The Riva/Lambo has Two 244 cubic inch V-12s. I think comparing the two is a bit of a stretch..don't you agree..??  NB |
Yeah, it's a stretch, but these Lambo engines—with dual overhead cams and Webers were the pinnacle of internal combustion development, coming 25 years
after the PT boat.
• Thanks, btw, for that video.
The four holes in the Riva's sides reminds me of the 60's

• Just past the halfway point through the Riva/Lambo video, there's a neat volcano in the background. It'd be nice if Lake Winnipesaukee had one as a conversation piece.
Oh wait—we do!
