tazzieman Posted 1June, 2017 Report Share Posted 1June, 2017 Two engines always better than one! http://jalopnik.com/this-24-cylinder-lamborghini-powered-speedboat-is-the-b-1442406694 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANF Posted 1June, 2017 Report Share Posted 1June, 2017 A normal V8 fills most engine bays, how wide will the car need to be to accommodate that? The length and weight of it too, not going to be anything spritely....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted 1June, 2017 Report Share Posted 1June, 2017 Something like that would have to be mid mounted I would say and it would be a heavy engine no doubt a standard LS is around 220 kg,,,,,still and interesting concept and thumbs up for him creating something different ,,,,at what would be a modest budget compared to what popular car manufactures would spend on engine R & D ..

Redracn Posted 1June, 2017 Report Share Posted 1June, 2017 At half the weight, same power, more torque with way better packaging a compact supercharger on one engine makes more sense. This guy must really hate chassis designers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MFX Posted 2June, 2017 Report Share Posted 2June, 2017 I think you would have to call that an X16 wouldn't you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9fan Posted 2June, 2017 Report Share Posted 2June, 2017 Just use an F16 engine ! I have seen one at Avalon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 2June, 2017 Report Share Posted 2June, 2017 It's more of a W16- remembering the German pronunciation for W is 'double V'. I have no idea why English says 'double U' for what is clearly two V's together. A character like UU would be 'double U', not VV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeM Posted 2June, 2017 Report Share Posted 2June, 2017 Either way, it's a bit of a WOFTAM. Took me a sec to work out what that meant, yet agreed once I had!
