The Devel Sixteen has drawn praise and skepticism ever since its reveal way back in 2013. The car has yet to be seen on the road, clouding the perception around this car even further. Will the Sixteen ever see the highway? Surprisingly, I think so.

Hey guys, I've wanted to talk about Devel for a long time, and I'm honestly pulling for them. I want the Sixteen to achieve the company's ambition. The road might have been longer than they were planning, but isn't that true for so many other things? Make sure you're subscribed, we'll be taking a close look at more *interesting* supercar brands here in the US and Europe, you don't want to miss those episodes. - Nolan

[@7gmeister]

@@timothy4011 well, a Z rated tire is probably good for about 200 mph. That’s why they typically cost a thousand dollars a tire but to go beyond that it gets harder and harder to make tires that can handle those speeds. If you watch the episode of Top Gear where they take a Veyron over 250 mph on the Volkswagen test track they talk all about the subject of tires and top speeds. They asked the engineers how fast their tires would go because they had to have specially designed tires for the Veyron and their response was. That’s the same thing as asking a captain how deep his submarine would go. You find out when you take it there so getting up to those speeds with tires gets really shaky past 200 mph

I can't imagine finding a transmission and differential that could be used that would be somewhat reliable. Plus, you'd need to design the tires from the ground up.

[@davidwest6019]

Devel would need a material science breakthrough technology, say, a transmission housing made out of pure diamond, or something equally ridiculous. From a current technology perspective, at 5000hp youre looking at mining truck, tanks, etc types. And those are meant for low rpm - high torque, not high speed.

[@halweilbrenner9926]

Haha..from the ground up.

[@masterchief6523]

Here’s what I think they should do: 1) design the car around the engine. (Solves the aerodynamic problems and should be able to figure out placement. If they nail those then 2) use all current transmissions until you find one that has potential. As was said in the video, it’s a figurative v8 ls just put together. (My only concern tho is the planters members that does the shifting as they do the work of getting in and out of gears). Lastly, 3) use the suspension to solve the aero dynamics too. Think of it the higher the car is and if it’s a fast moving car wants to get sucked down more to the ground. If they just had different functions maybe. That’s at least what I think. Ik I’m wrong somewhere in all of this but please tell me.

Add to the the massive fuel need, about 7 gallons a minute which requires massive pumps and filters to keep pressurized (not to mention the size of the gas tank required to not run through it before you even get to the top speed).

Solution could be simple, if frustrating: limit the time spent at 5000hp to seconds or less, so that you can just sink the heat somewhere and cool it off. Then the sustained power will probably be a small fraction of that.

@@dsdy1205 I've thought about that too, like a party trick, like having NOS or something. But I doubt it would reach 350MPH if that was the case. Anyway, since no one has witnessed the car actually do these things it's still just talk. The engine might exists, doesn't mean it can be practically used in this car. Killer looking car though, even if it "only" made 1000HP it would still be very interesting.

When I was in College a friend of mine was a student in from Dubai and he always rattled off about how no car could beat the Devel Sixteen and got VERY upset when I suggested it was a bunch of BS lol.

[@Dynoids]

And look how right you are. The car only exists as 1 or 2 rolling chassis with a corvettes engine in it, and as a single engine made in the USA. Basically the car is 100% BS until they used their scam money to hire real engineers and designers to make a cool engine and exterior design and nothing else. The new lead engineer may be able to make something of the Devel Sixteen but... its not a car made by Devel at all.

[@KINGCHAOS516]

Nelson would’ve had a field day with that motor!!!

[@matdyke5046]

As an industrial engineer, i can explain why. Supply chain, material properties, energy loss through drivetrain, logarithmic increases regarding aero. Tires are also a big issue, there will always be a level of “spin” at any speed since there is no substance on earth with a perfect coefficient of friction. Friction=grip. Slicks on a dry track can give more grip than treads once warmed up due to surface contact area. With “rain tires” the ability to displace standing water as well as provide grip means robbing from peter to pay paul.

[@allflying3]

As soon as I saw the engine is real, I immediately thought "yeah, you're gonna need a heck of a transmission to channel that kind of beast". And turns out, that is the biggest challenge, other than aerodynamics, tires, suspension, active censors, etc

[@deabreu.tattoo]

And cooling. It would need 4x the radiators in a Chriron

[@barneymiller7894]

You could use the transmission out of a Promod drag car, something like a Reid TH400, but your gonna get three gears and no overdrive

[@TainterRacing]

A turbo 400 would not be able to be used in the application they wanted to in a car like this. Meaning you could never track it that's a quarter mile transmission which works good but it's meant for short time frame creates a lot of heat in a short amount of time. You'd never be able to take it to the track and put any power through it.
