11 Mad Engines You May Not Know About | Ep. 4

[@doug960]

That 30s Mercedes has to be the manliest car I've ever seen. Non-synchronized transmission requiring double clutch shifts, and supercharger whine that makes the Hellcat sound like a weedeater.

[@r6chrisk]

that inline 8 is mechanical porn..

[@fordf-2505]

lol

[@Fermion911]

7:30 - Damn, if police or ambulance would use that supercharger, they wouldn't even need a siren.

[@teddyator]

Jup that Roots is pretty intense

[@Juanknes]

The inline 8 Mercedes is by far the best sounding. The german's race cars of that era have an outstanding sound (and look).

[@VisioRacer]

Hey, guys! If you are willing to help me, please follow me on Google+ (plus.google.com/+VisioRacer) to get my KZbin channel verified. Thank you!

[@a.j.swierzbinski6225]

lol XD the supercharger on that Mercedes race car viewed fronwards sounds like a F1 car

[@VisioRacer]

So I've found wrong source... nevermind.

[@Lowry7724]

+Casca Longinus yes you are correct on the origin of the Flying Millyard engine's cylinders. However, it was built by Alan Millyard, who has also built a viper v10 bike, among other cool things. Just search the "flying Millyard" on YT. The engine in the next two clips after the bike is the one visioracer got his information for though so it's just a matter of the wrong clip slipping in. The difference between the engines is quickly apparent if you look at the supercharger on the engine in the second and third clips.

[@sammoon2906]

+VisioRacer Goddammit, man! You've had an inline 8 in EVERY ONE of these videos. YES, we know about inline 8s!!!!! Move on... As for the Tatra V8, Moto Guzzi made a 500cc V8 MOTORCYCLE. That's way more impressive than a 2.5 V8...

[@sammoon2906]

+Alex Actually, Junkers made the engines on the ME262...

[@Fishfingers232]

The reason inline-8s didn't catch on was because the crankshaft needed to be very tough to withstand torque along such a length, whereas a V8 it didn't need to be since it was much shorter.

[@SWATROLLK9]

I agree lol!

[@flemingpandel5287]

+Fishfingers232 That and packaging issues also caused by the length.

[@ProLudicrous]

+Fishfingers232 so in other words they were unreliable? im sure in this day and age a I8 is possible no?

[@Fishfingers232]

Ludicrous Not necessarily unreliable, just prohibitively expensive and difficult to make. And there's literally no need for one when you've got V8s and V12s.

[@ProLudicrous]

+Fishfingers232 it would still be unique! it sounds like a a mix between a v8 and an i6.. if someone made a Lux car wouldnt you think it would be worth it? Bentley style pricing

[@divljacina1]

inline 8 sounds better then V8 :)

[@lowrider967]

+divljacina1 sounds like a motor bike a little bit though

[@kendaldk5634]

+Fred Donnithorne the motor bike sound you here is the supercharger

[@lowrider967]

oh ok cheers bud

[@georgemaniat7224]

+divljacina1 Inline always better than V... ;)

[@lowrider967]

+George Badass no it really doesn't

[@LoekM_02]

why do all the old supercharged racing engines sound so good?

[@plusile6352]

+Loek “BraceFace” Meyers The whine of the supercharger.

[@teddyator]

+Plusile and that grumble of the engine, i mean just listen to the auto union typ c!

[@sdry]

Love that pick-up. "2 MPG" =D

[@gus23a]

The Millyard engine was not built from a Merlin V12, but froma Pratt&Whitney radial engine!

[@AshishKulkarni7]

That merc inline 8 :O wow!

[@flyingdutchman4794]

1:03 That 1/6 of a Merlin lights off and one guy runs like hell, like in the Tasmanian Devil cartoon. Comedy gold

[@MrTimstaaa]

The sound of the mercedes inline 8 is phenomenal. I was fortunate to have seen those 2 cars in action a few years ago and the sound is unbelievable. It can't be described. You have to hear it in real life to understand.

[@electronbeing5473]

3:12 the kid no ear protection standing directly in the exhaust just absorbing as much as possible with a smile

[@Blackflack52]

can you add the Pratt & Whitney R-2800 radial engine in a further video? it was one of the most powerfull aircraft engines in WW2. data: 18-cylinder radial engine displacement: 2800in³ (46L) power output: 2200hp to 3000+hp (latest versions) compression ratio: 6.7:1 or try to find something about the Napier sabre engine (the engine of the Hawker typhoon and Tempest fighters) Data: 24-cylinder H-type displacement: 2240in³ (36.6L) Power output: 2850hp (at 3800rpm with 18psi intake boost) 3040hp (4000rpm [war emergency power]) compression ratio: 7:1

[@BugattiVeyronBugattiliker2]

I LOVE THIS SERIES KEEP IT UP! :)

[@VisioRacer]

+I Bugatti Veyron I (Bugattiliker3) Yes, you all do love it, that's why I keep the episodes of it coming :) There are some awesome engines waiting for another part, so stay tuned

[@iliovecaRS]

god I love this channel

[@VisioRacer]

+iliovecaRS Wow, really nice to hear (read) :)

[@iliovecaRS]

binge watching

[@sfcretired1166]

Just a note: I can remember Pontiac in-line eights from long ago. MB's supercharged F1 car was a rarity, but the in-line eights were, at one time, fairly common.

[@Notorious40z]

That Mercedes-Benz Inline 8 sounds amazing!!! The whining of the super charger is so loud too.

[@tedweiss5702]

1:02 God damn that guy wasn't ready

[@TunersGTR]

that I8 engine sounds like what AMG would do in the 30s...before the start of the war....

[@teddyator]

Because it is exactly that

[@timmungenast]

Thanks for showing us all these daft (and sometimes terrifying) engines! I have subscribed.

[@ElMosqito]

WOW! this 4.2 V8 TDI sounds soooo good! Never thought i will say this about diesel engine

[@naufalabyani6314]

yoo visio, that mercedes benz inline 8 sound is very badass :v i love it. nice video!!!!

[@marsgal42]

I read a magazine article that described the Tatra V8 as sounding much as you would expect a 2.5 litre air cooled V8 to sound (i.e. pretty special), a cross between a Camaro and a 911. I've only ever heard one in real life. It sounded *nice*.

[@tatertotsjackson9984]

Laura Halliday i agree, many years ago I went to a car show and a guy had a Tatra with that engine in it. It sounded very nice 👍

[@PaddyWestside43]

Really lovin this series! Keep the good work up!

[@thevoxofreason8468]

Man, I've rode the Kaw H1 and H2 bikes and the handling with stock HP was scary. I can't imagine what a seven cylinder in that chassis feels like. Woooo boy!

[@xdimes]

That inline 8 sounds fucking BRUTAL

[@Luckyjo21]

3.4/4.3L Inline-8 sounds amazing

[@DeltaOps3]

LOL THERES YOUR ULTIMATE 2.4L NEON SRT4 SWAP GUYS

[@slamrycamry8964]

If you happen to make another video, you should include the Tucker 48 (Torpedo) ohv flat-6, which was originally a helicopter engine. Great video btw :D; you earned a new subscriber.

[@VisioRacer]

+Slamry Camry Thank you, I appreciate it. I will check it out, thanks for idea!

[@patrickaicheler]

+VisioRacer and please the Auto Union 16 cylinder ! :)

[@jostert]

i love your intro, its so super chill! :D

[@stiffygoats5337]

I have never heard of the Chrysler turbine that car is crazy!! Too bad there are only a small amount left :( keep up the good work Visio!!

[@VisioRacer]

+Stiffy GoaTs Thanks :)

[@tomboi1978]

+Stiffy GoaTs Jay Leno is the only private owner with one that he drives. The Peterson Museum in LA has one of the working ones as well. I don't know where the third is.

[@pallem.christensen456]

My dad had the q7 v8 4.2 when it was released back in 2005-6. What an amazing sound.

[@Træfisk]

the inline 8 sounds awesome tho, we need to make more of those :p

[@SamXbit]

Germans were so ahead of their time in 30s

[@zogworth]

+Sam Lotfi Not especially but because there weren't allowed to produce weapons (hahahaha) they concentrated on other stuff. Look at the Schneider Trophey. People from all over the world were producing beautiful amazing machines. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schneider_Trophy

[@SamXbit]

+zogworth haha...that was interesting

[@zodiuss2346]

+Sam Lotfi We still are

[@zogworth]

rather them than trump supporters

[@zogworth]

jokrj people want 15 dollarydoos to serve fast food because that what they need to be paid in order to survive! If you want people serving you fast food then you gotta pay them enough to live. Failing that get some robots in there. No one who has ever done a customer facing job would ever describe food service people as lazy. The welfare queen idea is a complete myth and doesn't exist. Google it... I am neither retarded nor a troll. Trump will destroy America like he has everything he has touched.

[@branon6565]

The Chrysler Turbine car is a work of art.....

[@jamienorman2622]

That W25 Mercedes- Benz is like music to my ears.

[@thestig572420]

Love the videos keep them coming.

[@timmungenast]

Bonus points for the Tatra baby V8 and the Merc straight 8!

[@davida1hiwaaynet]

All of them are amazing but I especially love the Tatra air-cooled small V8. That is pure awesome!

[@Soderdna]

OMG that I8 Merc sounded amazing!

[@KastaRules]

That Mercedes-Benz Inline-8 @ 7:24 !!!

[@N.C.M.]

That in-line 8 Mercedes sounds so damn aggressive it's amazing! And the supercharger makes it sound like it's a revving battle between a formula and that super aggressive I8 I am wowed by that sound

[@laservader1]

That Mercedes W25, what a sound!

[@toasterbathboi6298]

That Mercedes I-8 sounds amazing.

[@toddlithgow]

That chrysler is badass

[@cpufreak101]

+todd lithgow i actually heard they had an assembly line all ready to go, it was that efficiency standards came in while they were finalizing for mass production, which essentially killed off the jet car

[@toddlithgow]

Justin Noker oh ok,thanks for info ☺

[@cpufreak101]

todd lithgow np

[@charlesvan13]

+todd lithgow The turbine is more reliable than a piston engine, but they had poor mileage for the amount of output. In other words, it was a slow gas hog.

[@toddlithgow]

charlesvan13 well when we can figure out hydrogen fuel it could reappear

[@yukinoinu]

The jet car I saw that in Michigan. Freaking glorious thing.

[@tsarthiccolasii3917]

8:25 lol 2 mpg!

[@senzar9970]

Lorenza Semaj McCoy Jr. or rather the inefficiency

[@SolaricSage116]

@@senzar9970 1 Mile Per Gallon... What.

[@jacksonschuler7831]

fun fact that Mercedes inline 8 has roller main bearings and roller rod bearings. There are also 2 crankshafts, one for cylinders 1-4 and one for cylinders 5-8; power is sent to the transmission from the middle of the engine where the two cranks meet

[@Ryu_Makkuro]

That inline 8 sounds very similar to a Viper V10 engine. In other words, epic as hell :D

[@0595michal]

This Tatra V8, sounds brilliant.

[@michaelovitch]

2:26 it's certainly bathing in milk...

[@alkoyyy]

it's amazing. that 7 cylinder kawasaki still sounds like any other two stroke engine :D

[@Cobra4993]

I'm in love with the inline 8 cylinder engine! I want a production car with that engine!

[@19mymusic91]

the inline 8 while supercharged while only producing roughly 300hp was a hell of a lot back in the day but now getting that number is fairly easy and nowadays 2200-2500hp is the goal right now

[@Juanknes]

Not in a race car. Most race car have less than 1000 HP, only cars used for 1/4 mile or stupid drifting have more HP, because they don't need to last a complete race without blowing up.

[@19mymusic91]

+Juan Carlos Damonte that was meant as a general comment, but that is true that drags need the HP on both bottom- and top-end and drifting, like to have top-end power, however, i do agree with what you said

[@paulcaswell2813]

By the time that engine ceased development in 1937, it was kicking out over twice that 300bhp... A ferocious beast indeed.

[@Module79L]

5:04 - It's not a Honda, it's a Yamaha! ; D Back in 1991 I had the chance to ride a RD500LC and, man, it's a beast! You can't keep the front wheel on the ground, not matter how hard you try! : D

[@BIGBLOCK5022006]

Sounds like another version of the Kawasaki H1 500cc triple.

[@RC2497]

+BIGBLOCK5022006 not even close

[@JFinne9]

+Module79L Awesome machines. Currently hunting for one. If you still ride and love those old 2-strokes, grab an RZ350. Easier to work on. Most Banshee motor upgrades are bolt-on. Significantly lighter and also a wicked ride. Oh, and not crazy $$$ (Yea, I own one, and love it)

[@Module79L]

JB Offroad, that was when I was younger and 2-strokes were abundant. : ) Two of my biker friends, one had a TZR 250 and the other one had its super-motard version, the TDR 250. I liked the TZR better because it was nimbler and more powerful but no matter how many times I rode any of them I couldn't be prepared for the 500. : ) I rode a RD 350 LC once but it was more of a sports tourer, not a pure sportbike like the TZR or the RD 500 LC.

[@JFinne9]

Module79L The RD350LC is in-between the RD and RZ, power and performance wise. Another on my list, but not yet. The TZR is a very nice bike, though I hear constantly that they are rather high maintenance, picky about tuning etc....(Not that I wouldn't love one) I'd instantly jump on a TDR though. Different, but just so cool. And rare.... Yea, I'm addicted to 2Ts :D

[@elstonedoo853]

Love German turbo sounds. My Jetta certainly has a different turbo sound than my Eclipse had

[@renatoluraghi5773]

the audi sounds great!!

[@LordTwaddle]

How about the Brabus engines? Stock was a 700cc 3cl twin spark turbo with 101hp and around 110lbs, it's a really nice unit but they did a doubled up version which was a 1.4l V6 biturbo twin spark with around 160hp

[@tatertotsjackson9984]

the vortec 8100 may not sound too impressive but i drove a truck for a few weeks that had one and it had probably the best feeling powerband of any engine ive ever driven other than maybe the newer bmw v8's

[@JuliuszBaczynski]

8:30, muricah at its essence and I love it!

[@majikfuzzybutt7390]

I am 54 and I have grown to enjoy the raw torque at lower rpm, instead of pushing until the engine screams that it has had enough,

[@jayyoutube8790]

I am currently rebuilding a 305 V6 to drop in an S-10.. Shooting for some mad torque ...

[@andyharman3022]

I hate the supercharger whine on the Mercedes W25, but the exhaust is glorious.

[@datsunmudder]

its kinda cool seeing how similar 8 cyl engines sound even if there inline or not and also that 2.5l v8 sounds beefy but only makes 105hp haha

[@FbbcFastbikesandbeautifulcars]

That A8 tho sick!

[@nicholasnorman6094]

The Merc W25 sounds undoubtably beautiful...good Lord....

[@AndreiTupolev]

Supercharger in the Merc W25 sounds just like a Lancia Delta S4. I love the MPG readout in that 8 litre Chevy. Yup, if you've got one of them, you're going to be concerned about that.

[@carlover1816]

I think the 4.2 TDI was in the Top Gear episode in which Clarkson drove from London to Edinburgh and back on 1 tank.

[@matrix6241]

man that straight 8 sounded mean, I love it.

[@hugomartel8552]

I still shiver.... I think mad isnt enough....

[@ivanperez2003]

No matter if the 8 Cyl is V configuration or inline, it will always sound powerful

[@aandptech10]

I subbed, awesome videos. If you make another unique engine video you should include the Pratt & Whitney R-4360 wasp. It's a 28 cylinder quad bank radial.

[@VisioRacer]

+aandptech10 There is one new video concept coming next, a bit different from all these, but still aimed on engine sound. Hope you will like it. And thanks!

[@Snofielf]

Jesus that supercharger on that I8 is loud as fuck

[@bluelightningfilms57]

that mercedes inline 8 sounds perfect

[@Alexx120493]

9:18. So this guy just started a 2.5l V8 with a rope like your standard lawn mower.

[@mricemantoyou]

the flying Millyard was made from two cylinders from a Pratt and Witney R1340 radial engine and is not the engine being run on the trailer (which looks like it could be 2 cyl off a Merlin)

[@doitchico]

THIS SERIES IS FUCKING AWESOME

[@cameronn2634]

That inline 8 was savage as fuck

[@BeardyGit89]

Theres a 4.2l V8 TDI Q7 down the road from me it sounds amazing

[@nico5179]

What about the legendary Triflux engine? Mounted on the prototype Lancia ECV1 group B monster rally car? 1.8cc 16V slighlty moved inline 4 that could produce power of over 600bhp! What an amazing engine. Beautifully engineered!

[@CIubDuck]

+nico5179 Yo do know that 1.8cc is 0,0018L right..? There is no feasible way whatsoever to create an inline 4 with 16 valves on a 0.0018L engine

[@nico5179]

+asdda 1.8 means 1800cc. Its an abbreviation.

[@CIubDuck]

+nico5179 1.8k cc would be 1800, I have never seen nor heard 1.8 being used instead of 1800. It could easily be confused, like a 50cc moped being 50 000cc instead.

[@ACTIVEGAMER298]

+asdda just don't be a jerk about you know what he ment

[@ACTIVEGAMER298]

+TheRotaryEF *meant

Straight eights were the engine of choice for 30s race cars

[@Tooom3k]

What about 9L V16 from Rolls Royce? I think it should be in your next Mad Engines video ;)

[@Woahago]

personally, the Volkswagen Touraeg had a v10 Diesel that put out 550 lb ft torque. So if you could put that in, thanks!

[@squarebodycasewademckenney6190]

The v12 two stroke desiel ohhhhh that sounded good
