[@hamstirrer6882]

Jeremy Frey respect from a fellow mech eng student 👊

[@hamstirrer6882]

Görsel they accept that a certain amount of vibration in the cabin will be inevitable, and in fact will make the car feel more “hardcore” and “focussed” to the customer, as this is a common tactic used in race cars. Longevity of the design isnt necessarily the no. 1 concern in this case, as in a race car it is constantly being re-built/components replaced, and in the case of this hyper-car that will be driven barely a couple of thousand miles a year (and maintained to the highest standard), the chance of mechanical failure is relatively low. If this was your everyday Ford Focus or the like, the higher average mileage, harsher conditions (speedbumps, potholes etc) and more lax maintenance would result in higher chance of major mechanical failures due to high stresses/material fatigue. The other point to consider is the fact that (as mentioned in the video) the engine uses timing gears instead of a belt or chain system. This is because a belt or chain wouldn’t be able to rotate at such high speeds (11000 RPM crank, and 5500 RPM for the cam sprockets) unless they were very bulky and over engineered, adding unnecessary weight. The gears also add a lot of vibration and noise, which is a key reason we don’t see them in everyday engines. I think at some point in the video (correct me if i’m wrong), the engineer in the lovely flowery shirt said that the geartrain was at the back of the engine (i.e. furthest away from the cabin) so that the vibration would be harder to feel, and also slightly absorbed/damped by the crankshaft/flywheel’s motion. I think thats everything? Hope it answers your question 👍

[@hamstirrer6882]

Görsel me too, but its probably not too much for the million/billionaires who will most likely own this car...its a tactic used in motorsport to save weight, at the expense of everything else. If it would have any benefits in an everyday road car, it would trickle down, as a lot of new tech in consumer cars comes from motorsport (dual clutch transmissions, brake technology, engine design, theres loads of examples). Ultimately Aston Martin must have decided that the people who this car is aimed at will like the feeling of having a bare bones hardcore racecar for the road. Just my two pennies

[@ericalbers4867]

3 cylinder that made 250 hp... I'm on a budget so I'll take that instead.

[@anhedonianepiphany5588]

Yep, _or_ a 3.3 litre naturally aspirated 6 cylinder engine making 373 kW. Not bad at all! Of course, a hybrid system with hybrid forced induction (using stored/reclaimed energy for electric-powered intelligent boosting combined with conventional turbo/super-changing) and infinitely variable valve actuation, would provide a vastly superior setup. The days of the normally aspirated engine are almost over, as too are the days of non-hybrid performance vehicles.

It also holds the record for the fastest production car for quite some time. Not to mention the driving position and all other technical aspects of the car. I really hope that either this or Project 1 will gain such status ,but something tells me that F1 will remain the all time biggest automotive icon. In a way it was unseen at that time and now both this and the Mercedes 1 are in a way something that we are prepared for which I believe will hold our breaths a bit shorter that the F1.

[@RealRaynedance]

We don't want this engine. We want its sound. About to get a little nerdy here, and I hope I'm not coming across rude. Assuming it all weighed the minimum, the entire powertrain of a modern F1 car, including the hybrid system, weighs at least 35kg less than this engine does MINUS its hybrid system. It also makes about the same power. That's a lot of weight when you're talking about something as light as an F1 car. Even the weight of the fuel makes a noticeable impact. You'd need to do SOMETHING to the engine to get enough power out of it to counter the weight, and it would end up even heavier because of it. I think the only F1 engines from the past that could come close to doing enough are the qualifying engines used in the 1980s. The old turbo 6s running stupid amounts of boost that couldn't be used for more than a few laps because they'd blow themselves up. And all of this is ignoring the sheer size of the engine. Modern F1 cars are built to hold a 1.6L engine, so you'd need to rework the body, further increasing the weight. So yeah. We really wouldn't want something this big and heavy in an F1 car. But it'd sure make a nice noise.
