Veyron Engine

[JBrady]

Found this and thought worth posting.... NICE!!!!

What a beautiful piece of engineering; especially the way they've integrated the transaxle into the engine. I'll bet it's one tall assembly though.....

Wonder when we'll see the first one for sale on eBay, hehehe.

There was an article is an Australian car magazine that said Bugatti listed the engine as a replacement part. At 400kAUD!:Eyecrazy:

that thing is a work of art, at $400k a steal as well :Eyecrazy:

I'm genuinely suprised on how small the 2 throttle bodies are. Blimey each feeds 4 litres and 500bhp and they're tiny!

ya, looks like they could have done some stuff better. i think those boxes on the heads are air-to-water intercoolers.

Here's another photo showing the hot & cold flows.

16 cylinder motor to go along with the car that is valued at over one million dollars....

Give me a million dollars and I am sure I can figure out a way to get my 1992 SC400 up to this caliber of car....Throw a million dollars worth of technology and modificatioins into the Xuz.fe motor and I am sure you fellas can come up with something wicked to match this motor too.......

Hey do you guys noticed the reverse mount alternator? Very cool

 

[skid]

I think TVR (RIP) have been mounting alternators off the crank end of the engine on their speed 6 Al Melling engines for years.

Notice there are a number of differences between the rendition and the picture. I cannot be positive but I am guessing the picture is the actual production version.

Differences: said alternator, turbo orientation, intercooler design and more.

Regarding the throttle bodies... remember, you do not need much or really ANY more TB flow than the tubes that feed the TB. If you have 60mm tubes then a 65mm TB should be plenty (accounting for the loss of the plate and shaft).

David, I think you should sue Bugatti for stealing your idea.....

I started cracking up when I saw that quote. And it was in between sections of an exam causing the rest of the class to look at me funny.

Looks like overhead cam with rockers. Look at the buldge on the cam covers on the far side of the engine...

NOTICE also that this is a cam in block design... a bloody pushrod engine!!!

Has to be junk... right? onder:

its dual overhead cams, one intake cam runs eight cylinders with rockers. same with the exhaust, and it only has two of each cam.

God I want that transaxle/gearbox :love:........



I am guessing it's just me but don't those turbos look tiny? I guess they only need to support ~250bhp each but still......

Ok, I put down the crack pipe :hypnotized:

This is a very good example why "eye witness" testimony is always suspect.
I do not frequently make such an idiotic mistake but... there it is.

 

[Anaema]

it is a strange engine isnt it....

W12s are interesting machines. Very compact. The banking between the two heads is quite small in comparison to a V12.
