Fascinating!

My book says it had an Alfa-Romeo liquid-cooled V12 (a licensed copy of the Diamler-Benz inverted V-12 engine used in the BF-109E-1) developing 1075hp and capable of 595kph/370mph...Impressive for the beginning of the War...

Oooh!!! Here's a video showing the C.200 Machi 'Saetta' (in the opening) - radial engined & comparatively slow [313mph], but really cool looking!!!
