The v16 he designed was actually two ls motors fused together imagine a v16 pushrod engine that is two ls motors basically fused together I bet it was legit too but I don’t think it ever made 5000 horsepower at least not reliably
@off-roadmechanic I mean, Steve does have a Dyno video of the motor here on youtube, that 337 actually clipped in the video if you watch all the way through
I'm curious if he ever fully got paid for all that R&D of that motor. Considering everything else about this car was BS, id bet he didn't. Although that engine dyno video got a lot of views back in the day. Maybe that helped him become as big as he is today

add on top of the cooling the engine is making 5,000hp. there's a saying i heard once in racing "cooling is how much power you want to make and for how long."
Weight actually doesn’t matter much for top speed if you have a ton of power. The fastest land vehicle weighs 100 tons but it makes 100,000 horsepower and still reached a speed of just under 800 miles per hour.
@@chabweezy9905 yeah, that being said, you strap 2 jet engines to anything, it will be fast. The McLaren F1 was so fast, because it was light and aerodynamic. Not because it had a lot of power (pro tuners back then were pushing 900+hp on 2JZ engines). Another example would be the Ruf CTR. It only had around 470hp, but could reach 210mph. The Veyron needed so much power, compared to the F1, because it weighed like 1350lbs more.
That car in GTA Online, it;s one of the fastest cars in the game, but almost 18 years only tell us, the most probably is that the project is on development hell.

@@v4skunk739 where exactly was it legit? a driveable shell doesnt mean its legit dude. Anyone can make a body for a car and make that run. Not a single claim met.
@ there’s a good reason for that assuming the firing order is setup up as even firing(which it should be on that layout). A V8 at 8000 rpm should essentially sound the same as a V16 at 4000 rpm. That’s the same reason why an Inline 5 engine sounds the same as a 72 degree even firing V10 at half the revs
@MisterScalper have they done a top speed run on it cause last I heard it did like 226mph but no one has ever put longer gears on it to see if it can break the 240 record
the smx isnt just a v8 it is a 9.7L billet big block made to make the power while being able to do drag and drives. But as we have seen size isn't everything because all the smx cars have been getting beat and out lasted by a factory block coyote in a s197 mustang called snot rocket and it ru n s 6.3 in the 1/4 a number even mullet and some promods haven't hit with the smx. Now most ppl are pulling their LS swaps and jumping ship from chevy and dodge to go fast when they see that stock sealed coyote mustangs and f150s run 7s (mustang gt) 8s f150 in tge 1/4 mile needing boost and fuel. and factory computer and built factory trans. with no aftermarket billit blocks being made ppl are pushing factory blocks into the 6s and 5s with light card. if steaveorris started building a SM billet coyote now game over for most engine swaps. when snot rocket was owned by its previous owner joel steele it started life as a s197 boss mustang he street raved and drove to work and eventually it became the first domestic h pattern stick car in the 6s in the 1/4 a few years back. he was competitive against billet block 2jz drag supras that jad to swap motors after runs and he was running 6.7 before he sold tge shell to Brett lasala and now it does what it does
There *are* LS V16s in existence, but they're aimed at boat racing, and would never, *ever* be practical in a land setting, boats are generally on a whole other level.
@@carculturenation2166 well all that just proves how good the Coyote engine is and not that the SMX isn't competitive. You're comment that it doesn't last probably stems from Mullet's engine, a used engine that saw many miles. It was a 6 year old engine. I don't follow all the racing stuff, but I'm sure by percentage, there's more broken Coyotes than SMX engines. You see a couple of SMX engines failing and you think it won't last. They're making so much power and being pushed to it's limits, of course stuff is going to break.
@@SillyW0rld hmm... what if koenigsegg made a model with a very VERY powerful V8 engine to beat the hell of the devel sixteen (Note: If my comment/question is shit, just judge me, because I'm quite only shitter who make some kind of bullshits)
The logistics of a 5000 hp street car would be pretty amusing if they did build one. Imagine finding a straight & empty enough road & doing your 300 mph pull, then you immediately run out of gas & are due for a $100k tire change, if you can get it stopped in one piece
One of the coolest looking Fiero V6 rare kit cars was the Scorpion. I almost bought a nearly completed one about 10 years ago. Man, did that thing look good! And if you turbo'd the stock v6, it would move out pretty good too.
You should do a video on that car from the fast and furious movie up in that tall building, the one nobody has seen actually driving before. I've read it's basically the same story as this. Great video man, so glad I found your channel!
Hats off to you, sir. I really enjoy watching your videos. They're informative, entertaining, well edited and your commentary ties everything together. It shows you have a passion and a knack for video essay/documentaries. Amazing content. So we'll put together. Thank you.
It's always a great refleif to see a video from this guy, seem to always learn something new. I always rembering being obsessed with this car as a kid and I'm glad it's still being tought about
I tried telling people 5k hp is not streetable in any way years ago when it showed up. Between heat, it's thirsty engine, the fact it would only be able to carry enough fuel to drive conservatively maybe 90 miles. This wasn't hard to figure out. 😂
Never even heard of that. They definitely should make it for real, because then it wouldn't just be a competition between Koenigsegg and Bugatti, there'd be a third member of the hyper car party. The body looks like a cross between a Batmobile and a LeMans racer. It just looks absurdly fast. 2:39 that's a proper funny way of describing the obsession with top speed 😅😆 Thing is though, most high performance cars lose a shit load of power from exhaust heat. The Veyron for example, had something like 4000HP, but loses 3000 because of the exhaust, ridiculous... Wonderful video again fella. Surprised Devel didn't name the car Billet - A throwback to the iconic film, and due to those engine parts being manufactured mostly from those processes.
Bro I must say, you have in my opinion the BEST AND EASIEST NARRATING VOICE to listen to period. I love when a new 337 video drops...By far the best mini automotive Docs out there. Keep up the good work 🤘🏻🫶🏻
To be fair to the Vector, the early test cars weren’t ready & were released early with stipulations to deal with that. McEnroe, the famous tennis player, took one of them to show off to his friends & Vector warned him about not pushing it too hard before they could complete final assembly. What’d he do? Completely destroyed it, doing everything they told him not to, & prompting him to pull out of the deal very publicly, which severely impacted Vector’s reputation. It might have had its share of problems anyways, but due to them wanting to get them in the public eye early, they caused their own downfall. Still a badass car that managed to do ~220 which was crazy for the time.
you see i prefer to say it took the bugatti over 20 years to beat the mclaren f1. shows the legendarity better than the 7 years it took them to build the veyron. the f1 is an absolute monster. nothing like it. no idea how it did all that with such low hp(for 240mph), with 3 FUCKING SEATS. and 90s tech.
And F1 also dubbed the "most reliable" supercar Bcs someone drove it 190+ on the autobahn (i believe it's a doctor) fron his house to the workplace, every day and didn't even break down, just a slight trouble that flashes the check engine light😅
If I remember correctly the v16 that they built was two ls motors that were fused together the engine itself would have been promising but at the end of the day the car and engine were both vaporware
May God bless and keep you alive!! The information you create is just excellent. The way you speak and explain is so unique. I truly appreciate the time and work you take to make these videos compared to other youtubers out here. Continue making videos like this. ❤❤💯💯💫
The biggest factor to overcoming a sustainable, safe, and easily repeatable 300mph top speed is the tires. The last time I checked (which was about a mon. ago) no one has been able to produce a tire that is practical, decent composition(as opposed to some crazy high-priced material dev'd by NASA) and reasonably priced that can safely withstand the centrifugal g-forces exerted on a tire at rotating at 300+mph. Which I believe they said was about 4500rpm at 290-300mph. That may be a little off but I'll have to go look it up again.
That is why methanol is the most common fuel for engines like what Steve Morris builds. Some people run alcohol, e85, and some race gas, but methanol cools the best and allows smaller radiators for street driving on pump gas where they only make a few psi of boost. A hypercar is certainly not the same as a purpose built drag and drive car. A 5000 hp drag and drive car is purely about function to go fast and then drive to the next track and while they can look nice, they are not wrapped up to look like the devil sixteen with no hardware showing.....more like a semitruck where you can see what actually gets the work done at that level. It isn't easy to hide all that stuff.
Great video dude....👍 captured everyones curiosity and head scratching over the years, as to how overly ambitious this Devel 16 car was. Any youtube endorsement is also bollox imo and illegitimate to petrolheads. Its funny though, that now we do have a production V16 and Bugatti have made it. 🤘🤣👍☠💨

The v16 he designed was actually two ls motors fused together imagine a v16 pushrod engine that is two ls motors basically fused together I bet it was legit too but I don’t think it ever made 5000 horsepower at least not reliably

Never even heard of that. They definitely should make it for real, because then it wouldn't just be a competition between Koenigsegg and Bugatti, there'd be a third member of the hyper car party. The body looks like a cross between a Batmobile and a LeMans racer. It just looks absurdly fast.
2:39 that's a proper funny way of describing the obsession with top speed 😅😆
Thing is though, most high performance cars lose a shit load of power from exhaust heat. The Veyron for example, had something like 4000HP, but loses 3000 because of the exhaust, ridiculous...
Wonderful video again fella. Surprised Devel didn't name the car Billet - A throwback to the iconic film, and due to those engine parts being manufactured mostly from those processes.
Bro I must say, you have in my opinion the BEST AND EASIEST NARRATING VOICE to listen to period. I love when a new 337 video drops...By far the best mini automotive Docs out there. Keep up the good work 🤘🏻🫶🏻
I didn't understand a word due to the weird accent.
@@azynkronI don’t believe you
Exceptional information as always. Keep up the great work.
video on time for the Bugatti Tourbillon
Man, I love all your videos. Such good quality!
What is the point of driving a car at that speed?
If you have a death wish, then I guess it’s a good purchase.
To be fair to the Vector, the early test cars weren’t ready & were released early with stipulations to deal with that. McEnroe, the famous tennis player, took one of them to show off to his friends & Vector warned him about not pushing it too hard before they could complete final assembly. What’d he do? Completely destroyed it, doing everything they told him not to, & prompting him to pull out of the deal very publicly, which severely impacted Vector’s reputation. It might have had its share of problems anyways, but due to them wanting to get them in the public eye early, they caused their own downfall. Still a badass car that managed to do ~220 which was crazy for the time.
you see i prefer to say it took the bugatti over 20 years to beat the mclaren f1. shows the legendarity better than the 7 years it took them to build the veyron. the f1 is an absolute monster. nothing like it. no idea how it did all that with such low hp(for 240mph), with 3 FUCKING SEATS. and 90s tech.
And F1 also dubbed the "most reliable" supercar
Bcs someone drove it 190+ on the autobahn (i believe it's a doctor) fron his house to the workplace, every day and didn't even break down, just a slight trouble that flashes the check engine light😅
@@yoslauda4714 which is even more insane considering the powerplant is a BMW engine hahahaha
@@yoslauda4714 He basically had a bullet train that he owned
Wonderful turning and overtaking
dam never been 46 seconds early
Awesome video!
I’ll honest the top speed and acceleration war is over. Has been for years. I’d say the last 4 years.
God damn dude, I just love your videos so much. Thanks for posting.
😊Facts, Facts backed up with experience that no one can take away from you 337. Represent ✌🏾
Supercar Blondie is not an independent tester she's a paid spokesperson
And it was basically 2 LS’s put together by the GOAT STEVE MORRIS💀 my 13 year old self had no idea.
I just love those hypercar explanations...you are a king...amd love those Bugatti's what a masterpiece
If I remember correctly the v16 that they built was two ls motors that were fused together the engine itself would have been promising but at the end of the day the car and engine were both vaporware
May God bless and keep you alive!! The information you create is just excellent. The way you speak and explain is so unique. I truly appreciate the time and work you take to make these videos compared to other youtubers out here. Continue making videos like this. ❤❤💯💯💫
It's all made up pipe dreams. No car that has that poor quality and engineering is gonna beat the likes of Bugatti and McLaren.
The biggest factor to overcoming a sustainable, safe, and easily repeatable 300mph top speed is the tires. The last time I checked (which was about a mon. ago) no one has been able to produce a tire that is practical, decent composition(as opposed to some crazy high-priced material dev'd by NASA) and reasonably priced that can safely withstand the centrifugal g-forces exerted on a tire at rotating at 300+mph. Which I believe they said was about 4500rpm at 290-300mph. That may be a little off but I'll have to go look it up again.
Thank SM for allowing this to have any traction of lore.
This "hypercar" is the automotive equivalent of the notorious Fyre Festival.
Enjoyed that, nice video.
Love your channel. Your content is fire. Keep doing what you’re doing. 🔥👍🏽
Your videos are the greatest at explaining
An engine that produces that much power also produces a lot of heat. Keeping it cool would be a massive engineering challenge all by itself.
That is why methanol is the most common fuel for engines like what Steve Morris builds. Some people run alcohol, e85, and some race gas, but methanol cools the best and allows smaller radiators for street driving on pump gas where they only make a few psi of boost. A hypercar is certainly not the same as a purpose built drag and drive car. A 5000 hp drag and drive car is purely about function to go fast and then drive to the next track and while they can look nice, they are not wrapped up to look like the devil sixteen with no hardware showing.....more like a semitruck where you can see what actually gets the work done at that level. It isn't easy to hide all that stuff.
Man, props for making this understandable for the less knowledgeable car guys. I've learned a lot from your videos. 👏
The torque on that engine is unbelievable
I’ve had a madmore stressful day, souped I found this to calm my lard ass down thank you my dude always killin it with info
I really enjoy your videos dude.
The car looks like if Ferrari Pagani and Lamborghini all had a baby
Man, keep making these informative videos.
Steve Morris in a 337 video he'll ya best drag and drive motor builder imo
What happened to the V16 engine Steve Morris built?
Great video! Love the cool animations. 🎉
Great video dude....👍 captured everyones curiosity and head scratching over the years, as to how overly ambitious this Devel 16 car was. Any youtube endorsement is also bollox imo and illegitimate to petrolheads. Its funny though, that now we do have a production V16 and Bugatti have made it. 🤘🤣👍☠💨
Thanks for other awesome video 🍻
LOVE your videos!
great video once again 👏🏾
Extremely great video mighty fine job👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🫡💪🏾
