@ridhobaihaqi144 German engineers. Any engineer that's not stupid would have made a large V8. 16 cylinders and 5 valves per cylinder leaves you with 80 valves imagine trying to do spark plugs and coils on an engine like that or even just a plain oil change the thing would have been an unreliable unserviceable mess.
bullshit; the 12 zylinder BMW was easy to maintain and so would have been the 16 zylinder. The problem was the long motor with center of gravity more and more going into the front
The BMW V16 was placed in a Rolls Royce and, even though it didn't make production, it was featured in the Jonny English films. The reason being that Rowan Atkinson is a petrolhead.
Oh interesting, from the sound of that engine I thought it was something different than the usual 6.75 V8, but I assumed they faked the sound to be "more impressive" than the smooth quiet engine
I used to work at Porsche and Rowen Atkinson brought his 959 in, they used to only be able to be service at Reading headquarters, but his car used to come in regularly and a sick 1970s old school 911.
Oil I don't think would be an issue, the pan is still at the bottom and there's a bank pointing right up for easy filling, spark plugs tho I'm with you on this one. Bottom banks probably as well accessible as a boxer, that is, if the manifolds aren't in the way, and at the very least one bank has gotta have an intake manifold right in front of the plugs.
Fun fact: the Bugatti Veyron was initially planned to have an 18 cylinder engine before the company decided "nah, that's too much" so they settled on a more sensible 16 cylinder engine instead. I think at this point you could make a list video on all the 16 cylinder engines that were either made or were planned to be made only to be abandoned. Alfa Romeo, Audi, Auto Union, Bentley, BRM, BMW, Bugatti, Cadillac, Cizeta, Maserati, Mercedes Benz and Rolls Royce (and others I can't remember) all either built 16 cylinder engines or attempted to build them using concept cars or by simply creating blueprints. It's interesting to see how so many manufacturers tried to build cars with that many cylinders despite the increased weight and complexity of such engines.
From what I know the Bugatti's 18 cylinder simply had cooling issues and couldn't muster more than 550HP semi-reliably, but I might be just as wrong as you. :D
Although Im looking forward to the v16 Bugatti, I wish they went with something more exotic, like a v14 which was never attempted in a performance race car. Sure it would be complicated and not produce much power and have good balance as a v16, but it would be one of a kind engine, and I would have loved to see that
@aasishwarsaravana5748 A V14 simply wouldnt be possible due to balancing issues. Inline 7s (if they would be used) would be horribly unbalanced and so V14s would be absolute hell😂

Totally agree the w140 s class was the last merc built by engineers and not accountants, the early 2000s mercs lost there way and brought cheap metal from China and they rusted madly.
@@alastairward2774New cars have now become crazy money a Porsche Carrera in early 2000s was 75k, now a GT4 cayman is well over 100k and 911s are crazy money, us regular people have to buy these cars second hand, as long as they don’t fly up in price.
An updated S74 would be a dream car to own. Imagine if they had built the W16 with 3 or 6 turbos or 3 Eaton M90 Superchargers gear driven off the timing assembly. Who says that cocaine use from the late 70s through the early 90s didn't spawn great ideas.
An absolute unit of an engine for sure! Daimler Benz and BMW made some kickass aviation engines. Especially BMW’s 801 Radial-14 cylinder engine and some others!

@@JCGver Don't put it past them! They would invent a new high temp thermal plastic and made the exhaust and intakes one piece, liquid cooled manifolds using the tears of whales as coolant!
When engineers are left without any supervision.. Imagine being a mechanic and this nonsense of an engine comes to your garage. "There's a funny noise and the engine light is on." How much would you charge for hoisting this tank up on the lift?
BMW actually made two Goldfisch prototypes. The one with the scoops was the first, the second looked just like a restyled 7 series. The V16 BMW engine was also made differently to the Mercedes unit. They installed a cylinder onto each end of each cylinder bank, the joins are quite visible.
I remember reading about this configuration and understood what they meant but there WAS mention of a W24, I assumed it was just an expanded W18. But it might have been an engine design number. Or the journalist talking hypothetical.
Still less crazy than the V16 7-Series. Two inline-8s is way more extreme than two almost V8s (which are two inline-4s) in the form of two VR9s. The entire cooling system for the V16 was where the trunk would have been.
VR9 is not a correct moniker. VR engines have two banks with one cylinder head, necessitating a narrow V angle. This MB was a true "W" engine; VAG's W8, W12, and W16 are really "double V" engines. Four banks of cylinders rather than three.
You're confusing MB's W engine with VW's W engine, VW's W engine features two VR engines like how you had said it, Mercedes' version is a true W with three I6s mashed together
Awesome concept and creative design solutions, serviceability would have been tough but then they did that anyway with twin spark on the M112, M113 and M137 then make access as limited as possible 🤣
As nice as that 16 cylinder is, it most likely would have gone against the functional mentality of Mercedes Benz of that era. Those cars were already over-engineered as it is. That engine just seems to have been too unconventional for passenger car usage, especially in the W140. But, that exhaust sound would still have been pretty sweet to hear...
Imagine how insane it’d sound if they had taken it a step further and tried slapping on a turbine compound system and having it feed all 3 cylinder banks. since it’s only using one crankshaft itd be relatively easy to package
Mercedes hätte den W140 mit dem 16zylindermotor in großserie herstellen sollen, der wäre noch besser gewesen als der W140 V12 der bereits der allerbeste pkw ist aller bisherigen pkw ist.
Und wer hätte die Großserie dann kaufen sollen? Viel laufruhiger als der V12 hätte der V16 nicht werden können, wohl aber noch mal schwerer... dann wäre das Auto in den Bereich der LKW-Zulassung vorgedrungen, mit allen Einschränkungen, die das gebracht hätte.

it's possible to simulate such an engine nowadays with good results..can somebody create the same engine on engine simulator (yes, i can't do that because i'm bad at it)
I'm no mechanic but I'm going to put it out there anyway......surely the weak point of the 700hp has to be the crank shaft? Like yeah it can handle 6 and 12....but 18? Like, squeezing that many on surely must weaken the crank on available space alone. That thing would have to be forged out of diamond along with the rod ends no?
The main problem with this complex design was the odd European convention of limiting displacement to 500cc per cylinder, which even continues to Bugatti engines of today. It's a silly constraint which leads to such absurd complexity as this. It would have been easy to simply bore and stroke the V12 to 8 liters.
I understand what your'e saying, but most Mercedes V8's - from long before the 1990's and right up until now - displace more than 4.0 L (so more than 500 cc per cylinder).
Its an italian thing, they make shorter strokes to get the engine to rev high, incrementing horsepower but compromising on torque but they make the cars light so torque can be still low
Those puny, yet grossly overpriced German toys ! Almost ten thousand Chrysler-A57 engines were produced (five banks of inline-6 cylinder). And that was 50 years before the Germans !
I have a question for any Germans in the audience. If they wanted an 8L engine why didn't they just make a large V8? What's the point of an 80 valve engine
