thats why i like SSC, they got more street legal/emissions legal Hp out of a V8 with 2 less turbos, making it lighter and more fuel efficient. an SSC ultomate aero can hit speeds around 257mph and still gets 19mpg driving with cruise control on the hwy.
ahha everyone is saying fuck youtube just because they mute a few videos....but yet they just click on another video to watch and keep coming back to the website everyday
Lord's playing on the Made In Japan Child In Time is phenomenal, absolute perfection. I saw him live with DP in '96 and '98 before he left the band to pursue his classical yearnings. Master of the Hammond and a true gent. Cheers for posting.
Du hast doch überhaupt keine Ahnung du Spinner! Wer sagt denn, dass der W8 "nur" Leder hat? Warscheinlich hast du den noch nie in deinem Leben von innen gesehen... ausserdem heißt es LUXUS! (bzw. "Luxuriös")
pussymobil... allrad un w8 in dieser ranzkiste, das ist doch kein auto für solche sachen. und wo ist da der luxsus? leder im innenraum, wooooow, sehr luxsus
Correction, more important for cars which have been developed for longitudinally mounted V6 engines at most. I don't think the W8 can possibly fit in a transverse FWD VW. ;)
It's much wider than a V8, due to the multiple offset positions of the cilinders. But it is shorter though, which is important for cars which have been developed for transversely mounted engines.
Hehe, well the engine is way too compact for it's displacement which takes away alot of the efficiency of the engine. I still can't believe they actually have such high compression ratios in those cramped cilinderheads, combined with turbochargers. The engineers must have had lots of head aches solving just that. Not to mention making it go 407 km/h the way it does now. 10 radiators isn't really much if you look at how hot even a VR6 can get.
Its got a ridiculous amount of radiators. 10 if I'm correct. 3 for the engine, 2 for the superchargers, 1 for the air conditioning, 2 for the exhaust amongst others.
The gearbox is actually built by British engineers, from the Ricardo company. It's built to withstand up to 1500-1800 Nm (1110-1330 ft-lbs) What's so amazing is that the W16 still manages to keep cool, simply because it's vast (7993 cc, 16 cil, QOHC) and it's a W-engine.
The ultimate example of this engineering is the W12 that AsDttL mentioned as used in the Bugatti Veyron, pumping out 1001bhp. Its an awesome engineering feat that only the Germans could pull off. Even more impressive when you consider they had to deal with so much power from their engines they usually rip gearboxes to pieces or the tires can't grip the road!

Did they make these with manual transmissions?
yes 6 speed
Ultimate sleeper

Dk*heads m********* where is the sound inglorious fk tube !!!!!!!
Sound is Back :-)
is the inteweier udo
hahah I agree - we all knew the song + album as soon as the song started...
noooooo, my favourite presentation from motorvision... :( No sound - no fun
awesome :D
awesome guy!!!
FuckTube.
RUclips sucks. This video was all about the sound and they took it off. Assholes.
The VR4's have an offset of 15 degrees, but the two VR4's combined in the W8 are offset by 72 degrees.

Exactly. It's two 2 liter VR4 engines on the same crank. It's compact, not as compact as a V8 though, but it as efficient as an in-line engine.
y did they do the wagon y not the sedan?
You are very right except of one thing! The Veyron has got 16 zylinders, but that is even more impressive ;-)

it is an engine that is basically 2 V4 engines that have been fused together to save space. German power and efficiency ^^
its an 8 cylinder configured in the shape of a "W" rather the regular "V"
Nice engine!
