I worked as an apprentice mechanic for a marine engineering company in Plymouth (UK) in my late teens and when the city hosted a round of offshore powerboat racing our section of dock was hired as a workspace by one of the teams so we got to have a good look inside. Somehow they'd managed to fit 4 of the big Lamborghini V12s in the back of this huge catamaran hulled thing all running on race gas with turbos so big you could have comfortably rented space inside for a family of 4. I think they said the engines could put out a comfortable 1500hp each and keep the boat running at over 200mph all day in calm conditions without even a flicker from the temperature gauge. I'll never forget the noise of the engines firing up, we must have been 200yrds away in a support boat when the engines came on one by one and even at that range the volume still hurt your ears, the saving grace was that when the pilots put the hammer down the boat disappeared so fast into the distance that by the time the engines had come on song they were far enough that you could appreciate the noise without all the blood coming out of your ears. We didn't get to meet the pilots but apparently they'd consider a bit of bleeding from the ears a fairly normal day at the office, dislodging lungs and other various internal organs isn't unusual in rough seas as it's just like driving down a dirt road at 200mph in a car with no suspension
Any more info on this boat name? team name?
@@aaronisgrate It was mostly red I think, catamaran hull and about 50ft long. I don't remember much more than that unfortunately, had a brief tour while it was on dry land after finishing work on the Saturday and then watching it get towed out of the estuary for testing on Monday
Sounds like that was back in the day when safety equipment for a beast like that was a pair of Ray bans a tash and big set of gonads.
@@williamcostigan469 it was in the early 2000s. There isn't much you can do to improve safety on an offshore powerboat, hitting water at 150mph+ is exactly like hitting concrete so the best you can do is make sure that the pilots are contained in a cell that floats long enough for support crew to retrieve them. It's a similar approach to fireproof suits in racecars, you can't entirely prevent possibility of a car catching fire but the suit will mitigate damage for long enough for marshals to tackle the fire or extract the driver. The boats are extremely strong and every component gets the belt and braces treatment to ensure strength but that's more to ensure nothing falls off while smashing against the sea, if it goes badly wrong then several hundred thousands worth of engines are heading to the sea bed never to be seen again and bits of the hull will be washing ashore for weeks to come
Early 2000 offshore powerboat racing was dominated by Spirit of Norway. Class 1 offshore powerbat racing was limited to 2 engines and 920 or 850hp each. 4 engines and turboes sounds like something else, wonder what that could be?
I'm really digging the episodes on the engines separated from their chassis. It absolutely gives us a unique view of these engines few people get. Thanks Jay 👍
Hello there, I was not expecting to see you here.
well you'd be kind of arrogant to not include yours in that :P
One reason the car engine in this vid is quieter than the boat is because the exhaust of all 12 cylinders feed into one pipe. This makes for less time between exhaust pulses and more even exhaust flow.
@@bobroberts2371 not true. that wouldn't make it louder? What does this have to do with this comment
John Meurer There was a now missing post speaking about exhaust sound. I am correct in that more cylinders in a single pipe are quieter, I've put enough modified exhaust systems together to know that. Less cylinders in a pipe = pulsed flow. More cylinders in a pipe = smoother flow, less change in over all pressure. Do some research on H and X pipes for dual exhaust systems.
On the Motor Trend On Demand site, under Hot Rod, have a look at Engine Masters Season 2 Episode 22 , Straight exhaust Vs H pipe Vs X pipe. 9:03- 9:35 sound of X pipe / smoothing of pulses, 14:20 speaks of DB readings for all 3 and yes 1 DB is a lot of change. While this does not speak to all cylinders in a single pipe, it does speak to smoothing out pulses by mixing in more cylinders.
You're the man Jay, thanks for sticking around and showing us all these awesome cars and engines.
I mean to have the first Lamborghini engine fully restored correctly is just amazing to me. So much time goes into research and sourcing parts etc. I don’t think most people understand and appreciate the amount of time it takes. Realy something special to look at and hear running again!!
Then to have it in Jays garage, couldn’t have been better. Andrew is so knowledgeable and genuinely a car guy and of course Jay is the kind of guy you don’t want to stop talking. Robs engine also looked and sounded awesome. Thanks for your hard work Andrew and can’t wait to see it in the chassis.
Jay called it an "orchestra" I've always referred to it as a "12 cylinder symphony" . This was cool to see both of these engines side by side. Thank Jay, Andrew & Rob for sharing with us.
NEXT UP : Jay Leno's 8.0 Liter LamborGhremlin rat-rod.
One can only hope . . . Maybe a '70 Miura with a modified body and HEAVILY redesigned suspension? :-)
That's a great name..
That sounds more like Jeff Dunham's style honestly...he also has an amazing RUclips channel
@@hesstwentyone no way that engine fits in a miura unless you widen the car and also make it much longer
I like the Gremlin based ride. Gremlin was the first car I drove legally. Since then have had many muscle, pro strt, tube chassis, and foreign performance rides. 1of my favorite is a 70 AMX with a 401/480 cu in heavily mod AMC motor. Did tube chassis using a 2x4 and one paint stir stick in front of rocker and 2x4 with 2stir sticks to have body at ride/drive height. Built full car in 1&1/2 car garage except for motor machine work and welding of block and heads so could run 19 to 1 compression. It cackeld really nice. I also showed and trophied at shows. Top 10" S finishes
When called up to receive one of special awards, they made 2comments about auto.
1 we want to thank the owner of this ride for the neighborhood and WIDE SURROUNDING AREA it's early wake up call this morning.
2 we would like to see th40 blwn injected Willy's and this ride line up and run. The Willy's owner told me NO ! He did not want to be embarrassed by my AMX.
I should add that this show was in a combination residential and commercial area in suburban Detroit.
Yes in the D we do like them loud and insanely fast.
Best et for AMX was 6.30@179
350GT is such a beautiful car, cannot wait to see the finished project.
I have loved Lamborghini and their engines since I was a teenager way back now. The Countach still wows me up and their V-12 engines have a sound that just can't be replicated or equaled. They just got it right.
As a grandpa who started reading Road & Track in the late 60s, I am very thankful the Jay Leno made some serious coin so he could make these awesome videos. Four of my grandchildren received gift subscriptions from Gramps. My oldest son is a factory certified BMW mechanic who has treated dad to some awesome rides. He has made sure his mother and daughters have BMW rides. Second son (a VW diesel specialist) and his sons enjoy their "sleeper" VW rides. (The only thing stock is their outer appearance.) Again, Thanks Jay
coolest grandpa ever!
Was waiting for J to accidentally rest his arm on those hot headers...
It great you can share these cars, engineering, and stories with us Jay. I really appreciate what you're doing and that you do share this with the average person. Thank you very much.
This is quite a treat to see! It’s not everyday we see this kind of automotive history. Great to see friends from Lamborghini Club of America enjoying the passion here with Jay!
I believe this is an excellent example that shows just how much work goes into a restoration project. And this just being a small part of the process. As Andrew’s project continues to comes together, not only will this car be admired by many but it will also be a beautiful documentation for those who enjoy the history of such things. Many people might see special car at an events or crossing the stage at auctions on TV but not to many know or take into consideration the amount of effort it takes. The digging up the history and doing the homework, It’s an essential factor in preservation and can take a very long time to complete. You guys did a great job in speaking of those points, the mounting block included. How cool! Even the custom stand has some historical value added! Did not know that.
Excellent discussions from all 3 of you! Thank you guys for sharing this! Lamborghini history is here to stay!
Jay sees the 8L
“Did they ever put it in a car?”
It’s 800lbs
“Has anyone tried?”
Hahahahahahah classic jay
6.4 powestroke weighs up there around 1000 pounds. So it's possible haha.
Right I feel like you could easily squeeze that in .
I think they did try a 7 liter version of the marine engine in an LM.
On a full size truck not a sports car 😂😂😂
Yes that big block powerboat engine displacement ran from 7 liters to 9 liter.The 7 liter engine was the optional engine for Rambo Lambo LM002,one radical SUV! I wish somebody would build a supercar around the 9 liter =1000hp natural monster V12!
Awesome video! Love seeing Lamborghini content on Jay Leno's Garage! Great job Andrew!
Im glad I got to see these engines in a 360 degree view. Cool stuff. Thanks Jay.
Whenever I worked (as a stage and) at NBC, one of the highlights was to walk over to see what you had parked next Paul Moyers Ferrari. My favorite was probably the turbine powered motorcycle. Thanks for sharing Jay, you are one of the good guys
One of the good guys? Do you have beers with him after work or something?
Shawn Crocker when one of Jay’s assistants noticed several people looking at whatever Jay drove to work one day he said “would you like Jay to come out and talk to you about the car”. I couldn’t believe Jay would take time from his busy schedule to come talk to people about his car but he did. Jay is a real car guy and in my opinion that makes him one of the good guys. No, I have never personally talked to him let alone had a beer with him.
@@lkibbler barf!
Shawn Crocker sorry I wasted my time on a troll
You didn't waste your time, he's not the only person reading your comments.
Excellent off the beaten path video. Thank you for bringing these two time tested Italian works of engine art to us Jay.👍
Really nice! They sound amazing! That's a ton of power!
Love you Leno you were my childhood and now as I’m growing up I’m still not sick of you! ❤️🥺
It' s fantastic to see my friends Andrew and Rob by Jay Leno!!! Great the ideas of the engines on the carts!!! Lambo power for Lambo lovers!
Great episode this one, super cool to see them in the raw. Would love to see more of these episodes!!
Love the sounds of those “essence of Lamborghini” engines. Good episode.
A good video deserves to be watched twice.
seems like the ending was better the 2nd time...
Works of art with awesome sound. Thanks Jay.
It's reuploaded because they fixed the outro.
What was wrong with the outro? I watched it last night but didn't see the ending lol
I was wondering what happened. I left the video unfinished when I left for work, and when I got home when I tried to resume it, said it was unavailable.
Oh how I wanted to hear them both together. Great to see these!
Que Bella! Jay says something about the 4 valve being Lamborghini's version of the Hemi; I came to that conclusion as well and designed a badge with the Lamborghini font that said "Hemi" for my Countach QV, but never had it made. For cooling the exhaust, it's the conductivity of metal that brings the engine temperature down. Less heat transfers forward. Works of art! I love the display stands! Never liked the side mounted webers; so glad my QV had them on top like the marine engine. A great trick to long term storage (avoiding cylinder rust) is using a polarized oil that magnetically adheres to the cylinder walls. I use Redline exclusively. Awesome video!!!!!
Ooh, look at that engine stand! Another work of art from Bob Huber 👍
The work done on the 3.5 liter engine was epic. And to see it running so well now is a true pleasure. There is nothing as satisfying as the V12 engine sound.
yes beeats v8 sound alwsme v12 kuck v8 soynds
Beautiful sounding engines!! I wish I could hear them in person!
Bravissimo Jay! Music to my ears❤️❤️
This is absolutely amazing. What automotive art!
Nothing like a class 1 offshore race start with a dozen boats each sporting two of those V12's. Awe inspiring.
look at the guy look down at Jay's arm as he rests on the exhaust 14:00
Fantastic content again Jay.... Thank you.
Great video thank you Jay!!!
Remember watching the late night installment of off shore boat racing in the UK when I was a kid, loved it...
Great video! Please keep making vintage Lamborghini content. These cars don't get enough serious coverage.
Works of art
...and art working
I enjoyed your steam engines, aircraft engines, but this one was a sweet video.
Thanks Jay!
If I were in the more money than brains club, I would have that gas handle next to my bed to start the day with....
morning wood
damn straight have another one in my formal livingroom as a coffee table
I loved this!
I had 4 DCOE Webers on a cross-ram manifold in a Chevy I owned.....why did I let it go? Anyway, they were beautiful in their simplicity.....pull one jet stack and you had everything...idle, emulsion tube, main jet, etc all in one. You didn't need to drain carbs or anything to change whatever you wanted to alter. When you whacked open the throttles you were met with a fantastic, marvelous moan of power. I swear, that sound was better than love......... Absolutely, perfect mixture!! These engines are beautiful....thanks for this video Jay!
""it represents the middle point..." - lovely point Mr Leno, thanks.
WOW LOVE IT!!!!! Good one Jay!!!!
Thank's for the video love those big v12 like the one you usted by ryan falconer engineering .
freaking works of art. exotic and beautiful at the same time.
Awesome video, really enjoyed it.
That engine sounded awesome!! Love the Lambos!! I’ve owned a few Ferrari’s and Lambos! Different sounds! Love both! But the bull is just so mean!! Just love it!!
Love your work Jay.
Love Jay Leno. Regardless of his past ventures, he is still a regular car guy at heart.
I really like the Ferrari Colombo V12s but this 3.5 liter here sounds almost like a cross between a hot-rod V8 and that Colombo V12... great sounds! Old Italian V12 don't just make horsepower, they also make music in the process!
Love how Jay is leaning on the pipes lol
Always great stuff Jay.
Love this sort of stuff
Absolutely love this channel
Those engines are just incredible! Love the sound and how they move the car! Awesome Lamborghini 350gt engine is awesome! Love the video!
These old carburated V12 do sound incredible!
I agree! Thanks for watching!
Great episode. And I think someone did actually put one of those marine engines in an LM but I don’t know if it was an 8 liter. Can’t wait to see the rest of the 350GT
they tried to fit that engine on the LM004 and the Countach
Wet Exhaust not only muffles the exhaust noise it also lowers the engine compartment temperature and lowers the temperature of the exhaust system where it will be passing through fiberglass and other materials reducing fire potential.
I have been watching this show now for some time. Jay got the historical and mechanical knowledge. The contend makes every guy (and women) drool. The interviews are exciting and intelligent. The test drives make me jelous. Keep going Jay you are having one of the best shows on the air. What I would love to see is more interactivity on social media (ea RUclips) with Jay, the commentors and his fans. And Jay... why not proving them different and put one of them Marine engines in a car... making it the "Lenorghini"... Lol
Remember watching the Florida offshore racing late at night in the uk as a kid… I would have loved to have been involved in it, those engines and the exotic location…
I bet a dude in Italy could fit that marine engine in an old Fiat 500.
IF i could afford one, i would stuff one in the front of my 01 Passat /s We know a 5.3 will fit behind the bumper.
😂🤣😂👍🏼
That’s an American thing.
I'm sure anyone could with enough beers
Oh it will fit!
Next week "welcome to another episode of Jay Leno's garage, this week we put a Lamborghini boat engine in a car" 😂
You laugh till the video shows up in your notification and you'll be like
😮😮😮😮
Something like that has been done before. A 1650HP Mercruiser engine into a '70 Charger. It's called the "TANTRUM"...... Wonder why...?
ruclips.net/video/Ts0Z030mucc/видео.html
MAGNIFICO!!!
Great video I absolutely love Lamborghini
Thanks jay for taking the time for us
My Dad used to race smaller chassis, inland type boats in ODBA. Crazy to think most of the boats were around or less weight than that 8LV12. Without an engine, the lightest carbon kevlar hull weighed just over 670 lbs. Add the seat, linkage, engine and lower unit and were still less than 1000 lbs. Power output generally speaking was ~500Hp but 2-stroke and revving to 11,800 RPM.
8:02 and 16:07 FOR SOUND, YOU ARE WELCOME ;)
MK Performance Thank You 👊
Thank you!!!!! I scrolled through the video and missed em!
you can see the guy cringe when jay leans on the exhaust lol
its lucky a lot of the exotic cars he shows are too low to lean on , can you say crumple zone ,, lol is right
Fingerprints all ove those puppys
They probably had it running before the video was taken and he was worried Jay was going to burn himself.
Jay has gotten better about closing hoods.
Hahaha! Was looking for someone to comment on that
Great sound.
I love Lamborghini. Thanks.
According to the great source wikipedia, you could get the marine L804 in the LM002. But it was only 7.2 liters.
Lamborghini de-tune the street engine from 8L down to 7.2L 😆
"Only"
nick conner 7.2 was the initial design, it started in 1985
I recall with the Lambo LM002 the option instead of the Countach engine to have the Lamborghini L804 7.2 litre marine V12.
So... when are they coming out with a blender model?
This is the best show!
I want a series like this on the LSX, LS, And LT series. 👌🏼
thats lexs hybdrr v12 like fady hybdr fare 22 mog vs 11 nlg dybled mpgbhybrd v12
awesome engines!
just awesome............
Jay is a CAR GOD he can lean on anything
Up next SV, SVJ, GTR Diablo Video Series? Fantastic Mechanical Art, Great Video!
Good on ya Jay, that was great
Only my two cents
I believe the water injection into the exhaust was a spark arrestor as well as to cool the exhaust pipes
We were in a olds 455 powered flat bottom boat and it had a valve on the exhaust to turn on and off the water supply to the exhaust
Holy cows when the water was turned off the heat from the headers was unbelievably more
It was a testament as to how much the water brought down the exhaust system temperature
I was in a yacht marina in the UK about 20 years ago and we moored up on a pontoon next to an offshore power boat. The rear hood was up and the mechanic was working on it..... It had TWO Lambo 8.0 litre V12s. the sound they made was amazing. 120mph boat on a flat sea.
V8?
Yes, sorry my mistake....typo... v12s of course....... Well spotted.
yes it d7d
Awesome engines !!!!!!!
Great Rev
Something we don't see on engines these days...instead than the now-standard layout of exhaust pipes to the outside of the engine, carbs/intake manifolds in the V, and spark plugs between the cam shafts, the old 3500 engine has the intake manifolds bolting on between the cams, and the spark plugs in the V. There's a great shot of this at 1:58
Royal information about the lamborghini engines legendary historic
Great discussion. Please have Andrew back when he has the 3.5 back into the car.
Man that boat engine has a very unique sound.. just incredible
Jay combed his hair, gotta be a special day :)
Jay your my hero sir
Lamborghini had a Riva motorboat with twin Lamborghini V12s in the hull.
It was restored a few years back and the article was in Octane.
It was an interesting article and the boat is beautiful too.
that 350 gt engine noise is so sweet
eotrc fari 308 gt best
Very cool.
GREAT ENGINE
That guy was about to throat punch Jay for cold revving his engine lol
aren't all engines cold until you rev it...
You’re supposed to wait a bit until you rev
@@joser7894 but he primed the motor
Jay,
I have enjoyed watching your RUclips videos for many years.
Maybe my 1965 Royal Bobcat GTO will be on here one day.
Cheers,
Major Jordan "Joker" Smith
Jay is hilarious and doesn't bite his tongue. Cooling the exhaust is completely unnecessary😆 💯🙌🤟
Great engines, I have a Berkley jet boat, the water cools the engine and acts as a sound dampening in the exhaust ( water cylincer / moufler. When in the water you can distinctly hear the difference with and without water.
Awesome video although listening to those engine on my phone does no justice I bet they sound even better in person.
