In this video you’ll see the car starting up its 6.0 liter V8 engine and driving around Villa d’Este so you get to see the car for a bit, as well as hear the engine sound! The engine displaces 370 cubic inches, and it makes a great sound from its front fender-exit exhaust pipes.

Grounding the slick design was pure hot-rod hardware: a NASCAR-derived 370 cubic-inch V-8 pumping out 405 horsepower. After the detroit auto-rama show 1966, the vivant 77 was forgotten about before resurfacing again in 2009 and being authentically restored to its original condition.
