this 4.6L V8 weighs less than 300 lb. (a LOT less than our flat 6's) and makes 600 hp with 400 ft-lb. torque

What engine is this?

I'm thinking of building a Lotus 7, the turbo isn't needed but a 300# V8 sounds great! I've been thinking of a Lexus 1UZ-FE the last version had variable valve timing and 300 or so hp at 320 pounds

The two blue and red on the left rear are Ford SOHC engines. The right rear one appears to be SBF with an overhead cam conversion. The front left some road race / inspired Ford engine.

The SOHC engine were a real innovation in their day as the cylinder heads had machined intake and exhaust ports as well as combustion chambers. The only production engine ever to have that level of finish machine work. It also was designed from the beginning as a high RPM with extended use.

Upper left Hemi 302 (experimental); lower left Indy turbo; center 7L experimental Le Mans; upper left , as mentioned, experimental SOHC; and the last one is a Boss 429.

The block maybe weighs 300#s. But the exhaust system looks to weigh a lot more than that.

Thx for posting that - EVs "too heavy, and they don't make a cool sound"

154 lbs. is an amazing wt. - is that for the non-turbo version?

Great stuff but I think some of the stats posted are "optimistic" to say the least. Christian love cars but he's also a great salesman.

They look like great cars but what are they like to own long term?
Are they reliable and dependable or will they spend most of their time in a workshop?

The current Mclaren cars have a rep of being the new Lotus and that's not a compliment.

Captain Ahab Jr 03-17-2020 04:20 PM

I'm impressed with what Koenigsegg do, not a huge company compared to Bugatti, McLaren and Ferrari but they do some very cool stuff

All the aero work on the Singer was done by a young ex-Koenigsegg aerodynamist

I really enjoyed watching him drag (see what I did there ;) a classic 911 shape from a car with negative lift to a car with down force while keeping the smooth Porsche lines

Thanks guys. I think there are a few people selling them but I bought it from RIX914parts.com and am very happy with how they turned out.
