I’ve been pitching this for years. The Big 3 and their Japanese copycats just keep putting gigantic penis-hoods on their trucks, only 30% of which seems to be occupied by actual engine components. That’s a lot of pointless air to be toting around at the expense of cargo capacity. Sure, there’s some aero benefit vs the…

If a nuke was used on South Korea then there would not be a response in kind. There would be a display of power that would put Shock and Awe to shame as all of our regional forces quickly converge and start a bombing campaign. China would get in the action so they are not next and that would be the majority of the…

Seriously...Kim...dude... eat a Snickers.

I do wish they would make more of these. God, that bike is beautiful. And that six sounds sooooooo good.

This somehow looks so much better.

You searched for the right Tuk-Tuk, comparing specs, torque ratios and finally you found the right one and you named it Brad.....and then Brad got trampled by an giant elephant at a religious parade...... you thought nothing could replace Brad......then Dehli Mutual sends you a check.....

Perhaps they should have badged it as a Skoda instead of a Bugatti- that would have shocked people.

525HP with 295 ft-lb of torque?

It’s the amazing Korres Project 4. Looks like a pre-production testbed.

They just think “That thing is coming right for me!”

Voss only. And it has to be from glass bottles, none of that plastic bottle crap.

Looks like a powered decent... A close look at the picture at the top of the article shows the leading edges of the rotor pointing down at full tilt... My guess would be a failure of rotor head at the swash plate causing a quick loss of altitude... From there it’s decending into its own rotor wash and accelerates…

its almost like the pitch flattened on the rotors.

The tech can still be used interchangeably. Say you find a new combustion chamber geometry or an improved method of fuel injection. Also methods of developing a race engine can be valuable experience when designing a road engine, different analysis and experiences. Product development for something like an engine is…

LMP1 rules force massive fuel savings and (2014 winning Audi spent 25% less fuel than 2013) hybrid reliance. I don’t believe the new flat 4 has anything at all to do with this engine but at the very least it shares common principles.

Hmm, I look at it like this:

I’m not sure about the crankshaft. I would guess it’s similar in some way, it certainly doesn’t have that flat tone in of the flat plane v8. I do know the minor bank split is 15 degrees while the major split is 72 degrees. That 15 degree split makes the frantic tone at high RPM, it’s the same tone you hear in the VR6,…

The title picture looks funny because the model was rendered in isometric projection. It’s not natural and can make things look distorted.

While not technically a V8, the W8 is my favorite 8 cylinder sound. To quote a friend “it sounds like a wookie orgasm”.
