grifo 7 Litri competition

@ Mental: That 7.0 liter big block engine is something serious. Even though American muscle cars didn't handle well, they had the most powerful automobile engines in the world at that time, so it's no surprise that European sports car manufacturers wanted to put American engines in some of their cars. Examples: Facel Vega, Jensen Interceptor, DeTomaso Pantera, and most famously AC Cobra.

An even more monsterous version of the Iso Grifo. The huge 427 engine was taken from the Vette. That was furiously fast, Ferrari-fighter. Even American muscles had to be beware of this brutal majesty.
Top speed - 275 hph; 0-60 mph - 6.1 sec; 1/4 mile - 13.9 sec.
