I've always wondered whether they could've got a Veyron to go just as fast with a lighter, less complex V motor - maybe a V8, V10 or V12?
It seems the W format created quite a bit of extra hassle with regards to cooling and whatnot, plus it must weigh heaps. So what do you reckon, learned fellow forum dweller, do you think they could've reliably got roughly 1100 HP and 1250nm of torque from a lighter V motor? The key point I guess is 'reliably' it would have to be up to VW's high standards, so relatively lowly stressed. Me personally, hmmm, I think I woulda tried a quad turbo V10 of 6 litre capacity - no specifc reason just taking the middle ground I guess... |
