Holy Crap, did you see that puppy glow!!!

800 horses at only 18k rpm is impressive for the new V8s. At 160dB I don't think it'd pass noise tests for the road though...

Another cool F1 engine video (it's been posted before).

Holy crap!

I'd say drop that into a Datsun 510 and we got ourselves a sleeper.

Great, thanks for sharing those vids 👍 (I have seen the second vid before though)

Why does the beggining of the video show 2004?

 

[jammyozzy]

Because it was made in 2004. The RS24 was Renault's 2004 engine. From http://www.sportnetwork.net/main/s208/st22631.htm:

Performance

* Engine speed in excess of 18000 RPM, providing a maximum power of more than 800 BHP.

Look, you can see 10 cylinders in one of the shots:

It sounds awesome, but it's not the new engine.

I should have counted the cylinders...

The output was too high for the revs if it was a new V8...

There's a Cosworth V8 video here. Old news, but worth a repost here in this context.

I knew this was the V10 and said so in my origanal post but edited in case I made a mistake somewhere and didnt want to look stupid. The sound was a dead giveaway.

👍

FYI, the new V8s sound like a dentist drill.
