💪The Aston Martin Valkyrie and Gordon Murray T-50 both feature high-performance naturally aspirated engines.
🏎️These engines are V12s, designed for maximum power output and high RPM.
🔥The Valkyrie's engine is a 6.5-liter, 65-degree V12, producing 1000 horsepower at 10,500 RPM.
🚀The T-50's engine is also a high-revving V12, producing over 700 horsepower at 7000 RPM.
🌪️Both engines are designed by Cosworth and use port fuel injection for optimized performance.
What makes these engines special?
—These engines stand out for their naturally aspirated design, high power outputs, and ability to rev to over 10,000 RPM.
How do the engines achieve such high RPM?
—The engines have short strokes, optimized airflow, and gear-driven camshafts, allowing them to rev higher and generate more power.
Why did they choose port fuel injection?
—Port fuel injection was chosen to meet emissions targets without the need for a particulate filter, ensuring high-performance while reducing pollutants.
What are the challenges of using these engines as structural components?
—Using the engines as structural components presents unique challenges in terms of weight reduction and managing the stresses placed on the engine.
Are these engines reliable?
—The target lifespan for these engines is 100,000 kilometers, showcasing their reliability and durability.
