The Napier Railton is a pretty classic car no body even thinks about.

Built as a one off race car she is quite the looker and mover.

Powered by the aircraft grade Napier Lion, a W12, 24 litre engine with a signature growl.

She probably would be hard to find parts for in the wasteland, just like thr triclops... especially since its a one off race car... but it could be fun to make it a specialty car like the Kart. Maybe some kind of timewarp or special event...

Here is the engine specs from Wikipedia

"The car is powered by the high compression version (6.1:1) (RAF specification) of the naturally aspirated Napier Lion, a W12 of 23.944 litres (1,461 cu in) capacity, producing 580 bhp (433 kW) at 2585 revolutions per minute (recorded at 5,000 ft [1,500 m] – performance at ground level may be different), and 1,250 lb⋅ft (1,695 N⋅m) of torque. The 12 cylinders are in three banks of four (broad-arrow configuration), hence the triple exhaust system, and the engine has standard aerospace features such as dual magneto ignition. The non-synchromesh crash gearbox (named for the horrible noises caused by a mis-shift) has 3 ratios. The fuel tank, located in the boat-tail behind the driver, has a capacity of 65 imp gal (300 L; 78 US gal), fuel consumption was approximately 5 mpg‑imp (56 L/100 km; 4.2 mpg‑US)."

actually funnely enough the Tucker 48 (triclops in this game) is an aero engineered car becuase it is powered by a flat 6 helicopter engine
