Watch a Formula 1-engined Mercedes 190E in a Swiss Hill Climb

If there’s one thing wilder than a Hill Climb racer, it’s a Hill Climb racer powered by a Judd 3.5-liter V8 Formula 1 engine like the Mercedes 190E you’re about to watch in the video below. The 825-kilogram Benz produces in excess of 550 horsepower and can go through the twisty turns of a Swiss Hill Climb similarly to a train on rails. It is worth mentioning that the V8 engine is taken from a 1990 Brabham BT59 F1 car and is powerful enough to push the car from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.7 seconds.
