tipsy Jock Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 no 2x8 takeaway 8 lol Thanks, Callum ← You don't take away the 8 surely? two V6's (W12) will equal a 12 cylinder engine makes sense to me Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OD404 Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 yer a W12 basicly two v6's you can also get W16's which is two v8's put together. I think the zonda uses a W18 or something. That 1000 horsepower car or what ever it is is going to be using one i think aswell. lolz picture up when i see him i will be able to get more info off him aswell the car is a beaste. guy edit 8+8 doesnt = 18 it = 16 :"> (Y)" ← The W12 was developed by the VW group to give a better use of space over a standard V12. It was loosely based on two of their VR6 engines placed side-by-side in a W configuration (hence the name). As far as I am aware they are the only manufacturers of the W12 and have no plans to attempt a W16 (which for clarification would be two V8s), though there is such a thing as a V16... Seeing as the W16 doesn't exist, Zonda don't use one, they do however, use a AMG tuned V12 from Mercedes, and the Bugatti Veyron (I'm guessing that's the 1000bhp car you are on about) uses a quad turbo'd W12. EDIT: Actually it appears that VW did start developement of a W18 engine which features 3 banks of 6 cyliders in the W configuration, but they canned it due to firing sequence problems. I believe the Bugatti was going to have this engine, but was given the W12 when developement on the W18 stopped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spunkey_monkey_boy Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 change the black rusty bull bar for a nice crome solid one to ram silly people! ← bull bars kill people, they are not needed or cool, sorry mate but bull bars are just a good way of guaranteeing that if you do ever hit anyone by mistake they'll end up dead not just injured!!!

Heatsink Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 These threads always seem to go down the "My car is more racey that yours (and so I'm more of a man than you)" route. We've just got a new car which ticks all the boxes for the phase of life that we're at with our baby boy: 1. Space for loads of stuff for long journies 2. Comfortable cabin with lots of practical storage spaces 3. Good engine size for ease of driving but without getting too thirsty on petrol 4. Cheap to run (e.g. not a premium name so parts and services are cheaper) ^ Don't have a photo of the actual car, but it's the same as above, 1.6L 5 door Hyundai Matrix We were going to get a Renault Scenic but the Matrix was much better value for money and had a much nicer interior (where you spend those long journies) although admittedly the exterior isn't as swish.
