...victories it has already won at Indianapolis, Le Mans and on the stock-car circuit. Constructed mainly of aluminum, with a single-plane crankshaft (instead of the usual V-8 two-plane shaft) that permits a simplified exhaust system, the engine took a year and a half to develop, and can actually be tuned, if desired, to put out as many as 420 horses...

Camus' L'Etranger is not a romantic story...
