Other sites on the web describe the engine used in the Brutus replica as a BMW 47-liter V-12 aircraft engine. Apparently the engine used was found in Spain.

The Engine is an BMW VI designed in the mid twenties and used within several aircraft between the wars. Find more information here:

Some information about the car is available via the following link, it is German but use of a translator will help:
