W24 Engine... (Just an idea)
Discussion
I was thinking about how Bugatti wielded together two V8's to make the Veyron, and then had an idea, if they really want to push a car to it's limits, why not wield together two V12's? It would be difficult to make a car wide enough, but if they attach them vertically, it could work. Imagine that, 10 billion horsepower and 2,000 mph. Does anyone else think this could work, or am I dreaming?
The Veyron features an 8.0 litre W16 engine — 16 cylinders in two banks of eight cylinders, or the equivalent of two narrow-angle V8 engines mated in a "W" configuration. Each cylinder has four valves for a total of 64, but the narrow staggered 8 configuration allows two overhead camshafts to drive two banks of cylinders so only four camshafts are needed. The engine is fed by four turbochargers and displaces 7,993 cubic centimetres (487.8 cu in), with a square 86 mm by 86 mm (3.4 in × 3.4 in) bore and stroke.
