Take a look at this Bentley 8 Litre chassis coupled with a Packard V12 1500 hp marine engine from a PT boat

Imagine trying to build the smallest possible, aerodynamically sound, car around that engine.

... and fitting it with a supercharger.

... the Packard 4M-2500 had a supercharger ... and it (the whole engine) weighed nearly 3000 pounds.

Here you have also plenty of flames around the engine.

Well I can only give you a rough translation of the titel "Burning Zero" as I have the movie in the original Japanese version.
It is about the development of the Zero until its end when Japan surrendered.
That scene in the video is supposed to show the destruction of the A6M7 which the Japanese rather destroyed than have handed it over after their surrender.
The movie came out 1984.
