16.4 8L W16 Veyron Engine

Has anyone taken a look at the w16? Its actually one of the coolest ideas of compact power I have ever read about.

One thing about the car that blows my mind is that it only needs 250hp to maintain a speed of 250kph. As the 1001bhp is amazing on its own... The car is built for putting that power into speed. And that's what "us" as HP Boaters face everyday trying to make our hulls, lowers and props more efficient to make the most of the hp given to us.

Dok should be all over this one.

As cool as it is the Ariel Atom V8 is feasible and it puts the power into speed....just like performance boaters...power to weight ratio, set up and cost to repair

That's one for VW freak lol...isn't that a giant version of the VW VR6?? The veyron is absolutely cool though. 250hp to go 250km/h is one thing...but the interesting thing is that it takes 4 times the power to reach it's 408km/h top speed. That's just insane to think about the amount of force that air puts on that car.

An integra type R would run 230 with 195hp... :mrgreen:

This is the golden age of horsepower...I cannot believe the power available to the average joe today.

Speaking of honda ... i just watched the new Civic Type R go around the nurburgring and its quite the car. hit 270 KPH on the strait. cars are getting fucking awesome as hell. and under55k you can get some bad ass shit.

if i had a choice in car with out taking into consideration on price it would be the koenigsegg agera r.

Yes it is. It appears as though it has taken this long for motor manufacturers to get around the emissions regulations imposed upon them back in the 70s. They have also really figured out fuel injection too. They have surpassed where they were though back in in the pre-disco days...

Just like a pair of VR6s, one of my favourite motors. As you say, I can't believe the factory hp available these days. My '11 Journey had almost 300 hp, insane torque steer, and enough passing power to surprise my 350Z owning ex-boss. The 600ish hp mustang in the shop a few months ago was a real eye opener. It idled smoothly, exhaust was raspy but not obnoxious, and I swear to fuck 3rd gear acceleration was exactly like the millennium falcon hitting warp speed... I'm hoping someone trades in a Hellcat soon!!!
