Im an American. I love the Italian passion and pride. Every time Larry asked if he could open a car door to look closer, the guy said "YES...YES". I really like folks with this type of motorsport passion. I wish these guys all the best of luck with their endeavors and hope to visit them one day for a race motor.
but we don't know how to speak English well obviously I don't want to blame the boy interviewed but as an Italian I can guarantee you that there is a lot of passion
@@Slegoelektro for a guy who probably grew up in Florence, his English was actually quite good. WAY BETTER THAN MY ITALIAN.
I'm an American also. I thought that you would appreciate this. "Like a good suit." "It brings out the Italian in us.". ua-cam.com/video/dRxP8p3x0hY/v-deo.html
What a goldmine. Amazed they opened doors to all of this and their development.
As soon as he said his father developed the T16 engine, I was all in.
The Abarth group S engine with multiple divorced exhausts is totally mental. Very cool.
That Tri-flow center intake thing is totally insane.
Incredible.
Love it when money is put to the service of genius, and genius is put to the service of going fast, going far, and going fabulously.
That TTV6 is beautiful. Found it hilarious when he said it’s more simple to develop an entirely new platform from scratch than to build an Alpha engine 😂
The casting was still somewhat based around the Alfa V6 one I think. They asked to them to make a different one in some regards to accomodate for the things the added features wanted.
@@alessandrorona6205 he actually homolgated the more narrow angle V6 of the Lancia Thema. Which was the basis for the race engine.
There is an interview with him on Davide Cironi's channel, it's over an hour long all about Alfas DTM car. It's in Italian but the subtitles are good and it's absolutely fascinating.
'It's like a boat!'...
Love your authenticity Larry, this channel somehow gets better and better.
Hello to Carlo Cavagnero, and Riccardo S, and Luca Betti! Outstanding work from Italtecnica...
message from Taj Jacobs here building my Lancia Scorpions and Mitsubishis and twin charge engines.
Thanks Larry and Dino
THIS is why i am an engineer. Passion and development create beautiful mechanical outcomes.
Mind blowing history, engineering, tech and access to this business!!! Thanks Larry, Dino and team!! Your channel is so far above anything else available. The Italian guys are so down to earth yet super smart 👍👍👍
If my tuner is wearing a puffy jacket whilst beep booping the keys...i know my cars about to make some serious jam!! 💯
very nice to see such passionate people , not afraid to explain everything in an age where so many would be scared as people might steal the ideas. Great to see true mechanical passion is still alive.
THAT 4 CYLINDER SOUNDED FUCKING GLORIOUS WTF!!!
There is a difference people that build engines and people that design engines. Today you meet engineers not engine builders!
Very true. Not taking anything away from modifiers, tuners, builders but by comparison, these guys are NFL. And fun, too!
as a german engineer, that would do many things different, i really have deep respect for the passion of this guys. Great to see this. You cann clearly tell, that these guys are really competent!
I feel smarter after watching this 😅
Thanks... love this
No matter where you go in the world, there are people who love cars..👍🏻
Hey, I'm doing a presentation on twincharging for a college Auto class, and this video has been a massive help to understand the Kimera's block since the one image on the internet with a visible supercharger makes it appear to be clutched in some way. Thank you for your work here and on Hoonigan!
It does have a clutch, and a butterly valve for the hand off to the turbo
This was wonderful! And good questions regarding the Twin-Charged Unit.
One of the most interesting videos I’ve ever seen on UA-cam, please do more . More education.
When you upload it's a great day
I love engineering firm walk throughs.
Wow, this place is heaven for a Lancia fanboy like me 😍😍
I think I need to visit as a bucket list item.
Great video, I had no idea these guys even existed. Thanks!
The Lancia Abarth Triflux engine never raced in the world championship, but the engine is mounted in the Lancia S4 ECV 1, that can be seen in action in many videos on YT.
The ECV 1 was meant to be the successor of the S4 and has been developed for the incoming new Group S rally cars. This never started, because the Group B cars were banned and the Group S cars were designed to be even more powerful.
Lancia and Abarth developed also the S4 ECV 2, that has never been tested. It's basically the ECV 1 with a different body kit. It can be seen in the Lancia museum in Turin.
The ABARTH Triflux engine is mounted on the ECV2.
The one on ECV1 replica, the Volta’s S4, was assembled with spares parts of the originals 5 Triflux engines.
5 full engines, spares parts for 8~10 engine.
It was a standard developing numbers for italian “Studio Esperienza/e” teams at that time, also F40 A/B engines for the 8~10 F40 racecars before the LM/Competizione/GT/GTE cars.
@@Xanderoby The story is this (told by Beppe Volta in an interview): After the S4, Lancia-Abarth made one or two ECV1 prototypes (with the red Martini livery), five Triflux engines and the spare parts needed for the engines. Lancia presented the prototypes at the 1986 Motorshow of Bologna. Later decided to dismantle them and to use the parts to build the ECV2. When the Group B was banned and the ECV2 project was closed, Volta bought from Abarth most of the parts left from these projects (body kit parts and engine spare parts). He then rebuilt the ECV1 using those parts and the chassis of a Delta S4. The car was finished in 2009.
One of the Triflux engines built by Lancia was given to Luciano Tamburini, who used it in his hill climb and autocross prototype. On YT there is a video of a drag race between the S4 and the Tamburini's proto.
Only the people who worked in Abarth at the time know the details of what happened back then with those cars and engines.
Anyway, I read also that the ECV2 mounts an evolution of the original Triflux, modified in several parts. Lancia and Abarth were on fire back then. The best. 😍
@@gianlucap1935 Volta found Triflux and ECV1 spare parts decades later after the death of Gr. S a more powerful Gr. B championship only for track. The ECV1 replica by Volta isn’t totally a replica, ECV project (Experimental Composite Vehicle) was made by a carbon/kevlar chassis, the sides of the chassis are one piece for side, from front suspension mount to rear ones.
It isn’t replicable by Volta and not from Abarth, and that is the reason why ECV1 never existed anymore to assemble the ECV2.
Volta’s ECV1 is an S4 (tubular chassis) with carbon panels between tubular ”holes”.
ECV2 stayed for decades abandoned in a Lancia building and need restoration but Stellantis doesn’t care about FCA Hub and cars.
ABARTH make EVERY Lancia competitions cars from 1971, they are simply gorgeus, but it’s another story. 😉👍
I love the “Italian patina” on the tow van ❤😂
I love Itlaian engine nerds
Pure genius! 🤌🔥
What an amazing team, so passionate about their job, I wish I worked there
Larry still sits in his dads camry on the driveway reving the engine shouting "soooo cool"
Wowwwww! This is insane !!!! 😍😍😍
wish we could post memes as reactions here... mine would be the jackie chen one where he is in confusion and disbelief looking and listening to their 1 cyl testing all out while connected to 3 others going at factory settings.. lol
italians knows how to make a car(and bikes) fast and beautiful.They can also make the youtube subtitles generator do a better job with english that when native english talks!😄😄😄😄😄😄
If they only made them reliable and anything like affordable 😂
@@chickenfishhybrid44 yes,and yes.
wow amazing!
Very very cool! Loving the twin charger setup... Similar to the HKS twin charger setup which id love tobrecreate for my 4agze 🤤
Yepp, Group B was crazy back then. More power, more faster. If the FIA hadn't pulled the plug simply more people would have died.... 👀
But it's amazing that it took the automotive industry like 30 years to solve the turbo lag with modern materials, shapes and electronics. Racing stuff always is decades ahead of stuff that we get in passenger cars. ✌️
In Italy performance is optimized for a car to go around a track.
4:30 okay. I very rarely have my mind blown, but my mind is fucking BLOWN. Jesus Christ.
Illuminating
so so cool.
crazy !
😮 woahh ❤❤❤
It's funny look at stuff like the Kimera and the Lister Bell Stratos' compared to the originals. People will turned their noses up at "kit cars" and replicas, but the original Lancias were parts bin POSs! I think that's slowly changing judging by nicely finished Listers selling for about half of an original.
Lancia Disintegrale
@@WHDRWN😂
Bring a towel...fan boy drooling...lol
Very good tech ...and aluminum masters...cast , forged and billet..
Test beds are very well documented-- instrument analysis sophisticated IC.FOR BEHAVIOR
Awesome.......... Greetings from india🇮🇳🤠🤠🤩🤩🤘🏻🙌
Amazing stuff going on here... but I'd love to live in the world where €100k for an engine is not that bad... xD
Also I love that such an amazing car could be hiding in such a battered van!
Fantastic
Triflux FTW
Lancia ECV Gr. S FTW
The Triflux engine is the sickest inline4 ever
I'd move from home and work for minimum wage to sweep floors there. Ok, I'll sweep for free.
v cool
Geek overload video.
Just like SegaGT!
🤩
All sensors on 1 cyc...what happens if the other 3 cyc behaves not as expected then?
Such an awesome review of an amazing company l, who still wants to drive an electric car 🤣
18:30 I'm pretty sure enzo has timing gears also and not a chain
I thought the engine with the air intake in the top middle , this was designed so that 1 turbo could be turned off and run twins later , kinda like the v6 ,
cool :3
Wow
Nah but this lot are very good, aren't they?
Cosworth is cool but these guys have more passion
Reasonable pricing lol, Steve Morris charged about 500k for the devel 16
30.17......he said enga jed.....engaged. LOL
The discipline is 30 years behind cosworth and Yamaha they have been using the one cylinder to build other companies dreams it's like basic principles at this point but I'm glad it's becoming common achievements in regular applications
They're a custom shop tho, not a real F1 engineering shop.
Cosworth and Yamaha make more in one week than this guys in a year. It's like comparing your parent's grocery shop with Walmart.
Move over Cosworth..?
39:26 the Toro Rosso F1 team had a similar car hauler... Except it was a Multipla in the front. You can find some pictures online
the triflux engine blew my mind, but whats the point if you still have 8 exhaust valves? you just split the exhaust pressure in half for each turbo? and exhaust is headed in 2 different directions? idk lol seems like no gain? nvm i kept watching lol
Optimal surface area
You should know Autotecnica Motori
Beryllium valve seats
I need to give these guys an LSX and a blank cheque
I would love to see a twin charged LSX or quad turbo LSX built by these guys
I bet they would make it turn at 9000rpm also
Absolutely fantasitc
this is the reason why some car are better than others when it comes to engines..look at Mc Laren who uses the same freaking block & motor for every single new car they put out..just playing with ECU to add or retrieve power..!!..cheaper but ZERO soul..!!
ALSO, Ricardo engineering that did the engine for McLaren used an old 80's Indycar engine design ricardo had in the dusty designs cabinet, they de tuned it and engineered it to make it cheap enough for mass production and maximum profit, hence why the rods bend on the mp4 12c's. Its pathetic that the P1 uses the same power plant, and that they dont even use direct injection... Typical Ron Dennis move. Gordon Murray chose a different path and made his engine a masterpiece of his t50 McLaren F1 successor. For me, if a hypercar doesnt have an engine with technological breakthroughs that increase the joy of the ownership experience or mechanical complexities that make me appreciate the feat of human endavour and craftsmanship it's a hard pass
agreed..!!@@Abigailrp
Yes, McLarens sole engine to this day is based on the Nissan VRH35L, a twin-turbo 3.5L unit that was used for Le-mans and IndyCar for which they bought the rights to use. They didn’t start from scratch on a clean sheet design.
Brilliant guys but an LS7 can make the same power for 20k with the same space and weight. Aspirated.
🤌🏽🤌🏽
100k for development damn i see why start ups just put an LS in everything
Did he say Bogan?
Italian do better.
Except pizza and tomatoes
@@ericd7532 shots fired
as soon as you hear, someone saying a gentleman driver, that means this guy is European because there’s no such thing as a gentleman Driver they’re all road rage that’s it there’s no such thing as a gentleman Driver only in Italy
I loved seeing all of this but I am infinitely frustrated with you! Do you NOT listen to what the man is saying? He answers your questions clearly and then you proceed to repeat back the WRONG answer! WTF!? OPEN YOUR EARS!
sorry if i’m ripetitive but… italians do it better 🤌🏻🇮🇹
