"At a 1200-RPM idle, you have to meet the emissions regulations. You need a stable, proper idle. If it’s unstable, your emissions are unstable."
Moers claimed this issue caused a total of nine months of delays in the car's development process, but now, the team is back on track.
I wonder if there is really an advantage in using that F1 engine. It is all marketing, and that engine is the most advanced part of this car, otherwise it has quite a dated design compared to the competition. Funny thing is I'm more interested/excited about the Cosworth V12 of Valkyrie than this F1 V6!bill shoe wrote: ↑Fri Oct 19, 2018 4:22 amThe most boring-looking hypercar is now 9 months behind schedule due to idle emission issues.

At least the custom interior decoration is not delayed.
It is by far going to be the most advanced road engine ever made. The cosworth V12 is essentially using 2007 technologyMorteza wrote: ↑Fri Oct 19, 2018 12:25 pmI wonder if there is really an advantage in using that F1 engine.

Of course! But it is somewhat upsetting to see the car being delayed due to the fact that its engine has problems with emissions.NoDivergence wrote: ↑Fri Oct 19, 2018 11:52 pmIt is by far going to be the most advanced road engine ever made.

Good question imo. Wasn´t it the old and golden "Group C" regulations where they just limited the fuel?Morteza wrote: ↑Fri Oct 19, 2018 12:25 pmI wonder if there is really an advantage in using that F1 engine.

Yeah but on the other side, when you look at the spectacular Supercars I wonder how much of the spectacle is actually costing performance rather than adding to it.
It's not the aero that has progressed, but rather the design target. We could have Mach 3+ aircraft right now. It just gulps so much fuel, it doesn't make business sense. If performance was the end all be all, we could be way further in both automotive and aeronautical designEdax wrote: ↑Wed Aug 19, 2020 10:37 pmYeah but on the other side, when you look at the spectacular Supercars I wonder how much of the spectacle is actually costing performance rather than adding to it.
There is only so much you can do given the constraints of 2 seats, one engine, 4 wheels and a set of head and taillights at prescribed positions.
Look at airplanes. They are quite ruthless in chasing efficiency. 40 years ago you had 2,3,4 engines, tail mounted, underwing, overwing, high wings, low wings, t-tails etc. As Aero progressed only one configuration remained. As a result you have to be an enthousiast to keep models apart, and we have gotten to a point that even fuselage colors are considered an extravagance due to weight and load on the airco.
