Don't get me wrong, its an engineering marvel, but track car it is not! Also I think they look incredibly sexy in real life... but they are not for me. I'll join you in the Lotus/Caterham 7 club, make mine HOdna K24 powered please!
A super low cg is great and all, but they still weigh over 4700lbs. That is a whole lot of inertia to overcome no matter how low to the ground it is! That heavy of a car will require more force to change it's direction, than something lighter. The video bothers me as the title leads one to believe that a model S is…
This is extra funny as there is an add for "RUSH" right below the article...
I'm pretty sure the rod looks identical to the forged rods in the N55. ball parking some dimension by comparing that to the rod and piston at my desk, the same to be the same I beam shape. The piston is the same KolbenShmidt design as well. I wonder how many parts are common to the old N54/N55?
I wonder what this test will look like when the suppliers start sending crap material, rather than what was spec'ed? Or when weld points get missed in order to cut a few seconds of a cycle times i the factory?
Those are awfully heavy cars, something is amiss with this video. Pro driver at Amatuer event? Other cars on cool-down lap?
More engine noises, less commentary please
HOLY Mother of god, that is awesome! FSAE has come along way in ten years!!
300 lbs?
Because Ralph kinda sucks,,, sensationalist journalism at its worst...
In related news, FLorida man sues police for violating basic rights, wins $500,000 and promptly loses it on cocaine, bath salts and hookers.
I think you will need some inside information from Red Bull Racing. VE is the actual air entering the cylinder divided by the therotical maximum entering the cylinder.
A bigger engine, and more cylinders will have worse FMEP, than a smaller fewer cylinder counterpart...
Great Question! I bet they would be rapidly approaching their F1 counterparts! especially the Panigale R, or BMW's Liter bike. 600cc supersports are probably even a better example. higher revs, and just as high HP/Liter
Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear
134.4HP/Liter out of a 4.5L Naturally aspirated V8.
If Musk was smart, he would pull all of Space X out of Texas... Then see how those Good 'ole boys feel about Tesla selling direct to customers...
It is Gorgeous, and 5 valves per cylinder of screaming italian hotness... I approve whole heartedly!
Still a gorgeous car!
