This is one of the the most beautiful engines anywhere: it's an Alfa Romeo from the 1988 ProCar series. Essentially, I think they lifted it from their F1 program.

And then, one of the ugliest ..... a do-it-yourself 12 cylinder!

...cue banjo music!...dueling engine pix! :) That's great stuff guys.

I guess if we're going to show the new M5 V10, I need to show the M3 I6!

And one with the airbox removed showing the 6 throttles of the M3 engine.

And the CSL-style carbon airbox.

This one is interesting. It's a 2002 IRL Indy motor converted for street use. Available from Falconer Industries.

Don't let Darryl see those cut-away drawings. He'd have a stroke!

Very cool. I need a collection of some of these.

I bet I could fit one of those tiny little F1 or IRL motors in my miata!!

Kelly-Moss Motorsports is developing a 928 motor for racing. Apparently they plan to put it into a 944 chassis. Crazy. Here is the blurb from their website:

This power plant has been one of the top priority's at KMR for the past couple of months. The 928 engine has spent many hours in R&D to make it one of the best all aluminum V8, 4 cam, 32 valve engines ever. Along with plenty of other modifications the EFI Technology engine management, custom stainless exhaust, and individual throttle body injection make this beast roar. This 700+hp engine will definitely get some serious attention at the track.

How about a video? Check out this video of the Renault F1 engine on a dyno. If you’re quick, you can see fuel being sprayed directly into the top of the intake trumpets.

(If you get lost on the Renault F1 site, just put “dyno video” into the search box.)
