You're still not getting the point.
IT'S NOT THE SAME THING. 2 Engines =/= 1 Engine And, it took a little more engineering than just sticking 2 vr6 engines together to get the w12. |

they arent even "stuck together", ther on one axle each, if they where in the same engine bay at the same time and they where only on one axle together, then ill be impressed

Thats how VW put it:
"A W12 engine is a twelve cylinder piston internal combustion engine in a W configuration. W12 engines are manufactured in two distinct configurations. One configuration uses four rows of three cylinders merged into two 'cylinder banks' (two narrow-angle VR6 engine blocks), coupled to a common crankshaft - as in Volkswagen Group W12." |

On the volkswagen w12 all 12 pistons run on one single crankshaft. It has 4 cylinder banks, not 2. (whoever wrote that quote doesn't know what one is apparently.) The reason why they use the two vr6 example is because they used the same bank angle for the two sides of the engine of 15 degrees. They did this so they could use the same cylinder head configuration as in the vr6. But that statement there is more of a metaphor used to help give an image of what the engine looks like to people that haven't seen it. No what it actually is.
fyi, a cylinder bank is a row of cylinders parallel to each other at one common angle around the crank. That's why the w12 has 4 banks. because cylinders appear at 4 different angles around the crank. |

Red Victor 1/2
(IMG:http://www.bbc.co.uk/blackcountry/content/images/2006/11/09/dscf1517_427x320.jpg) I believe it is one of, if not the fastest street legal car in the world, with over 2,300bhp. Look at the spec list QUOTE Engine The car was purchased with an original 104 horsepower, 2000cc four cylinder motor. Following a number of engine iterations, the car is now powered by a 572ci Twin Turbo Chevrolet V8. Specs as follows: Dart big M block Lunati pro series 4340 forged crank Oliver billet steel rods Diamond turbo pistons Speed pro "Hellfire" rings Aviaid 4 stage dry sump pump Modified Aviaid oil pan Altiss engineering custom oil pump drive,oil tank and breather can Jesel cam belt drive Don Bailey designed Comp Cams custom turbo roller cam Comp Cams H/D roller lifters Manton 210deg 7/16" ex pushrods,Comp cams 7/16" intake Cometic multi layer steel head gaskets ARP heads studs Dart Pro1 355 CNC heads with Ferrea stainless intake and super alloy exhaust valves modified by RFD dvelopments Edelbrock 454R intake manifold modified by Altiss for 2 x 1500cc Ford motorsport injectors per cylinder Manley valve springs T+D 1.75 shaft rockers Ali rocker covers modded by Altiss Custom 321 stainless headers by Altiss c/w2 x Turbosmart pro wastegates Burns 321 stainless merge collecters and Custom 321 stainless 4.5" exhaust system Turbonetics "Godzilla" BOV Billet 2200cfm throttle body Custom throttle body hat CNC'd by Taylor machine and finished by Altiss 2 x ARE cooling 12"x7"x 13""" Air to water cores,c/w 8 gallon water tank. Tanks fabricated by Altiss Turbos 2 x Holset 88mm custom hybrid turbos spec'd by Holset with inconel exhaust wheels Miscellaneous The vehicle runs on Shell v-power pump fuel with Power Pour additive. It uses a Ford 9 inch rear end connected to a custom 2 speed transmission built by Andy Frost and Penn Autos. Front brakes are 290mm vented discs, with custom four pot calipers. On the rear, 260mm vented discs with custom pads. All built by Hi-Spec. Figures and Records Speed records: 0-60mph =1sec 0-150mph = 5.0secs 0-189mph = 7.6secs Standing 1/4 = 7.41 & 197mph at this time. top speed = 223mph, and no bodywork came off. This was done at Bruntingthorpe in Sept 2008. That speed attained in a slow 19secs due to excessive wheelspin and coming out of the throttle. Street Eliminator speed record holder 190.4mph so far.... World pump gas ET and speed record holder on MT 315 radials.7.67 @190.4mph so far... King of Europe winner 2009. King of Europe speed and ET record holder 7.81 @ 188mph... 2 x UK Castrol challenge winner 2006/2007. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBwK9Lbfx5Q The best bit is part 3 is coming soon http://pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h...t=Redvictor%203 Also, for those who don't know, this is what the car would've looked like originally (IMG:http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3179/2315233100_81d5a5ce6a.jpg) Also see this Bentley This post has been edited by Ben.H: Jan 6 2011, 01:01 PM |
