Racing Engine
Assignment
Perhaps one notes outward similarities with a Formula 1 engine, although this with four cylinders and 500cc more, even weight 10% less. Perhaps there are indeed only the valve covers from carbon fiber material and the air funnel that suggest such affinities. This is certainly an engine, running some time ago in the International Touring Car Championship. In 1996 there were approximately 150 kW/liter (200 hp/liter) still the measure of all things.
Function
No, the 367 kW (500 hp) can not be compared to Formula 1. The whole design of this V6 but one seem familiar. You can see it at the wonderfully adjustable, but very close to the series generator. Further interesting, the coolant pump as a attached part. The rest is quick described with four valves and intermittent intake-manifold fuel injection. It does not include the base plate it only serves as a holder. 10/11
