Cosworth is not only made V12 for Aston Martin Valkyrie and GMA T50, T50s and T33 but also designing and making brand new V16 engine for Bugatti that will rev up to 9000 rpm redline.

The Napier 24-litre W12 engine of the 1930's was used in a couple of famous cars; the Napier Railton and the Napier Bentley. The former was commissioned by John Cobb who raced it several times at Brooklands prior to WWII, breaking many track records. The Napier Bentley was a much later car, being built in 1972. As you can imagine, the sound of these monsters is.... well, monstrous!
-
Why did nobody want an engine from somebody they'd never heard of who was proposing a "unique" design that the team themselves would have to pay to develop? It's a mystery
-
Never seen an engine like it before! A prayer for all the jaguars.
-
You forgot the 1991 Audi Avus concept presented at the Tokyo Motor Show with its 6.0 L 60-valve W12 made of wood and plastic...
-
And now look at what Rob Dahm is doing with Tyson's 12 Rotor, getting it ready to run and tune up. It's simillar, a three banks of fours. Rotors, which are three sides each, making it a 36 cylinder.
-
The Napier Lion aero engine was built in the early 20th century in this configuration and was completely successful at delivering power. It was widely used. But it didn’t have to fit in a race car and had the advantage of big cubic inches and the normal de-rated output for constant running.
-
A great name for the concept W18 engine would've been the "666" engine LOL.
-
The worst 12 cylinder is three 4 cylinder Land Rover Ingenium engines next to each other.
-
The Napier Railton’s W12 was the same as this, with three four cylinders stuck together. It’s a WW1 aero engine slapped in a land speed record car. I had a great chat with the lead engineer keeping that car going at Goodwood last year. Fascinating piece of engineering.
-
W engines with 3 banks were 'common' in the pre war days but to see that in the 80s in insane but so extremely cool!
-
"No Jaguar X-Types were hurt in the making of this video." How can you hurt something that is already broken?
-
I love hearing about the high count engine designs, I especially love thinking about how some of these engines could be improved with modern tech like Freevalve to simplify the timing and tuning.
-
Yes, yes,yes Mike. More engineering freedom on engine design.
-
I love F1 minnows, but the Life team had to borrow tyre pressure gauges from other teams at races.
-
I love all the technical information from drive tribe
-
Definately warming up to Mike, this type of historical mini doc is very cool.
-
The Life engine was actually a 'proper' W form, like the Napier Lion. The Bentley and Bugatti Veyron engines are really the ones that are misnamed.
-
If you want to watch a formula with multiple engine layouts then I would suggest WEC and IMSA. The Sebring 12 hour race at the weekend had way more excitement than a whole season of F1.
-
I think it might be more interesting to have a gear limited top speed and allow any size, power, and layout engine you want.
