Amazing BRM V16 onboard and on full song at Shelsley Walsh Speed Hill Climb.

[@Julius_Hardware]

My dad took me as a child to see a V16 BRM going round Silverstone. For added realism, it broke down after half a lap.

[@Smedley1947]

You're evil❗😱👩‍🔧

[@monteceitomoocher]

May be totally wrong but i think the incredible power from the engine would snap the drive shafts, we're blessed with much better materials these days to improve the reliability of these magnificent machines.

[@Narutofan1000k]

Been searching for footage of this thing being driven on full attack.... It sounds better than I imagined.

[@ShelsleyWalsh]

And isn't it good..!

[@dickjohnson7845]

That doesn't appear to be full out either, I think he was holding back.

[@AlexAlcyone]

listen to the recording from "Into The Red" of Nick Mason's BRM, Pink Floyd know a thing or two about sound, can't remember which circuit but they were giving it some :)

[@malcolmwhite3567]

I would be very surprised if this is full rpm (peak rpm 12,000)I know from riding high revving motorcycles - not 16 cylinders though LOL I would estimate this is a peak of 8000 RPM, which would make sense if you read about the power curve and when it kicks in 8000 and up is when it starts to go stupid ! LOL

[@ExaltedDuck]

​@@malcolmwhite3567yeah, it was pretty tame at "normal engine" speeds. Like 300-ish horsepower at around 6000-7000 rpm. But supposedly peaked as high as 800-900 over 10000 rpm. At a time when 500-600 hp was almost unheard of (and remember, from just 1.5 liters displacement).

[@adamnemeth8041]

One of the best 49 seconds on KZbin.

[@HanginInSF]

0:35 to the end is the best 14 seconds

[@nathanmelton4721]

That's sound demonic yet angelic at the same time

[@ShelsleyWalsh]

Demonic yet Angelic. Perfect!

[@Smedley1947]

Sounds like a well-tuned mosquito on meth.

[@jaredmason9454]

I am in love with the auditory histrionics of this car. Two banks of eight cylinders with amazing balance characteristics screaming at 12K RPM, who says engineering can't have sex appeal?

[@user-zq6yz5gf6d]

the only problem with it is for such a small (1.5) engine block it has a lot of rotating mass and energy being transferred all over the block. It puts immense stress on itself at full tilt which is likely what brings it such a poor reliability reputation.

[@ThePaulv12]

Isn't this one the replica recently completed?

[@davebox588]

​@@user-zq6yz5gf6d you're right about the extreme stress. The sound of that engine reliably brings me to orgasm every time.

It is utterly addictive... Come back monthly and enjoy it again and again...!

I'm so glad I came across this. A while back when I caught wind some folks were going to build a new BRM V16 I was so excited. And to really see it on tracks now being given the full send literally brings tears to my eyes. Hats off to the folks with the passion for a legend like this and the driver who gives her a proper send!

So cool this car, I am just reading an old book Raymond Mays, fantastic reading, Raymond loved the Shelsley Walsh hill climb. I am at the ERA point in the book, He was big on super chargers and pushing the limits of cars. Raymond Mays and his team of Men did wonders. The supercharged BRM V16 is a beast.The efforts made in those early times was impressive to get an English racing car on the racing scene.

First time hearing a v16. The sound is very unique. It almost sounds like a combination of a v8 v10 and a v12 sound in one. Very fascinating

Basically the growl of v8, the throatiness of a v10, and the pitch of a v12 all at the same time.

This video only gives us the low to high midrange of the rpm band of this incredible engine/ car. When the engine really reaches the powerband, the note changes entirely. It really sings over 7000 rpm. The growl goes away and it turns to a howl as the horsepower jumps to double and the tires want to break loose. You only get a momentary taste of it at 0:43.
