New VW flat 16

What the hell is that powering?

Nice. I wonder if that would go in a kombi mid-mounted? I may have to settle for 12 cylinders though!! 😎

What would it sound like?:o

The neighbours would love you coming home late at night 😀

A VERRY GOOD FRIEND IN NEWCASTLE HAS A WORKING FLAT 8 ( MADE LIKE THE PHOTO), I WANT TO PUT IT IN BUGGY............

HOLY-MOLY!!!:o

I wish I had a tenth of the spare-time that that guy must have!!!!

What a champ:thumb

wouldnt the back one have to be running that little bit faster than the next one and so on.............
heaps of timing problems would occur yes??
aahhhhh who cars, he is probably only cutting his grass with it :P

I've seen the flat 8 speed buggy is referring to. Very interesting indeed.

A 16 cylinder. Wouldn't mind one of those to fire up here each Sunday morning. Although the strata title has been leaving me alone lately.

I was watching on a pubs sky chanel a while ago the tractor pulling contest that this setup would be in. Tractor pulling is where you build high torque monster engines and then fight for traction to pull a set weight in a sled over a certian distance as fast as possible.
Heaps of combination such as three Jag V12 joined, twin supercharged V8's,2x three rotor rotaries running on nitro etc etc.

Think I'd be missing the Firewall.
Pieces of exploding cast iron need to land somewhere.

The 'Outlaw Too' has got me curious... I wonder how they hooked up the third engine to the rest of the drivetrain?:o
