620bhp for 27 litres though? That's shit considering most N/A 2 litres put out about 150bhp

FABULOUS!! Looneys at their absolute best. To be honest, if the car ends up being a runner and doesn't need servicing every 30 minutes, I'd prefer one to a Veyron. After all - they're making more than 50 of those, so they're almost common. Yuk.

Timrud, read through the thread think it says about turbos etc. Anyway tehres a pic on page 13

Sweet!

I was talking about this to a mate and he said an enquiry had been made, didn't know if he was right or not.

Another stupid comment from Ry_b. When will he learn not to open his mouth when he doesn't know what he is talking about.

will probably get slated for this...

but I don't think it's going to accelerate very quickly.

I think it'll have a Really Really high top speed, but acceleration will be a bit pish. Though this may be different if they turbo charge it.

Turbocharging it will only give it about 1100bhp

i reckon the transmission will go bang.

Do you understand the difference between power and torque?

I just remember once at rockingham (the oval track) - there were some classic big capacity cars out on track, like 10 and 14 litres maybe more.

but they all seemed fairly slow, made lots of noise and sounded nice - but didn't sound like they revved high. Just lots of lazy torque and power, not exactly ideal for a race car.

then you got the ascar's come out with there 500 bhp v8's and what a difference

It's an amazing project and so much work gone into it, but I think a few people are getting blinded by the numbers.

Bigger is not necisarily always better.

The engine was in tanks and planes (essentially) - neither of these need a similar characteristic of a engine for a good race car.

A tank just needs a lot of torque to move its fat ass.

There will be lots of lazy power, just don't think it'll be amazingly useable - other than say fitting a very high speed - long gearred gear box, and running it for high speed runs.

Yes ed I know what torque and power is.

We'll see i guess

I just think a lot of people think wow 27 litres - it's gonna be amazing. It's gonna weigh a LOT! for a start.

The Power and Torque of this thing is what I call Lazy. Yes there's a lot there, but the way it's delivered is just not good for a 'race car' (which later on in that thread they're talking about race car paint jobs etc)

My example of why I care not of big displacement.

I can fully understand the work gone into that beast. But I would place money on this beating it no probs (was just browsing vids of cars on google) - Ok most def not the quickest, but street legal car - it's absolute madness.

outside it looks just nice a normal skyline

http://www.exvitermini.com/movies1104/KismoR34Incar.avi

here's a video of acceleration ... Yes the big numbers are MPH (not KPH!!)

one outside

http://www.exvitermini.com/movies1104/KismoR34External.avi

one easily hitting 201 mph

Paul, i can see whta you mean, and usally id agree

but this is a rover SD1 with a 27litre tank engien in it, whats not to like

yes it would prober be faster with a twin turbo V8, but then its niether as intresting or as challangin to build
