what a beauty, imagine what that beast would sound like.

Gorgeous engineering work.....and powerful too.....there must be more than a few guys on here that would fancy making their own engine from scratch.

Fantastic piece of work - but unique - not sure about that unless they mean the micro size/modern engineering side - the three bank engines were knocking around in the 1920's record braking cars like Bluebird, a three bank 24 litre W12 called the Napier Lion.

I wonder what he'll put it in. Does the name mean it's destined for an Atom? Might be great in a Smart or Elise chassis.

Jeez, that must have cost more than most engineering department's annual budget!

pretty impressed it can rev that high with that kind of bore/stroke ratio. amazing piece of kit really

it has been around for a bit and poseted on here.

still looks amazing. think it was destined for a LM style car. from what i remeber they have 3.0ltr restriction on them and then have to run restrictors. the restrictor size is dependent on the engines sucsses. most fit the Nissan 3.0 V6 but that means you have small restrictors. so a NEW engine means you can run the biggest restrictors (for the first race or so anyway! lol).

love to know how much one would set someone back.

thanks Chris.
