Thanks. I agree, considering the piston movement shown in the video and the 90 degree configuration chosen, that's the only real optionHolm86 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2024 7:23 pmI believe the crankshaft is made up of two 90° cross plane V8's, merged in the middle with a 45° offsetOO7 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 25, 2024 11:12 pmI prefer the Tourbillion myself. I'd like to know what type of crankshaft they are using, as I could quite work it out from the video. Whatever it is, it still sounds like the BRM V16. I don't understand why it (V16 configuration) doesn't have a higher pitch sound than a V12. I'd have expected something like twin flat plane V8 running in concert.Holm86 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 25, 2024 5:03 pmI love the engine and engineering that went into this one, but when it comes to looks I still prefer the Chiron, it's much prettier, this one looks a bit squashed at the front, perhaps I just need to see it in some other colours, and with some better looking wheels
EDIT:
I've just reviewed the video again and can see how the crank layout is different compared to the BRM design, which makes sense given the BRM has a 135° 'V'. To have a BRM style crank, the engine configuration would need to be 135° or 45°. I prefer those crank layouts aesthetically, as you get two cylinders in the same bank that continuously match each others stroke position, like in a flat plane V8 or a V12.
