you can still have high rev NA engine with hybrid, this is a mild hybrid btw

[@davidsubotin7122]

@ Yes that is true, but most hybrid supercars have an ICE that is of a smaller capacity engine that is turbocharged mated to a dsg or some other kind of automatic gearbox. Also yes this is a mild hybrid in that it only powers the external components of the car and ads nothing to the powertrain itself.

[@mikea5205]

@ -mild hybrid would mean it adds some sort of power to what the engine does, which it does not. There to remove accessory belts. Like the engineer in the vid said, it's an integrated starter generator. Also mild hybrid cars have some sort of electric range, which this also does not.

Can it run a race faster than the current engines with the same amount of fuel and the same max fuel flow? Cosworth's welcome to demonstrate it.

[@kieranjamieson]

@@TiagoJoaoSilva Obviously not but nobody cares.

[@timgosling6189]

@@TiagoJoaoSilva I remember also when V12 Ferraris sometimes ran out of fuel before the finish; that did not diminish the majesty of the spectacle or the music of their race.

[@Ariskot007]

@@TiagoJoaoSilva Speaking in general terms, turbo cars have efficiency advantage only on partial throttle. Good for NEDC or WLTP test thus reducing the CO2 penalties. But when driven hard, it is the other way round.

[@davestadler5434]

@@Ariskot007 so wrong, but there we go. Turbos increase efficiency when correctly matched. The current F1 machines have the same power as their eighties turbo beast brethren but use literally half the fuel, 100kgs/hour max fuel flow rate. The first F1 limit to fuel tank size came in 1985 at 215 litres or so, cut incrementally to 150 litres for 1988 season with 2.5bar boost limit. The naturally-aspirated engines could never keep up with Honda's turbo and even ran out of fuel themselves, with 3500cc capacity but less than 600bhp. Doesn't always translate on the road to be fair, but ultimately the turbo is by far the most efficient way of supercharging a piston engine, and hence maximising power from a given amount of fuel. They inherently reduce noise; all noise is waste energy... what a way to waste it with this Cossie though!! Spine tingling

@@Duncangafney1 BRM are working on a new V16 based on the original in many respects. While I did love hearing this T.50 engine at full song, the frequency/pitch of it isn't quite there for me compared to the fact that it's built in many ways like a F1 engine. For instance the Carrera GT or Lexus LFA to me are closer to thet noise. I am hoping they in the T.50 and in the elements that it will so I'm sound a bit better than in a dyno room.

I'm not the type of person to say, "this is the best thing..." but this engine is in a category of its own. To think it never existed before because Gordon didn't ask for it to be made yet.
