Very nice.

Did you here the bit about they have removed the liners to make the bores bigger and coated whats left with something special. On the V12 it took it from a 6.0ltr to a 7.3ltr.

So could the be away to add more litres to our cars?

If I had a spare £1.2m it would be spent on a Zonda and a small ski chalet with the change. That aside, who the hell would spend that sort of money and then choose that colour scheme??? punch
Have to agree about the exhaust note though...

notice the nice power steering fluid bottle is the same as in our nobles, or a mondeo for that matter... so much effort let down by a £40 plastic bottle wink

I'd be suprised if it's Nikasil, they were using that in the 70's, it must have moved on

The only coating mentioned is DLC on the valves and piston pins.

"Cylinder block and crankcase
the cylinder block has retained
the original architecture bore
spacing of 102mm but the bore
has been increased to 94mm.
replacing the original
pressed-in cast-iron liners,
the bore has been plasmairon sprayed onto the
parent metal, using the
sulzer metco rotaPlasma
process"

sounds expensive !

Think this is a ford tech that Nissan used on the GTR and ford used on GT500 2013.
