Tatra 613
NS Dev - 17/8/07 at 07:26 PM

Anybody know of any in the UK?

I'm interested in engine info for the later tatra aircooled v8's, dawned on me the other day they are probably pretty light, which might make them an interesting prospect.

Would probably need a trip in a van to Czech to pick up a load of spares but just wondered!!

In case you are wondering what the hell I'm on about:

....................somebody is obviously racing one!!!!!...........

race tatra v8!!


and they look almost locost sized, certainly smaller than a rover, especially when you consider they are air cooled so no rads etc.......

you don't fancy selling the engine and box out of it do ya????

I'm just going off at a tangent as usual thinking thet maybe a pair of fiat 126 grassers, one with the tatra motor and one with the twin v twins might be interesting!!

Man, that's old stuff.

Aircooled with carbs and coil injection!
And in the back of the car!

Perfect!!!

It needs to go in the rear of the grasser!!!

It needs to be light, have lots of torque, have no radiator to block up.

The later 613 v8's appear to be quad cam, and are certainly 220hp in std form in the road cars.

MikeR - 17/8/07 at 07:50 PM

ps its only 100 - 120bhp in standard form!

check the 813 out,its a 17500cc V12 air cooled diesel with 8 wheel drive

[Edited on 17/8/07 by theconrodkid]

yep, seems they had 4.3 litre quad cam aircooled v8's in 1999 when they stopped production!

no no no, one of these for goodness sake!!!!


and no Mike, the old T603 engine was that power but the 1995 quad cam was 220hp in 3.5 litre form as std, dunno what the later 4.3 was??

ReMan - 17/8/07 at 08:19 PM

There's a 603 that lives in Hinckley!
I love it, in a anything different is good fashion.
But as above only about 100Hp

There was a company in Towcester that imported and tweaked them a bit, always seemed nice cars to me.

wow trip to Chezc republic and major scrapyard raid looks to be in order! with late engines at 220bhp stock how much could you get with bike carbs and megajolt? the late transaxle looks good for some nice midi machinery as well!

Still parked outside his house at the moment, along with the VW Transporter that he's been trying to shift for a while.


Edited as he's sold the thing...........
