Christ that things huge. What are the bets that when the cars have high miles the cranks snap.

but what are the chances that any veyron is going to get to huge mileages? most are going o be tucked away forever, unlike the white one i saw a few weeks ago giving it some on a roundabout, and me in the works van shouting "oh fkcu yeah!". not advisable when its school out time, and lots of parents and kids about and i'm in a tesco van...

bear in mind i dont think that will be a production engine, purely a promo vid to show what their machines can do. theres a v8 vid on there as well from the same company, same awesomeness

I really shouldnt admit to getting a little bit excited at these videos!

I love proper engineering, and i know that hese arent REAL engineering techniques, in all honesty, but still, WOW!

Itd make a very good engine in all honesty, but for me, modern engineering is little bit too easy with all the computing etc

Yeah but watching an in jection molding machine making a steel head, then some 900 year old bloke mill it out with a twin axis miller wouldnt be any fun TBH lol
