First thing that came to mind when I saw the tilte: are there enough 16 cylinders engines to do a "10 Best whatever" list? XD
There is more of them, unfortunately lots of those are not shot on a video.
@@VisioRacer among them were the miller-burden v16 4 wheel drive cars they were supercharged as well making 500 horsepower from 303 cubic inches. Only one of those original 303 CI v16s is known to survive and its in an indy car making 300 hp naturally aspirated and was originally supposed to go into a 1929 Cord. Unfortunately theres not many videos of that surviving v16 and any that are we dont get to hear the engine at full revving rpm.
That BRM V16 has got to be the best sounding 16 cylinder ever created. Amazing how an engine that small can sound so wicked.
1.6L !!! same as modern F1 !!!
It does, and the figures of this engine are still pretty hefty by todays standard, but realise this was created in the 1950's!
And it has that wonderful sweet loping whine of a true 16-cylinder engine! Beautiful and here, the best sound of the whole video.
I loved the sound of the BRM H16 too. I have heard other recordings of it racing...damn!!! When it is approaching you, it has kind of an eight cylinder sound...but when it accelerates away from you, the exhaust sounds like a police siren!! The H16 is a true 16 cylinder engine, firing as a 16 cylinder engine, one cylinder at a time. I think 16 cylinder engines have the best sound...this side of the now extinct F1 gas-poppet valved 20,000 rpm V10's.
That was my thought, too..! I mean 600 HP out of a 1,5 L engine ...and this was done back then. Absolutely incredible.
That and the Auto Union!
but 780hp for a tiny (1.6L) V16 in the 50's !!! THIS is british engineering at it's best !
They were running a ridiculous amount of boost from their blower. I heard somewhere around 70+psi.
@stephen john gray With a modern engine of course it will be better, more efficient, reliable, built onto a modern far better handling chassis and setup. Comparing them, is like comparing a tooth brush with a lemon?!? I bet a modern 1.6l race engine wont sound as good as that BRM though hahaha! Especially when its revving to 12k rpm!
And its ROAR is so savage!
BMW build a 1.4l I4 Turbo with 1400 hp in 1987 now that's mental
@stephen john gray Lol, you missed the point ENTIRELY!!!! Kids!
That feeling when you have to take a day off to replace spark plugs...
That feeling when you don't even have 16 cylinders, but it's an even bigger pain to replace them.
Eric Fixalot But honestly, I wonder how much time would it take for one person to replace all the spark plugs in a 16 or even 12 cylinder engine.
arekb5 Well it takes me less then an hour on a V8 with a fairly open engine bay, so I would think about twice as long under the same circumstances.
Eric Fixalot Fair enough. It takes me a bit less that 30mins to replace them in my inline 4, so our results are pretty consistent :)
arekb5 Yup, takes me about the same on my inline 4. I have not tried on my V6 though, but I expect more difficulty, due to confined space.
Wheel spin at 100mph...in the 1930’s??? I love it!!!! Thanks for the good stuff!!
The tires probably also really sucked to be fair, but I'm sure the engine was beast.
That BRM V16 sound is pure eargasm.
any time i listen to the brm v16 it sends chills down my spine. it sounds so amazing
Auto Union cars from the 1930s were space age for their time.
The 1.5l V16 with 780hp from the 1950s sounded great too.
Leider sind alle 30jahre silberpfeile im Krieg zerstört und heute repliken
The Auto Union cars were marvels of technology for their time. Ground effect body panels 40 years before Lotus and power outputs that would not be matched for another 50 years until the turbo V6 era of Formula 1.
Truly great driving machines from the Golden Era of Motoring.
The engine is great and sounds wonderful but I was scared just watching that car. Swing axles and all that power... how could anyone control it?
Driven by the true greats of motor racing
@sem Aka I mean it's the only really functional one so there's that.
The F1 Turbo Engines in the 80s were quite strong. Up to 1200 bhp in qualy mode with 72psi.
Designed by a certain Ferdinand Porsche btw
Dat V16 diesel tho 😍
That thing sounds amazing!
almost turbine like!
That Detroit fitted in the hotrod sounds almost like a Deltic engine, but that's not so surprising, because both are two stroke diesels, the Deltic has 18 cylinders and is an opposed piston engine.
Since the Detroit is a 2-stroke, so it fires all 16 cylinders in one revolution of the crank. So in effect, you're hearing a 32-cylinder engine if it was a 4-stroke.
Andy Harman I knew that. Nice that you pointed it out. 🙂
The Cadillac V16 is the most iconic V16 engine put into production road cars, so is the best engine for me. It sounded wonderful too. And all Caddy 16 cars were stunning, most notably the 1931 Caddy V16 Boat tail Speedster
During the second world war, the US ambassador to New Zealand owned a Cadillac V16. What impressed me was not the noise but the silence.Comparable with a Rolls Royce of the era. It ran much more smoothly than the example which you showed.
8:41 100% Homer Simpson
Love the sound of the BRM V16.
Made in my home town ca t be more proud
The BRM is my favorite. Probably one of the best sounding engines of all time. LOVE this channel.
I feel exactly the same. I first heard this engine on a soundtrack CD that came with the book "In to the red" by Nick Mason. I was absolutely blown away by its sound.
did you, like me, push the volume up just before the flyby.. then forward and repeat the flyby :3 ?
Great book - and that 7-odd minutes of the BRM, alone, was worth twice the price of the whole book !
It's just a shame that the op put in a video clip of someone supposedly driving down a lane in the BRM, the audio is actually from into the red and is the sound of a BRM V16 running around Donnington Park.
I did wonder who would have the cojones to drive the V16 BRM with any elan on a wet lane with snow on the borders, but that doesn't detract from the great music of the soundtrack.
Holy Shit, 4500hp devel sixteen, "due to dyno limitations" Jesus fuck.
It's meant to put out 5000 but the dyno stopped at 4515.
Nazurick The Dragon yeah, im astounded by the power. You know you've got power when the dyno can't keep up.
Kristov Scicluna yea too bad it'll never truly be a street legal car
Zainzy yeah, either way I'd doubt we'd be able to afford it anyway
also the car is a load of crap to try and get money from investors. Think about the cooling you would need for that much power and the cars body doesn't have any cooling ducts.
V16 engine with wild torque on a wet road ! that is the essence of a real petrol head ! just the tracking control under the right foot and between the two hands !! and so the sound of the best music of the moment... I'm totally in love with the few seconds of this video !!
It was incorrect to say that the BRM H-16 never won a Grand Prix. That was true for the BRM team, but it did win the 1966 United States Grand Prix in the back of Jim Clark's Lotus 43!
BRM was always dangerous/formidable...and Jimmy Clark oh my! a young talent cut short in his prime, & thanks for your correction.let's get history straight, aye?
The BRM H16 was a flop of an engine for the reasons you stated, but it did win one Formula One race - the 1966 United States Grand Prix at Watkins Glen, in the back of the stop-gap Lotus 43 driven by Scottish maestro Jim Clark. Clark lapped the entire field, probably more attributable to his excellence as a driver more than the car itself. It was also the first race to offer money to the top 20 finishers and was the richest race at the time for a driver to win ($20000). BRM-powered cars also won the US.G.P 4 times in a row at that point (3 wins to Graham Hill, one to Clark).
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1966_United_States_Grand_Prix
Timothy Hargreaves - Thank you, I was going to make that correction but you beat me to it!
The old Cadillac V16 was definitly my fav! 😀
If you are interesting to see (unfortunately not hear) other V16 application worthy of mentioning, google BMW 767iL Goldfish, Rolls-Royce Phantom V16, Porsche 917 H16 or Alfa Romeo Tipo 316.
VisioRacer really like that you go into detail on the engines, and provide facts nerds like me did not know yet (like the Cizeta using Lamborghini blocks). Many similar channels just row up videos without research behind it.
Thanks you, very kind of you. That's what I try to do - not only show interesting creature the world already has, but also tell a little more about them.
Great video, but just a small note, the BRM H16 engine did win a race, but in a Lotus chassis driven by Jim Clark, it was the US GP in 1966 :)
I believe Porsche tested an H-16 Can Am engine but never raced it; opting instead for a turbo-charged flat 12.
Yes, that's exactly what happened.
3:10 im in love with this beast !
Looks like something from Mad Max
Me too!
it's like this glorious combo between v8 and v12
Between a v8 and v12 is a v10
4:00
Oh HeY iT's ThE dEvEsTe EiGhT
So cool to see and hear these unusual motors! Thanks Visio!
Amazing video, you can't beat the sound of multi cylinder engines.
The H16 did in fact manage a win: Jim Clark, Lotus 43, 1966 US Grand Prix at Watkins Glen.
Yeah I was thinking that too when I was watching...
I recognized that too; fellow Jim Clark fan.
the BRM H16 has that gnarly sound we all love & i'm fond of the history of British Racing Motors, Jim Clark,Graham Hill,Jackie Stewart but the car I love most is the '37 Auto Union..the beautiful brute, loud, elegant & now that gas is $1.50 a gallon please somebody start making these, pa-leeze?!
No matter who made it, I will always love the V16 engine. It's just... Magical...
Unless I blinked and missed it, you did not include the 1929 Bugatti type 45, which used two straight eight 2 litre engines mated together. I saw one competing in the 1993 Klausen Hill climb in Switzerland. It looked, drove and sounded fantastic. Very very rare car and run by an English chap.
love your video stuff man never let us down
great video as always mate. keep the good work up.
Thank you for linking and crediting my video and not just stealing it! Cheers!
Thanks VR - my fav was the Caddy.
The BRM V16 is the champ for me; its numbers are just incredible: 600 bhp from 1500cc over 60 years ago. Your video doesn't do the other-worldly sound justice - and I heard what you did there: you spliced the in-car portion of the soundtrack of Nick Mason's car to a POV clip of a drive on a rainy road. Clever work, getting the road's bends to match the engine sound!
Yes, it looks very authentic, the sound is the most important, though, especially when you don't see anything of the car.
The BRM H16 engine did win a Grand Prix. Jim Clark used the engine in his Lotus43 to win at Watkins Glen in 1966.
Those Detroits sound like a gasser v8 and a diesel v8 hade a baby. The gas "thump" sound and the diesel "crack" sounds so good together
fantastic videos dude
Best sounding prop planes!
magnific sound !
Great sounds !!!
2:45 JESUS Y LOVE IIIIIIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THATS MY FAVORITE🔥🔥🔥
Man!! Cadillac V16 stolen my heart!!
The brm. Instant win.
Nothing sweeter than that 2stroke DD engine, especially in that custom red hotrod, 😊and I've only found out about it a couple of years ago by playing modded ATS 😂🙂
VisioRacer you make radical compilations.
My goal is to make interesting videos!
VisioRacer well buddy you reached your goal because I love the Bugatti W16. I only love the engine. Hahaha XD. I might have a vid for a new crazy engine swap compilation if youre making one.
What kind of swap exactly?
VisioRacer Im glad you asked. 1991 S10 with Ford 460 Windsor. if not then an OM606 diesel. it will be a while before I post it. I have got to talk my dad into it.
Good luck
Solid list again bro.
Heh
hay. 16 years. good job
That BRM V16 sounded absolutely INSANE
excellent sound...
I've always wondered why Bugatti W16s were so quiet (compared to a lambo or Ferrari)
VAG group design the bugattis to be more luxury and comfortable hypercars
Zemzem Dağdelen boooooring
@@HaraldSjellose a freakin' Coupe
Bugatti has turbos in the exhaust path quieting them down. Lambo and Ferrari are usually naturally aspirated.
Yeah, turbos quiet it down quiet a bit. Some turbocharged cars don't even have mufflers from the factory.
Old school Engines really sounded great like it gives you the feeling of "That Motherfucker is the bad guy here"
Love the sound those V-16's make they have that same V8 whine to them
3:10 sounds like that one imperial Star Wars alarm
Alot of cool stuff here, but that rusty old caddy 16 was wicked
👍Nazi racing engines scaled -up to aircraft size. good show
A coupla things (though mostly not relevant to this vid but may be of interest to some):
IIRC Detroit Diesel made more 16V92s than 16V71s. Often the 92 Series were turbocharged having 2x blowers and turbochargers feeding into the blowers. They had after[inter]coolers under the blowers cooled by cooling system water. They are commonly used on portable drill rigs and can be identified by having 4 cylinder heads.
EMD have countless thousands of 2 stroke V16s running at this moment all over the world. They are hardly automotive but are extensively used in 3 main areas; rail, backup gensets and tugboats. They are in their 3rd series the 1st was the 567, then the 645 and finally the 710. Those numbers are cubic inches per cylinder. The power range for the 16 cylinder variants is between about 1500-4500hp at about 950rpm.
driving that BRM in anger on wet roads with those narrow tires. Brave Lad!!! Do it just to hear that engine sing!!
That old Caddy sounded beautiful
Gads, love the growl of V-12's and V-16's.
@5:12 It is a true scottsman instead. :D
The Bugatti W16 was actually designed by Volkswagen.
Jaden Sanderson yeah Volkswagen own Bugatti basically
Auto Union At Shelsley. WHAT A Weekend THAT WAS!
tHe H 16 ciLyNdEr EnGiNe HaS 420 hOrSePoWeR
JK, great vid :D
Nice
Marmon continued on as a commercial truck class 8 manufacturer until 1997 in Denton, Texas. They were the Rolls Royce of semi trucks.
The BRM H16 engine actually won one race, but it wasn't in a BRM car! It won the 1966 USA Grand Prix in a Lotus driven by Jim Clark.
I love that song at the end of your videos lol
Thank you :)
VisioRacer what is the title of the song?
Exillerating video! It would have been nice to hear that Bugatti get up past 1500 rpm though, lol, the driver must have been 100 years old and super stoned😆
The problem of Visco at this video is, every fucking 16 cylinder engine sounds good.
Next could you please do best sounding straight 8s or something like that :)
Yes, definitely
Visioracer, you need to check out Fairbanks Morse model 32D :) that engine has hypnotic sound.
+didyliduu totally agree
this is cool
I really hope the new Bugatti V16 Engine will sound as good as some of these 🙏🏻🤩
The BRM V16 is the meanest one. 600hp from 1.5Ls...400hp/L in the 1950s. What a shame it wasn't more successful and widely adopted.
0:45 I think that's the first time I've ever seen a car with duallys in the rear.
The Sixteens have a note similar to their eight cylinder cousins, just leagues more intimidating.
My favourite gasoline engine is the BRM V16. My favorite diesel engine is the EMD 16-645E3.
Engineering crazyness at it's best !
Oh, that Auto Union!
Leider sind alle 30jahre silberpfeile im Krieg zerstört und heute repliken
3:51 the Devil 16 sounds a lot like a mixture between a V10 and VR6, and that makes sense since you get 16 cylinders...
2 way tie for best audio performance.. The little BRM V16 and the Auto Union.. Whenever the Mrs is talking to me, I will play the Auto Union hill climb scene in my head..
Nice
The VR style engines (the VR6 and VR8) have the same firing pattern as their inline 6 and 8 cousins. The VR style is just a zig zag inline engine.
I'm the kind of guy that like the V10 screaming.
Not the kind of guy that like V8 screaming, but I sent my respect for the 3L H16
@ZebsFrend Sorry, thx
The LS even found it's way in here.
Auto Union and BRM H16 hands down, then V16 BRM and Maserati
Leider sind alle 30jahre silberpfeile im Krieg zerstört und heute repliken
Jim Clark won the USA GP en 1966 with the Lotus BRM H16....
The Auto Union Type C is the graphic description of a "coffin on wheels"
That Auto union in the begining is brutal.
6:02 Vtec just kicked in yo.
Missing the English Electric SVT16 and CSVT 16 from and also the Maybach MD870 both wonderful sounding engines
6:15 Sounds Exactly like the saleen S7 on test drive unlimited!!!
6:01 made me cry
Disto já não há.......!
Something probably worth pointing at about the Auto Union Type C at the start of the video. The car on those clips is on Shelsley Walsh Hillclimb, UK in 2016, since they're commemorating the time one of their top drivers, legendary hillclimb driver Hans Stuck took one to try to shatter the hill record at Shelsley Walsh back in 1936 (which didn't happen because it rained at the event). So, 70 years later, Audi brought one back at Shelsley, driven by one of their former works drivers, Hans Joachim Stuck, yes, the son of Hans Stuck, the 1930s Auto Union driver.
Leider sind alle 30jahre silberpfeile im Krieg zerstört und heute repliken
10 cylinders more than my car. Wow 🤔
A flathead 7 litre v16 fuck it would sound crazy as fuck
Cizeta sounds insane
No mention of the Miller V16?
i want drive every cars in video:-D ;-)
Miller V16's are where it's at prewar engineering at its finest.
