Engine from a Leopard 1A5 tank

[hammerogod]

It's big, it's noisy, it's oily, it's smoky, it's nearly useless when sitting on the ground.....It's BEAUTIFUL.

[CrazyForCooCooPuffs]

lol they could just use a v12 diesel...better

[Raiden47]

THE TURBOS.  OMG.

[omfgwtfbbq90]

so it's a V10 why just not make it a V12 if you're already so close =/

[davidplatenkamp]

In reality you feel the sound just as much as you hear it. It's an experience.

[teletubbykiller54]

screw the viper's 8 liter V-10 i want this!

[kwikmans]

phoeee big turbo`s !!

[airmitch10]

@kwikmans i belive these engines are supercharged

[kevpple]

now lets see some ricer drop 1 of these in a little honda

[rweiii1]

wow... happy tree friends music? lol

[MyMIXmedia]

Imagine fitting this on a mack truck.

[jcezary]

MTU MB 838 CaM 500, 10-cylinder, 37.4 litres, multi-fuel engine

830 PS (819 hp, 610 kW) at 2200 RPM

a tank designed and produced in Germany that first entered service in 1965

[Roestikrokette]

the leopard has a MTU MB 873 12-Zylinder-Diesel with 47.6 l capacity and 1500 hp... not a 10 Zylinder with 37.4l....

[schokomann173]

@Roestikrokette thats wrong. The Leopard 1 Tank had a 10 Cylindre Engine. just like jcezary wrote. What you mean is a Engine of a Leopard 2 Tank

[schokomann173]

@Roestikrokette thats wrong. The Leopard 1 Tank had a 10 Cylindre Engine. just like jcezary wrote. What you mean is a Engine of a Leopard 2 Tank

[douro20]

@Roestikrokette

The newer ones do. This is from a 1A5.

[stefd68]

This sounds gooood

[N00B283]

uuuuhh i am danish :)

[walker5461]

how big were those turbos?

[kibidk]

This V10 may only have just a little more than half the horsepower of the Leo 2 V12 - but the sound of the Leo 1 in the distance thundering towards you is much, much more intimidating than the sound of a Leo 2 coming towards you.

[Mccarronm04]

I want that in a 4x4 truck....NOW!!!!!

[logadrim]

are u sure? he takes his 300litre per 100km ;)

[kernowrock555]

yep.... fit this in a chop frame... and make harley riders cry..... hahahahaa

[BikerRussell]

And yet you have improved gas milage on a harley. So your car is a machine for converting gas into... not much sound at all?

[jham1980]

830 horsepower and 18 million pound feet of torque.

[TacticalSuperRebel]

no, just a couple thousand ;)

[Jack93d]

Wenn das dingen angeschmissen wird würde ich vor den ansaugstutzen weggehen xD...sonst hängt man hinterher drin^^

[TheBigTittyTwister]

Wär' doch 'ne Prima-Melkmaschine, was?

[T1w4z]

@TheBigTittyTwister

Die armen Kühe:)

[TheBigTittyTwister]

@T1w4z Ich meinte eigentlich für Brachio- und Brontosaurier. Obwohl... Hatten die eigentlich Euter? Ne, waren ja Reptilien. Ach verdamt, FAIL...

[T1w4z]

@TheBigTittyTwister

Wie wäre es mit Anderson und Buster? Die haben doch auch ein ordentliches Kaliber.:)

[opckw147]

German POWER !!!

[fangus503]

that engine is almost too big

[sisutrucks]

the sound this engine make is pure music.

[baciabbracci90]

[Imahappylittlewhore]

no no and no .

they just bought it from the germans as anyone now who has leropard2(and there diffrent versions)

[sisutrucks]

well leo 2s is made in many contries. not demank though.

[baciabbracci90]

are these soldiers italian?

[MadsKaizer]

Danish soldiers

[Ratbiker]

thats a nice sounding engine lol.

[Morrica]

Aren't they a MAN Diesel?

[Hochwaldbote]

No. It is a MTU (Motoren- und Turbinenunion) multifuel-engine.

[b20mr2]

if its 800 horsepower then its probably got about 2000 ft pds torque(diesel) god damn!

[Fabscher19]

3000 ft pds and 41 litres i think

leo 2 has got 1200 hp and 47 litres and 5000 ft pds

[fnglert]

Leo2 has 1500 hp.

[Fabscher19]

right

MTU MB 873 12-Zylinder-Diesel

1.103 kW (1.500 PS)

[benzvibal]

DAMNN!!!

look at those HUGE TURBOS!!!

[hammerogod]

Just.Freakin'.Amazing.

Heh...when it comes to Engines size DOES count.

[nitrousboy0311]

Holy shit those turbos are huge!

[CAPTAINQUINN]

wonderful.

[timex129]

Don't blame you. It's fun workin on the V-10 one. Have yet to work on the V-12. Sounds awesome on the run-up stand when your 2 feet away from the pack. :D

[215alessio]

@BorstyGMC It has an achilles heel.

I drove the Leopard 1 A5 the engines fuel lines break very easy when you accellerate it to drive fast, spilling fuel everywere

It was designed to serve on a boat or small submarine where you don't accellerate decellerate on a fast freqency

[kenfo0]

@215alessio that problem cannot possibly be difficult to fix. stainless steel fuel lines, for example.

[215alessio]

@kenfo0

maybe if they can withstand more pressure fluctuations. Even the new fuel lines breaked when fast accelleration /decelleration uccurred.

Anyway It wasn't specific designed as a tank engine but it did is job good enough

[thadutchguy]

its a compleetly different engine than the Leopard 2 engine, this one has a lower sound

[Pzgraf]

Best sound of any tank!

So incredibly low pitched.

[thadutchguy]

yeah, leopard engines are the best tank sounds i've heard!

[timex129]

The Leo1 has a V-10 supercharged diesel, while the Leo2 has a V-12 turbocharged diesel.

[thadutchguy]

ok:):D

i like it both!:P

Vruuuoooooommmmmm!!:P

[spitfire690]

wow...that sounds sooo manly!

[Kenzofeis]

Let's put one of those in my Opel haha

[ikalimnos]

the sound of the leo 1 v10 motor was absolutely the best thinh to hear in our camp. I loved it when we started up in the morning, and I loved more at the maintence depot when we runned it out-of-the-box! 830Hp of power

[Hanj74]

FEEEED MOTORLYD. Har du mere fra den skuffe? Tjeck lige leopard 1 in terrain. Det er med den sjove mand som kører.

[cokie58]

I f**king LOVE the sound of that engine! I was a crewman on an American M1A1 and I absolutely hated it's turbines engine. It sucked down fuel, ate spare parts, and required daily V-pak(air filter) maintence. Give me a piston-engine any day!

[jakelee16]

Seems like many people hated the Abrams engine.

[Batment]

how many liters is this engine?

[MadsKaizer]

37400 cc or 37,4 liters

[FruityLoopsas]

This is leopard 1 38liters... leopard 2 has 48 liters engine, and 1500HP :-DDD coolll...

[del885]

@MadsKaizer I see it has great fuel economy... lol.. just kidding

[wzrox]

there is a vid off a mustang with this engine!!!!!!

[afursitsibn]

???

[Grottis86]

Hum ... how about building a frame around that motor and press in a seat . steerting wheel and some wheels and axels :) ....and maybe some weight :)

[jakelee16]

Why not change the wheels to tracks? Lets make a powerful personal off road beast !

[leemunger]

will that fit in my f150

[ultramarine13]

Not bloody likely! The engine looks to be almost the same size as your truck!
