The first Cosworth that I heard that sounded out of this world was DFV in a Lotus 49 driven by the great Jim Clark alone on the track at Sandown Park in Melbourne Australia. Because he was alone for about 40 minutes the sound was bouncing off the billboards. The sound is still in my head it was just amazing. Two months late Clark was killed in the F2 race at Hockelheim. I was 15 & Jimmy was a hero of mine then & still is.

Nobody needs this car much less this motor, but this is pure ingenuity, this project should be sponsored by universities, from both engineering and aesthetic departments.

This also shows you what a marvel this engine is but also how freaking good the 992 GT3 engine is, with less than half the displacement it makes more than half of this ones power. We got 8.3L in this one vs 4.0L in the GT3 with 986bhp and the Porsche with 510. Scaling performance per liter almost linearly from 6 to 16 cylinders just shows you how on top of their game Cosworth is and why everyone and their mother lets them build their engines.

surprised they couldn't get more power out of it tbh, cosworth made the v12 in the valkyrie which makes just over 1000hp from the engine alone

[@patrickcorcoran1718]

It is basically just two V8’s, though. Specifically it’s two typical cross plane V8s, with crank pins at 45 degrees rather than 90. A perfectly balanced V16 with an even firing interval would have a 45 or 135 degree V, allowing 90 degree crank pins, and would basically be two inline 8s the same way a V12 is two inline 6s.

V12 matra is still pinnacle of engine sound!!

[@ssaini5028]

nah V10

[@simondbrown]

Best thing I’ve heard since the BRM V16. Absolute favourite.

[@GamesBond.007]

I would have been impressed if I didnt know they had a V12 which makes the same power: 'The Valkyrie contains a 6.5-litre naturally-aspirated V12 engine tailored by Cosworth, which produces around 746 kW (1,000 hp) at 10,500 rpm, with a redline of 11,100 rpm. This will make it the most powerful naturally-aspirated engine ever to be fitted to a production road car.'

[@Tippotipo]

We are talking about Bugatti. This is a first NA V16 engine in 21st century made from scratch. Key reasons are uniqueness and reliability.

[@JemaKnight]

A standard Bugatti would never do something like go to 11000RPM. It's the antithesis of their design philosophy. It should feel effortless and relatively undramatic to find the limits of the car. No doubt there will later be a Tourbillon SuperSport or something along those lines which will take this engine and go completely off the wall with it.

[@lorddoobsworth144]

how about torque?

[@N4CR]

More revs, less reliability.

[@GamesBond.007]

@@Tippotipo The engine is made by Cosworth, not by Bugatti. The fact is that this V16 makes the same power as their V12. And how do you know if its reliable ? The car has not even been released yet.

yes it will but you might need to modify the firewall and cut a small slit in the hood. Or even better, but it in the trunk!

What makes Ferrari truly special its that they create their own engine, and their engines are among the best in the world especially their v12 engines.

[@steven_taylor_]

Definitely but Ferrari didn't create any new V12 engines ever since the Enzo was unveiled. They just update and modernise it to match and even beat newer V12 engines.

[@rikaus9273]

Didn't know it was a cosworth engine 🤔

[@Paganizondaf650]

Would really be interesting to know if they just got approached for prototype building and dyno testing or if they actually designed the thing. Back in the Piëch days VW wouldn't have outsourced the engineering, but times are changing... VW can't even get their car software to work properly...

[@UncleManuel]

This is what all hypercars are about: the driver's experience. The looks, the feel, the smells and of course the noises. This is the reason why f.e. Mr. Hennesey like to keep it raw, to give the owner a connection to the road, a lost car feel in today's modern disconnected people haulers that all look the same. It's all about passion. 😎🤘

[@Lazerus2008]

People have no idea how many different great engines Cosworth have been involved with. I also love they have them sat between a YB Redtop and that Bugatti lump .
