Two-horspower collector's item (an automotive forerunner)

Automobiles were originally promoted as a clean alternative to the pollution then poisoning the cities. Just think what it would be like if every car was replaced by 2 horses.

The 2 horse power was improved by using higher calorific value fuel, as mentioned by WGJ. However, the tricky driver has had another tool to improve the instant performance by inserting a brocken red hot chilly in the exhaust opening(s).
100% guaranteed performance enhancer.
