While a handful of engine types have become mainstream today,
throughout the automotive history, many wild experimental ones were put into production as well.
Hey guys, Stype here with a list of cars with the craziest engines ever.
Let’s go.

@@xtreme814 Had this discussion a while ago. Fact is: all these (Ferrari 512 BB/BBi and the Testarossa, which was more or less the direct descendant to the BBi, 917 and some siblings, AFAIR even some flat 8) have V12 180°, not Boxers = other crankshaft layout. The only real 12cyl Boxer seems to have been the Subaru F1 engine, built by Motori Moderni (italian manufacturer), but failed. Seems like the boxer layout doesn't scale well beyond 6cyl, but can't tell in which aspect. On the other hand, all 2/4/6 flat engines (Lancia, Alfa, BMW, Citroen, Subaru, Porsche and a bunch of earlier ones) were real boxers.

4:00 I thought the idea of having two engines on the 2CV was brilliant, it's like what they do on planes, the redundancy for air safety, if one engine fails, there's another. I thought it was sensational that you have autonomy and total control over each engine individually and be able to choose the desired traction, whether front, rear or four-wheel just by operating the motorcycles. Really, the 2CV surprised me once again!

Another car that is a bit strange is the Briggs and Stratton Hybrid from the 80s. It was a concept car that aimed to combat the rising fuel prices of the 80s by being a gas/battery hybrid, the first of its kind. It was a bit unusual with its 6 wheel arrangement because an extra axle had to be added to support the enormous weight of the batteries. The engine was a 694cc 2-cylinder air cooled boxer engine producing 18 HP @ 3600 rpm, and is essentially the same engine that was used in many lawn and garden tractors at the time. It was able to deliver very good fuel economy but the technology just wasn’t there to make it realistically feasible for the market. They used lead acid batteries which are very heavy, bulky and very inefficient compared to modern lithium batteries. And as you can imagine, 18 HP is not going to win you any races but it was assisted by electric motors being a hybrid. It was too ahead of its time but is nonetheless an interesting piece of automotive history. Jay Leno has a video of the Briggs and Stratton Hybrid car.

Plus, it sounds amazing and it makes very good low-end torque (296 lb/ft @ 3000rpm) because of having sequential turbos. Anyways, I really liked the list.

In the early to mid 70's the Subaru 350 was still for sale at dealers. They came in two passenger cars versions, a pick up and a van. They were powered by a Kawasaki 350cc snowmobile engine. If the engine didn't start, you could take your belt off, wrap it around the shaft pulley, and give it a good pull, just like your lawn mower. Obviously they were micro cars, but were pretty cool to own and drive (just not on a highway). I have been in a car and the van, in 1978, in Kansas I went to a junkyard for a part (for a Borgward) and the owner took me to the parts car in his yard car, a Subaru 350 pick up. (he did start it with a rope).

The 4WD is the only car to have crossed the Sahara without any support at all. The owner did it twice years apart. He drove it to be getting away from civil wars in Africa. He worked as an agricultural consultant in Africa - driving a Land Rover being British - he wouldn't have made the local farmers listening - he would just have been another British imperialist telling them what to do. That particular 2CV had a story like no other car. It was fully restored. I can't remember the price it fetched at auction - Either it was put up for sale asking 146,000 Euros and fetching 164,000 Euros or the other way round. You could be making a video about that car. It's one of the most amazing stories in automotive history. The English gentleman that owned the car never bragged about it. The car sat in a garage for years - them somebody learned about the history of the car and the owner and restored it to mint condition and put it up for auction. It could have been in the Guidelines Books of Records - but it wasn't the purpose of driving the car the Sahara Desert twice - he loved the car and both times the owner and the car got back to Europe safely without any incidents. Apart from crossing from Marocco to Spain onboard a ship - it drove from the middle of nowhere in Africa to England all by itself - twice. It's one of those stories proving reality can be more strange than fiction. But both trips are fully documented. The two motors worked as a redundant system. You could be driving 2 WD choosing if you wanted it to be a back or front wheel driven. The car would be even slow - but it could lump back to safety. It's the only serial production car ever to be having that feature!

Tucker was bamboozled by the big 3, in collaboration with the federal government. The cars were made so well that 47 of the 51 survived and most are still in drivable condition.

I am sitting on the unpublished design of a unique 1 Stroke hybrid piston turbine (+ optional e-motor/generator in the same sized package, which is a 25cm long, 20cm wide/tall (cylindrical) unit for a 1L engine.. It can idle at 0 RPM and is incredibly high torque as it's literally 1L per stroke, and each stroke combines combustion, followed by flush while compressing the air-fuel mix the other end. It's an air-hammer to rotary power BEAST!.. Combustion and compression both provide power. -- The 'piston' is just a narrow head, about 20mm wide at its widest (the outer edge that holds a couple of o-rings). It also combines a novel Stirling inspired heat-engine. I'm not going to describe it fully because it's too cool but you may be able to work out roughly how it works. No stupid off-centred wankle / crank rubbish, or having to run at stupid RPM all the time. It's a 2 way (reciprocating) piston + turbine rotary ICE + heat engine. I have the most compact design. LOL at every other ICE ever designed!

You probably don't know but there's the Jimenez Novia W12, which had a mid-engined W12 (as the name implies) which wasn't much more than 3 motorbike 4-cylinder engines angled 60° from each other and moving a common crankshaft... There was also the 1930 Bugatti Type 46, which used a U-16 engine. That's two straight-8s side-by-side welded together.

The mopar V10 was a truck engine of cast iron first, then for the Viper, the blocks were cast in alloy by Lamborghini. The V10 Mopar engine was based upon their LA V8 engines.

Yes, they did a good job, but I find this category of race cars for the actual road a bit stupid still. Chris Harris said in his review of the AM Valkyrie that he could no handle more than 30 min of that car on the regular roads. The noise, the harshness... It's may have a set of number plates, but that car is terrible outside if the track. But hey. It's a bragging right. Nobody cares if Zonda R is faster. That's no street legal car. You can't act superior to everyone else when you park it in front of some expensive restaurant
