which aircraft engines of 39-45? apart from the Typhoon and Tempest which used a H formation 24 cylinder, the most successful engines of WW11 were radial engines…See Hawker Sea Fury, FW 190 Superfortress etc, Radials were perhaps the ndire of the Piston engine design. Lets see some new inovetive tech…all this has been done before.
@helstontvx I agree. Enthusiasts are bitching that they’ll miss the smell of gasoline and the sound of exhaust, but those are only triggers that they’re used to. When electric cars become standard people will learn to appreciate the whine of electric motor, instant torque, easy maintenance and low cost of operation.
@ScreamoVocalCover
My prove for that is just as absent as your prove for me being gay. I just look at all the IPCC scams from the last couple of months. It’s all exaggerated wishfull thinking of leftwing people, getting millions of subsidy, to create a common belief of something that isn’t true. B.t.w calling people fags isn’t helping conversations.
@dusp2k you sir are a fag…. do you have any backing to disprove global warming…? in makes sence. CO2 goes into the air. its trapped by the ozone (O3) and the CO2 blocks heat. which is a characteristic of CO2. therefor you are a fag…. stop thinking the gov is so bad you punk bitch
its not, especially when you consider how luxurious the veyron is. its clearly a road more than a racing car. you’re not about to see modified versions of this at le mans.
you’re not getting out of this quagmire, accept you’re wrong and move on.
You keep using the word “retarded” when referencing me and it’s something you really should consider calling yourself if you cannot understand what I’m saying. If you think that a 1000 hp engine with quad turbochargers running 15 psi boost and a 253 mph top speed with a 1.5 million dollar price tag isn’t a race car with a racing engine, then you’re far too stupid to understand that a lightly stressed big block Chevy would do the job.
Its more than that…I love a fat internal combustion engine but ultimately……their time is coming to an end.Eventually electric vehicles will evolve just as the internal combustion engine has….the current (no pun intended) issues of range will be overcome….and the instant torque of electric drive is very addictive.
@helstontvx
I think electric cars are lame and only exist because some government people say we must drive them for some mysterious climate reason which haven’t been proved.
Who’s talking about huge boost, chickendick? A properly built big-block (572 cubic inches) will get you there reliably with mild levels of boost and no exotic cooling requirements. This friggin’ motor has 488 cubic inches with FOUR turbochargers running 16psi boost that requires TEN radiators! An admirable technological achievement, but really overkill. Look at Nelson Racing Engines website – for $35,000-40,000 they could reliably build you 1000 hp/scare the shit out of you, punk
Its a lot of work….after 100+ years of piston engines I am looking forward to the next 100 years of Electric propulsion…just wish I was around to see what is to come, this is old old tech now…still admire it. Bristol sleeve valve aero engines…now your talking!
So am I. You think an 830 cubic inch motor is stressed making 1000 Hp? Not a chance; that thing is loafing, whereas the V W (I mean, Bugatti) needs four turbochargers and one hell of a lot of cooling equipment to make the same hp. Which do you think is in more danger of throwing a rod?
Don’t think this engine has anything to do with “safety”; rather, it is a display of technological prowess in keeping with the status of the marque. 16 cylinders are not necessary to safely make 1000 hp but it certainly is impressive. Remember the Cadillac “Sixteen” from 2003? 830 cubic inches of naturally aspirated American ingenuity that put out an easy 1000 hp – and made 20 mpg to boot. Love that motor/car – what a terrible thing GM didn’t/couldn’t produce it if just for that engine alone…
@beeroosterm, 1200 horsepower is much safer with 12 cylinders, only beeing 100 horsepower per cylinder. 1200 horsepower in a 8 cylinder creates much more stress and more chance of something breaking. 150 horsepower per cylinder. 16 cylinder is 75 horespower per cylinder at 1200 horsepower. Much safer.
What a fucking lump. Too cool, though. A thousand horsepower can be very reliably done without all those cams and pistons. I think a big block Chevrolet with a single turbocharger in a mild state of tune would do it. Why the fuck do they need four turbos, 16 cylinders, 48 valves, and 10,000 bolts? Wonder how much this engine costs? Could easily do it for $20,000 with a Chevy.

no they do not.

have to correct you there, IPCC is ‘scamming’ since ’96 I believe. :-p

@beeroosterm may be it is a racing car but at the same time as smooth and confortable as a rolls royce or bentley, since this car is all luxury too
a big power v8 may be a little rough comparing to a veyron, kicking like an angry donkey
@letmesnitch yeah with double the fuelconsumption
The W16 is a impressive motor and a work of art… Have to agree with some that a Big Block TT V8 does the job aswell
@beeroosterm

High Tech made in Germany.

lol nelson RACING engines… god you’re fucking retarded.

@beeroosterm
you’re a fucking retard. theres a reason why car companies dont put turbos or chargers with a huge boost on their cars: RELIABILITY. this isnt racing.
@beeroosterm, I’m not talking about that, you were talking about a chevy motor before. Anyway, the bugatti is a top speed car, not just a numbers car.
Its a lot of work….after 100+ years of piston engines I am looking forward to the next 100 years of Electric propulsion…just wish I was around to see what is to come, this is old old tech now…still admire it. Bristol sleeve valve aero engines…now your talking!

@beeroosterm, I am talking about the engine making that power safely without something going wrong, like throwing a rod through the side of the block.

i am going to completely disagree the extra weight of the engines can’t be worth it even if the v10 and v12 spool up quicker and sound nicer
