More interesting in Every Way Than any New Racing Car Used in 2024.No ECU,No Hybrid,No Silencer,What a Joy.And a Gear Shift,Any 2024 F1 Driver Would Not Know How to Drive This Beast !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This car requires a different set of spark plugs to be installed when starting from cold than required to run at speed. Yes...changing 16 plugs on a hot engine prior to moving! I saw this car at Lime Rock several years ago - very impressive! And LOUD!
I read in well known motoring magazine a very long time ago a article about a 1938 auto union bought to England as it had no engine but on its arrival the task was rather daunting but one of the crew said in 1938 when was here where was garage and then discovered the property they arrived at the house a women answered the door which they explained if a bits and pieces might left. The explained well there is something in the cellar and there was under a very old cover a complete full engine assembly everything they wanted and the exact engine for the car. I would like to know who’s got it now ???
It's passes through a broad frequency range so it's less likely to have bolts come loose while doing warm up. It also checks your carb settings for response
The point is, that you get an award for coolest sound of the day. You get a trophy, a certificate and a bunch of cool stuff in a nice gift bag....oh, and adulation from the crowd.
From what I can understand, they had to get the oil up to a certain temperature that would allow it to run "thinner" and better lubricate all the running parts. And at the same time, they had to make sure the plugs won't oil up or the combustion chamber to be flooded with fuel. It's bad either way, even more so with the latter. These cars use a lot of methanol fuel, and leaving it idling for an extended amount of time might leave a lot of extra methanol flowing into the combustion chambers. If the combustion chamber gets flooded with methanol fuel, it'll flow down to the piston rings, wash the oil out of it, depriving it of lubrication and causing a piston to fail. Hence the tiny throttle blips. In short, it's a balance of trying to warm the oil up for the work the engine would do later on, while also trying to make sure that the combustion chambers won't get flooded with fuel.

-and no spoiled brat crashing into everyone that is better than him.
Sir Jackie Stewart could pilot this. So could Mario Andretti.

Meh. My Dodge pickup truck has 16 sparkplugs.
@hugejohnson5011 and does need them changed between starting and moving?
@@kwarts Yes...1st set - Starting and warmup...2nd set - Running on track or hill climb.
The car was so far ahead of its time.
Mercedes W126
Thank god for the people who can and do build these things!
I love this engine! I so wish I could have one!
Truly the Golden Era of motorsport
Ive seen these run up shelsley walsh , the sound just curdles you blood , mustve frightened the crap out of the competition when new
What a great sound. Simply love it.

track down the history! a full rich tale I'm sure.
Der Furher’s race car
Yes, also Mercedes benefited of the money of the Nazi regime
nowadays, Mercedes prefers to receive support from England
Supercar noises in the background, then a bloke from a meseum starts up a supercharged V16,.....

Sounds like a Rolls Royce Merlin engine.
Sounds like an airline ❤
Crisp blower response. Imagine it on nitro!
Imagine that in 2days car!.
the first Formula car with rear engine
(this solution was "redescovered" by Cooper in F1 only 20 years later)
16 cylinders are, however, excessive
SINFONIA ❤
What gasoline they use here,pump gas or special mixtures?
What the heck does this thing pull like flat footing it through the cogs? A barely controlled explosion is my guess.
That's for you, Greta.
😂
What's the point of the revving 0, then up, then 0, then up, over and over? What is that achieving?

A symphony 😂

Keeps the plugs clear and reduces fouling if you have cold plugs fitted.
What's the firing order ? 😵
250 litros en los 100km😂😂😂
Hubba, hubba.
N/A is the best sound in the world by far!
engine is supercharged
