| In 1932 when the 4 cylinder 1100 and 1500 cc engines began to show so much promise work began on two engines, one a 2000 cc with a stroke of 98 mm and the 2500 cc with a stroke of 112 mm. The cylinder block of the 2500 cc with its fixed heads and thus fused in sets of two was extracted from the 2000 cc by a simple increase in bore - from 80 mm to 84 mm. Only one engine (No 2012) delayed until 1934 was built, but it had a varied life. In 1934 it was first placed into an old 2-seater sports frame but set up for circuit racing and therefore earned the designation 4C 2500. In this form Taruffi drove it in the 1934 Monaco Grand Prix and then with Zehender at the Montreux. Afterward (still in 1934) the engine was mounted in a single-seat frame for Villapadierna and thereby earned its 4CM designation. | |||||
