Bell Aurens Longnose, A Land Rover With Over 1,500 HP
What would a Land Rover look like if it had a 27-litre supercharged V12 engine, the Merlin, produced by Rolls-Royce to power an airplane, with over 1,500 hp? What if it also had an yatch like tail, like classic cars from the 1930’s, and were a roadster, or, even better, an off-roadster? You don’t have to force your imagination to figure it out, since Thomas Bell, the founder of Bell Aurens, has materialised this idea - called Longnose.

They are closer to the original idea - nevertheless V12 have a similar tradition with cars of British origin and thus will be available on demand.
