V12 BEGINNINGS: Gordon Murray Automotive & Cosworth

[@markdance574]

Considering the engines cosworth have made for both the GM and the AM Valkyrie - cosworth are now back to being THE greatest engine supplier . Real shame we don’t see more cars running Cosworth engines

[@alexluke84]

and MAHLE Powertrains for Zenvo Aurora...amd Nelson Racing...etc

[@anydaynow01]

Yeah some cheaper I-3 turbo engines with h shift transmissions would be pretty awesome for budget track day toys!

[@samuelele]

Imagine a hot hatch with a cosworth 4

[@blxtothis]

Nobody mentions that they revolutionised F1 with Lotus or were instrumental in Fords GT40 foray.

[@namechecksout6300]

The new Bugatti should have a cosworth engine (v16).

[@bynumjimmy]

Nice hearing engine discussions on with a calm tone. I will never own a Gordon Murray car, but I will always cherish them.

[@stephenkayll5241]

I'm 70, and grew up with the legendry Keith Cosworth & Mike Costin DF7 engine. As a, Brit I was so proud this engine dominated F1 for so many years.

[@E9JMX]

Seeing red engine covers at 2:48 , on a Cosworth engine whilst being sat on pallets, reminds me of the old iconic photo of the Cosworth YB engines destined for Ford Sierra RS Cosworths. ☺️🔥

[@Sir.co2]

Whenever I see a new GMA video upload, I don’t think, I just watch and never get disappointed. True legends in the making

[@catlee8064]

I could listen to Bruce discuss engines for hours. Someone needs to do this.

[@The_Silversurfer]

A great moment in motor heads history. Thank you from all of us

[@alansheard553]

Cosworth made the greatest F1 Engine of all time, the DFV, now the best road engine. Just my opinion, but hard to argue against.

0:46 Only 4 years ago !!!!!!!…… Wow that impresses me a lot By the way even the car was developed really fast, I think this is really remarkable from GMA and COSWORTH to have been capable to reach this absolute level in such a short time, with not a prototype but a real and very well tested car ready for production !! Imho this is the best proof of the ultimate level of knowledge and experience these two companies got.

[@sparky4878]

Not sure what is more impressive. The engine, or Gordon and Bruce's shirts.

[@bongosock]

It's one of my favourite stories: the development of this engine, and also the Valkyrie engine - hitting all your targets with a 3-cylinder mule, and then scale up into magnificence!

[@marcusjoannou7699]

I absolutely love this… respect being paid between two of the greatest powerhouses in the automotive and racing worlds. Epic.

[@KartKing4ever]

I completely forgot that this was a Cosworth engine. This is wonderful.

[@YSekiai]

The sound of this car's engine is like music!💫🎼🎶 I own a Caterham equipped with a Cosworth BD engine, and I take great pride in that.💞

[@ENGBriseB]

You're a genius Gordon. Hopefully one day i will own one of your cars especially with a Cosworth engine. Thank you.

[@anydaynow01]

Yep, with the major manufacturers shying away from new pure ICE PUs and h shift transmissions, it's great to have companies like Cosworth which keep real driver car engines alive. Just keep providing hearts for a true analog driving experience! Hopefully they will have more ICE options for us mere mortals to plop into our track day rigs!

[@LneAlphaWlf]

The Trifecta of engines, Honda, BMW and Cosworth!

To be fair, we can include Ferrari in that list. But beyond that...

I know for certain that performance wise Cosworth have surpassed Ferrari and Porsche in the engine game. No one in the industry has ever dared to make not one, but TWO generations of V12s with completely different architecture back to back this soon. Can you believe the T50S engine makes 770 HP all naturally aspirated?

[@alrightsally2748]

Legends!🫡

[@TiesOfZip]

I’ve never been an F1 fan, but been a huge fan of Gordon for a few years now. And I’ve never wanted to be insanely rich enough to afford any certain car before the T.50

[@joachimhannah7523]

The t-50 came out in 2023 and in development for about 4 years . Gordan's company is very young but his car lineup is the best in the world

Having followed this GM legacy for ever. I am confident that this is a cubbyhole of delightful destiny that will be remembered forever as the best road car ever. One more ever by GM! LEGENDARY!

[@jimmcculloch3786]

Seeing these engines, and hearing that sound at the end, where did F1 lose out ??

[@TheLRider]

I just think it would be so awsome if Cosworth was to take that next step to take all it's knowledge and start working on a Hydrogen fuelled Internal Combustion engine like, Toyota,, Suzuki, etc etc. Please; we don't want to lose that sound track and end up with boaring fin batteries and we definitely don't have to or want to.. Could provide that critical future for motorsoort in all it's forms. Set up a just giving site to kick it off. You'd get millions of supporters I'm sure..

[@gackauo]

It's going to be the last great road V12 ever built. When you really dig into it you can find how elegantly it's hit and overcome its targets. Watching all the videos and reading whatever information has made me feel like a child again watching such cars as the f40, mclaren f1, xj220, 959 ect get imagined and built. Cannot congratulate GMA and cosworth enough.

[@cameronmmj9291]

Amazing engine and partnership. Probably a rhetorical question, but any chance us mere mortals could just buy the engine? 😂

[@davidmulligan4203]

If I remember a conversation correctly, some owners are buying engines for display. I think the carbon fibre stand is being redesigned. It’s amazing to see the engine on such a stand made from such thin tubes!

[@S-T-E-V-E]

I never understood why Ford stopped their Cosworth Models after their huge success? But then again who knows why Car Manufacturers do anything!

[@noke258]

I think it was because cosworth was getting all the credit and glory for fords success and rightfully so but ford knew people were only into ford because of cosworth and they didnt like it.

[@Furrrburger]

My first learning of Cosworth was from the classic vid, Getaway in Stockholm, the night street racing video from the early internet days. The black Supra and Escort Cosworth ripping up the hwy, running from cops, it's epic stuff. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGKzooyeiKdqZ6M

[@timessix8434]

Brilliant work by Cosworth! Still surprised though by the 4 throttles, and not using ITBs…

[@rndmprsn3532]

4 throttles on road car, ITB on race version

[@timessix8434]

@@rndmprsn3532 Yes, I know. But why? I think it was said that ITBs were ”hard to adjust”, for the road car, but that seems like a weak argument for what, 100 engines made by a specialist company like Cosworth…

[@Breakitjake]

Emissions probably had large impact on 4 throttle setup

[@ArchimedeanEye]

They might get around that through the use of highly variable cam timing, i.e retain high speed/velocity where needed but also outright air volume needs

[@chriscovington11]

Cosworth also made the Aston Martin Valkyrie. I watched a video a while back about it and cosworth made the engine in quarters. So a 3cly engine for emissions testing and stuff so they probably did the same thing for this one.

[@jamesengland7461]

Mere standard pallets seem inadequate for what may be the best engine in history. Where's a good English cabinetmaker when you need one 😂

[@staggtastic9951]

I'm always interested with what Gordon Murray does and I admire him for most of his achievements. But with knowing and working with him between 2002 and 2012 ish including the SLR project in which I was a significant part of the technical team, I'm still wondering about his failed ambition and project of the T25 that he planned to be the transport solution for London Olympics 2012! Will he deliver what he intended to produce back then for the mainstream or has his greed taken over?

In F1, I remember the cars that did not perform well. Many of them had Cosworth engines.

[@ivanputeraa]

3rd

[@LarsAgerbk]

seems more like an emotional choice than a logical choice to go with Cosworth. Did they even look at other options? With the McLaren F1 I think they started out with a Honda engine and then switched to BMW at some time.

[@srinitaaigaura]

Gordon was then quite close to Rosche and got him onboard for the engine. How good was that one? Well, if the McLaren F1 BMW S70 engine made the same torque at 10000+ revs it would make the same power as the Valkyrie engine today. Similarly Gordon also got Pete Weissman for the F1's gearbox. Weissman had also designed the gearbox for the legendary MP4/4 btw.

[@LarsAgerbk]

@@srinitaaigaura dont get it. As far as I know the McLaren F1 BMW engine didn't rev to 10000 revs

[@sparky4878]

They wanted the best and were able to work with Cosworth. Cosworth had also been working on the Valkyrie's V12 around the same time.

[@LarsAgerbk]

@@sparky4878 I get the feeling they would have chosen Cosworth no matter what. For nostalgic reasons.
