摘要

IT IS SAID that the Rolls-Royce V-12, liquid-cooled Merlin engine won the Battle of Britain for England and helped to win World War Ⅱ for the Allies. It is considered one of the greatest piston engines ever built and was the beating heart of most British warplanes including the Avro Lancaster, the de Havilland Mosquito, the Hawker Hurricane, and the Supermarine Spitfire. It also powered the North American P-51 Mustang. Jay Leno, famed comedian and television host, is a serious student of the history and technology of engines and automobiles. He currently operates three of the "Mighty Merlins." These are part of his incredible collection of 372 antique cars and motorcycles, all of which are registered and street legal. His rarest is a 1925 American Doble Steam powered Car that belonged to Howard Hughes and could reach 132.5 mph. He even has a 1999 Y2K jet-powered motorcycle that can reach 237 mph. The 1400-degree Fahrenheit exhaust from the turbine engine can melt the front end of a car that pulls up too close behind him at a traffic light. (This actually happened.) The bike has a turboshaft engine that develops 350 shaft horsepower.
