:shock: :shock: :shock: to give you guys some idear how quick this is a f1 car doing 100 mph and a veron at a stand still and they both floored it at the same time the veron will hit 200mph quicker than the f1 car fact

Right weres my time machine O here it is set time and date 7.59pm 11/12/05 I off..!! :hyper:

 

As you all know I cannot tell about the future...... :eek:

 

Jay

Looking forward to that!!

 

16 cylinders, 4 turbo's!! I wouldnt like to pay for a service on that!! :eek:

did you know that the veron would empty its 22 gallon fuel tank in 12 minutes flat out

,,,2.3mpg or 51 miles,and the rear tyres cost £1400 each

:shock: :shock: :shock: to give you guys some idear how quick this is a f1 car doing 100 mph and a veron at a stand still and they both floored it at the same time the veron will hit 200mph quicker than the f1 car fact

 

not quite correct but close the MClaren f1 road car is the car that this fact relates to sorry just me being picky

i dont get that engine, its a 'W' config, with 3 banks, so how does 16 go into 3?

any one?

Surely a "W" config has 4 banks, not 3 !?

yip, ur right, i shoulda checked first. 2 secs on Google produced this :

 

The Original "three-bank" Design

The classical W engine uses three banks of cylinders, all connected to one crankshaft.

 

One of the first W engine was a W3, built by Anzani in 1906 to be used in their motorbikes. It is this W3 engine which also powered the Blériot XI, the aircraft used by Louis Blériot when on the 25th of July, 1909, he made the first ever successful flight across the English Channel.

 

The 1917 Napier Lion aircraft had a first W12 engine.

 

Later, a W12 design was also pursued by Audi, who later abandoned the project. However, the Volkswagen Group later built an experimental W18 engine for Bugatti's EB 118 and EB 218 concept cars, but the design was determined to be impractical because of the irregular firing sequence required by the three rows of six cylinders.

 

[edit]

The Modern "four-bank" Design

The Volkswagen Group (VAG) created the first successful automotive W engine with the introduction of their W12. It combined two narrow-angle VR6 engines around a single crankshaft for a total of four banks of cylinders. For this reason, the four-bank configuration is sometimes, and more accurately, referred to as a "VV" ("vee-vee" or "double-vee") to distinguish it from the traditional three-bank "W" design.

 

The W-12 is used in the Volkswagen Phaeton, the Audi A8 and the Bentley Continental GT - though in the latter application, the engine has been highly modified by Bentley and fitted with twin KKK turbochargers. As a result, it produces considerably more power than the original version. The narrow (15°) angle between bank pairs makes this engine resemble a V12 in that it has just two cylinder heads and two sets of camshafts.

 

VAG went on to produce a W16 prototype which produced 623 horsepower (465 kW) for the Bentley Hunaudières concept car. A quad-turbocharged version of this engine went into production in 2005 powering the 1001hp Bugatti Veyron 16.4. A W8 engine was also produced for use in the VW Passat.

 

The major advantage of these engines is packaging, i.e., they contain high numbers of cylinders but are relatively compact.

i was thinking of the old type i saw in an aircraft museum once

Thats a McLaren F1. Not an F1 car!

 

Its quick, but not that quick!

 

EDIT: woops, z evo guy beat me to it!

Looking forward to that!!

 

16 cylinders, 4 turbo's!! I wouldnt like to pay for a service on that!! :eek:

 

Plenty of room for a boost upgrade and some bigger injectors!!! :D

cant wait till next Sunday too! :hyper: doesnt clarkson race an aeroplane in it across country or something?

Dunno but he gets it to about 240mph then runns outta road it stops from top speed in 10 secs but that equates to 3 km !!!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

Awesome, thanks for the vid...we were wondering what it was last night when they gave the teaser at the end of the program! ;)

 

It looks absolutely awesome! :hyper:

the veyron is electronically limited to 407.5kmh thats 253mph,you know what james may top gear,reckons veyron doesnt feel very quick in normal road driving situations,captain slowwwwww!!!!!!!

James May? Brogues and dresses like Capitain Dandy from a pirate movie gone wrong?

 

Yeah right he wouldn't know anything faster than impulse power if it hit him in the face with a shovel! LMFAO :D

 

FFS he refuses to even break into a trot when him and the hamster are having these euro races with Clarkey-San anyway! ;) Poof!!! :D
