I'm surprised it was also proposed for F1 usage
Not to mention it being designed by the same guy who did the BMW M12

Apparently they wanted SEAT to bankroll it coz ooo Spanish

That's fascinating, and also a bit cursed. They could've tested it in a Spice SE90, but I'm not sure if the chassis would be good enough for the engine

I would assume with the layshaft centre drive it'd have issues

I would assume with the layshaft centre drive it'd have issues
To be honest, I'm kinda unsurprised, considering Yamaha's V12, Motori Moderni-Subaru's Flat 12, and Lamborghini's 3512 all were unreliable. I think the engine would just add onto the trend of unreliable 12 cylinder engines
blazing drift
So now we got Neotech, Isuzu, HKS, Suzuki, MGN, Nissan, Subaru and that all made 12 cylinders which found no footing
blazing drift
Mmm
lean hatch

MGN made a 3 bank W12 with Rotary valves
So Life Racing Engines weren't the only ones to create a W12 F1 engine

But it did pave way for the sigma Engine

Underpowered and outgunned, but it still was unique for its layout and exhaust note

I hear on some high quality audio rips a hint of that tone on low rev on throttles and I just wish it was sonic unleashed
Oh crikey you can hear something up there... Huh
lean hatch
I always wondered why many F1 teams in the 1980s never used the same exhaust layout Ferrari used when they tested the 126C4 at Brands Hatch in that one video
blazing drift
It seems that, from a video on 12:1 headers that the cons outweigh the pros
lean hatch
What are the cons?
blazing drift
Like weight, having to further tune their length for the right powerband
That powerband being more biased to top end peaks
Which is why NASCAR usually used it for restrictor Superspeedways as you're up there only
And packaging
lean hatch
Ah.
blazing drift
That's as far as I understand
But who gives one when everything's spec anyway
Use hybrid torque ion know
The example I think of is the Cadillac LMDh with a centre zhaust
lean hatch
What if the LMP3's had a center exhaust
blazing drift
That's an X right dere tell yew whut

THAS WHAT AM SAYIN
I have said this a bunch in the r/Indy server that the critique of those engine notes would've been blunted by an 8:1

Coz even in 2000 you had a phew as it was the transition, and I posit that 8:1's...
Oh.... 8:1 headers during the 2000's in the IRL/Indycar Series would've been nice, too....
blazing drift
Why do you sound disappointed?
lean hatch
I'm not disappointed. I just remembered the 2000's
blazing drift
Bad idea
lean hatch
I'm also curious to know how the 2010-2011 Honda V8's would've sounded with 8:1 exhaust, cause normally, the exhaust note these things produced were so nasal sounding
blazing drift
Mmm, the only exception to this rule, which I'd forgive... Is that 1994 500i
Because it's simple, quiet note was sinister
lean hatch
Yup
blazing drift
Tho if everything else is screaming like a WW2 dogfight then even with a central exhaust it might still be such a big contrast
blazing drift
I'm also curious to know how the 2010-2011 Honda V8's would've sounded with 8:1 ...
You could add these dreams to pretty much every engine bar sya the Offy which you know... Is only 4 anyway
The Novi, the Ford/Foyt, the Eagle-Chevrolet's, etc.
Like the 1997-2002 tones would be ear shatteringly high
lean hatch
Like the 1997-2002 tones would be ear shatteringly high
You know what would also be ear shatteringly high that comes from the same era?
if CART used 8:1 headers, especially when CART had that 16000 RPM rev range

De Ferran's record lap plus those headers = Madness

@noble tree how’s the model coming along

Porsche wanted to enter in 1981 with a 2.65 Single turbo version of the Typ.935, but their threat of being an endurance based engine having good power the entire time led particularly AJ Foyt to lobby the boost levels of it
So Porsche left, Interscope used a DFX, and the engine landed in the 956

Also my best bet is that that’s an ixo model
muted hamlet
Ye models from spark and ixo don’t put there brands on them
Bburago tend to put there brand on the cars

oh also idk how old/new ixo are but its likely from mid-late 90s-2010 as thats the kinda era the other cars i found in there were
seems pretty well detailed tho
muted hamlet
Yeah ixo are quite good with detail
Spark is ur best type tho I’d say
But expensive

Fun fact I just found out: The 88 Buick exhaust sounds just like one of the V8's that'd come about 6 years later
It's right at the tone at 9,600~ that a V8 without the single exit is at 14.4
