Motor Bugatti Veyron W16

[5cylcoupe]

would be cooler if it was a 2 stroke

[seksuole]

I wonder how many blow off valves it have?

2 for piston? xD pistons compress the air and it should blow off xD just joking xD

[Sizuykeks]

Piston orgy.

[Nskawtea1]

That's too many moving parts for my eye

[HesseJamez]

It's more like a V8 with double pistons.

[maemaisagat]

looks like little chicken head out of the nest....asking for food..lol:)))

[nmdiesel89]

wonder what the firing order is?

[crazyasamexican]

i bet they must get horrible gas millage, but i guess is ur buying a car like this, its just another turd in the toilet for u

[pickmelter38]

I knew these were from space!

[RocketScientist79]

Mm A close intersperced double V8 type engine rather than a genuine W16. I bet they probably took some design prompts from the VW VR6 for this kind of close knit offset cylinder head arrangement. A true W engine is more like what English Electric Napier produced for their railton car.

[RocketScientist79]

@RocketScientist79 Still a very good animation nontheless and very educational. The only other 16 I remember was on the BRM methanol runner from the fifties that was a V16 based around a 1.5 litre cut down and supercharged Rolls Royce Merlin copy. Very noisy and rather unreliable.

[thewheeliekid]

@RocketScientist79 "bet they probably took design prompts from the VW VR6"  yea, they did. because Bugatti is owned by VW

[RocketScientist79]

@thewheeliekid So in terms of static and dynamic balancing it must be like a straight 8, I.e. 8 crank pins, set into 4 pairs thus the two end pins rise and fall together (1 and 8), but surely a balance shaft is required to account for the two V's being out of synchronisation.

I.e. 1 and 8 are the same, opposed by 2 and 7 at 180 degrees out. The rest appear to be at 90 degrees to those already mentioned for engine smoothness?

@wav5000kb

sorry but I never said v16. I said half radial, like on old aircraft where you have all cylinders around the prop shaft, since all cylinders are directed towards a central point. An engine in a V is a literal meaning as you look down the crankshaft correct? So if you look down the crank on this it's not a V, not even a double V... Hence the confusion.

[motomorfo]

vaya mierda



[bluestreak101]

I'm a little confused by the terminology used here. I assumed the definition of a W engine was basically two V engines linked together by a gear of some sort (Two crankshafts). This seems not to show a double V engine at all but almost half a radial engine since all cylinders use the same crankshaft?

[wav5000kb]

@bluestreak101

it's a W 16 and not a v16 because if you look at the cylinders from the side you can see that they are put on the crankshaft in a w pattern

[vwflat4driver]

w16 is based on the original VW vr6. more sophisticated though yet finds its roots in the vr6

[superbungabunga]

they could have just used Xs and saved space, but it would prolly get hot quicker

[BudenD40]

4 cycle



[turner593]

Help please does anyone know how many cycle the Bughatti engine is Im having an argument with my friend and he thinks its a 16 cycle engine and we both know its 16 cylinders but Im sure its not a 16 cycle engine I was thinking its maybe a 6 cycle engine but not really sure, we could use some help here anyone .???

[FEAR6655]

@turner593 Its a 4 cycle engine

[fxlandry]

I though it was 2 v8 o.o

[baseballman1321]

nice crankshaft haha

[darknite24]

Its like a The seal of the Forbidden Beast has Broken! This Looks Monster!!!

[TheFullyOmniscient]

Your wrong, it is actually right.

Everybody knows that even my 7 year old sister knows the fully basics of the car.

[laurentlapierre]

that's not a W-type engine

[lolfake111]

@laurentlapierre Actually it is, two sets of 8 cylinders split into two V's. It's more like two V's with a 30-50 degree angle between

[laurentlapierre]

@lolfake111 no it isn't, but it's now more about what people understand under a W-engine. A real W-eninge has only 3 cilinder benches with in each bench an equal number of cilinders. So you could have 3x2=6 or 3x3=9 or 3x4=12 or 3x5=15 configuration ... so you can't get 16 cylinders in a W-engine. This W-eninge here is the "modern" version of a W-engine, but actually it's more 2 V-engines modified to one. This is a real W-engine: watch?v=BBOPyV4Bbxw And sorry for my english, but i did my best :)

[akhristov]

@laurentlapierre You put two Vs together, what do you get? ;) VV. W.

[laurentlapierre]

@akhristov indeed a W, but a w-engine is a " \!/ " -engine but you can't write it like that so they type a w :). This one is like you say a double V not a w (= \!/) - engine. But 2 V makes idd a W configuration.

[akhristov]

@laurentlapierre Then technically what you're referring to as a W engine is a \!/ engine, and a double-V engine is a W engine. :P

Anyway, it's just a terminology conflict. They call it a WR anyway I think, but since those engines are more common than the three-bank engines, I think the W terminology is fine.

[XxENovaxX]

@laurentlapierre Yes it is...

[kddcc]

ITS SO BEAUTIFUL TO WATCH..... (0_o)

[AdMiRaLeDpIeTt]

Will they have a diesel version of this engine type?

[Neopulse00]

@AdMiRaLeDpIeTt Uuf.... Maybe I think. If Audi won a Le Mans with a diesel engine then they sure as hell have the technology to pull it off.

[wafi0123]

in future renesis rotary engin u cud fit it like same way get more smooth torque.

[Sultan4372]

ohhhh god

[mrethanparker]

je dirais plutôt un simple V8...

[daendiscoming]

hahaha it is classic v6 from toyo carina e 1996 2.0 Gti

[japa8294]

buito bo a animação

[darkodarko1000]

yea
