Bugatti is bringing a V16 engine to their lineup, with more details to be released later in 2024. The Bugatti Chiron successor will sport a V16 hybrid powertrain, with rumors that it's a Cosworth 8.3L naturally aspirated V16, producing 1,000 horsepower and revving to 9,000 RPM. If the rumors are to be believed, it will also be paired with three 250kW electric motors, for a potent AWD system with blistering acceleration.
But, who cares about rumors, right? What are the facts? In this video, we'll dive into the images shared by Bugatti, to get a deeper understanding of the engineering behind this V16 combustion engine. We'll talk torque curves, firing intervals, firing order, V-angles, crossplane vs flatplane, balance, and see how the rumors hold up to a little math.

In 1938, Cadillac completely re-engineered the V-16, brought out a flathead design on a 135-degree plan. It was nearly an opposed 16, gave much lower silhouette, put most accessories on top. Two downright carbs helped give 185 hp. Only 514 L-head V16s were sold. A V-12 wasn't made during this time, and Cadillac dropped this 431-inch V-16 completely by end of 1940.

The V16s were significantly less expensive, low rpm engines designed to effortlessly at low rpms move around a huge limousine with only 3 gears in a time where it was uncommon to travel faster than 70mph, more of a truck engine, where the Dusenberg was like a double Offenhouser I4 or an aero engine that ran at higher rpms and depended upon breathing to make the 265 and 300 gross HP while still being acceptably tractable down low in a heavy vehicle.

That's pretty sweet. I have wanted to build a paired V8 V16 out of Ford 460s for a while now, just something about a 15L V16 that's appealing. It's interesting that they are doing this this way, my first choice plan was to run the front one in standard rotation but the rear one in reverse rotation, butted together, with the power going aft via a shaft slung underneath from the flywheel end. Hopefully they aren't going to have too much of an issue with crankshaft flex in that, or with block shifting.

Just thought I'd throw a spanner in the works :D

[@EngineeringExplained]

Thanks! I included the original comment because translations often aren't directly accurate, so appreciate you chiming in! Were you to guess, does the language sound affirmative or more like "no way"?

@@EngineeringExplained I added a separate comment, but in most cases it translates to something like a playful "nice try, although you're wrong". BTW your numbers were very conservative. 1000+1000 is much too low. They'll probably push for 2x electric 750hp each, plus 1500 combustion. They have to make a crazier car than Koenigsegg's ~2300 HP.

[@Shadsuna]

@@EngineeringExplained I had posted a follow-up, but it contained a link to another comment on Facebook, which might be why KZbin mods (or even you) deleted it. Anyway, the gist of it was that Mate Rimac seems to be very stingy with responding to comments on his posts, and the response I had linked was one confirming the engine is N/A with a simple "Yep." to one of the commenters in an earlier post Rimac had made. The only other direct response he gave to commenters about any of this was along the lines of "all shall be revealed in due time". This all leads me to believe that the commenter you pointed out (Heinz Schenk) was onto something, and the snarky sarcastic handwave was probably a misdirection attempt. I can't be sure about the electric engine(s) power figure(s), but I do think you're just about correct; something tells me Bugatti-Rimac didn't go through the trouble of designing such an elaborate ICE powertrain just to have it play second fiddle to the electric subsystem - I doubt they'd want it overshadowed by the electric motors. @randomnik70 :: I doubt Jason overestimated the engine power, given how simple the intake manifolds and the valvetrain look; to get much more efficiency without traditional forced induction, they'd have to have an elaborate variable valve timing and duration system with some huge valves/ports and also probably rammed air (scooped from the front and inducted into the manifolds), as what Jason proposes is already pushing it in terms of volumetric efficiency.

I love this video! Good stuff Maynard. As for the Engineering the Veyron, at this point an aircraft gas turbine would be lighter and have more horsepower, and I bet that it would cost less. For example Jay Leno built a gas turbine car based on a corvette chassis.

[@bismarchiavelli]

Jason, your forensic math skills recently have been on point, from the cybertruck quarter mile video to this one. Keep it up 👍🏽

[@gosho5449]

2:26 very nice

[@mranvick3512]

THANK YOU for another high-quality, old-style, whiteboard video instead of a not-so-well-sounding unmounted vlog :D (the explanations are crystal-clear, great work)

[@deanharris7149]

Awesome! Can’t wait for details!

[@mikerass5435]

I don't know if this is a new thing, but the animation of the exhaust flow while explaining the sequential turbo setup was a very nice touch.

[@Rawmon94]

that crank must be heavy af

[@itsdokko2990]

imagine the crank wobble, such a long boi must wobble like crazy. i'm sure they thought of that

[@ivanstefanac1144]

1 meter long😅

[@JoshuaTootell]

Crankshafts on my last ship were like 30' long. They can figure it out 😂

[@dsdy1205]

​@JoshuaTootell sure but it was probably also as wide as ur mom, that makes it less wobbly

[@MartianGopnik]

@13:31 Cool to see where "5252" comes from, and that it's more specifically 33,000/2π.

[@EngineeringExplained]

The full story is actually really interesting, if, you know... you're interested! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXSVXn2BhJWWaKssi=5oC5Sfz8dpUupw_a

[@artofdisguy3401]

Cool explanation Cheers mate 👍😁

[@theotherguy6951]

I would assume whatever future car Bugatti will put the V16 in won’t be specifically designed for top speed because the hybrid system wouldn’t work when trying to reach the highest possible speed since there would be no regenerative braking and the engine would be better suited to just send all of its power straight to the wheels.

[@mikenewbry]

@2:27 Nice

[@muxiku]

Cosworth are the masters of NA engines in this era, if you want a good NA engine go to Cosworth.

[@N4CR5]

Or Judd.

[@juliangramajo7010]

the cizeta moroder was a v16 in 91

[@Vidarx2]

Was it a prodcution car though?

[@MainInternetUser]

I mean 8 production vehicles is it really a production car ? Those early 20th century v16s has hundreds of examples

[@CyanRooper]

Rare cars are considered production vehicles even when they are made in single digit numbers.

[@Miwna]

Cadillac made a V16 in 1930. They made 4000 of them.

[@Emira_75]

Nah not really ​@@CyanRooper they're not series production vehicles. More homologated concept cars

[@davidhill5798]

One of my all-time favorite engineers! It takes real genius to be able to digest the computation and physics of engineering, and turn it into something genuinely enthusiastic. Well done, Jason!

[@markplott4820]

3x Electric motors , BEAT any ICE Engine.

[@JT_779]

Awesome video and awesome v16 emgine ❤

[@ThePaulv12]

Downside of the straight eight is crankshaft torsion, sometimes referred to as whipping. I'm wondering how it's managed in this V16 if it's driven off the end of the engine? In a W16 I can see how the compact arrangement of the cylinders reduces crankshaft (and engine) length effectively making the crankshaft about the length of an inline 5 or 6.

[@davidsucks922]

T50, Valkyrie, and now this... Cosworth keeping the art of the NA ICE alive, no one does it like them anymore. Interesting engines with hybrid assist replacing turbos is something I hope trickles down to more affordable sports cars before the EV age

[@abarratt8869]

Been there, still wearing the T shirt. Our Honda Jazz has a 1.5L NA engine and hybrid assist! Sadly the software conspires to not unleash all 200bhp the plant could theoretically deploy. However, it is the first Jazz to be capable of wearing out its front tyres.

[@inevespace]

NA ICE alive everywhere. For example you can combine 16 450cc dirtbike engines and get same characteristics as guessed in the video. And engineers of this engines don't shoot for high hp nowadays. So it is quite basic tech (you can have 300hp/L nowadays if you want). Moreover, full EV is a dead end. We just don't have enough lithium to make batteries to electrify all cars. I reckon next 20-30 years will be hybrids until we find some alternative to Li based batteries.

[@migmigjohnson9351]

A V16 engine nowadays is like a super rare powerful horse when the model T was mass produced. There comes a point when the limiting factor are the tires, not the engine.
