They are absolute animals unrestricted. Unfortunately, NASCAR has decided to restrict them to create "better competition" and now we no longer have that. 2014 was the best year for them as they ran an 825hp package that had the cars revving over 10,000rpms around the tracks. Unfortunately, we may never see that again with the direction NASCAR is taking.
The Ruf actually is a mix of a Flat 8 and a Flatplane V8, the block is a Flat 8 but the crank is a Flatplane V8 crank...😅 sounds hilarious I know, but there is a slight difference between a Flat 8 crank and a Flatplane V8 crank, that's why it sounds much like a ferrari...
The flatplane sounds amazing, but its missing the rumble of the crossplane, which is one of the most pleasing sounds in the world, at least to my ears.
It's a shame that the straight 8 is a thing of the past. I would like to see that they make a comeback. They sound just phantastic. And this evinrude V8, i need one in my Trabant ... 😍
The burble of a crossplane 4 stoke v8 sounds great but evinrudes 2stoke v8 is a whole other animal. There are videos of a car a guy put one in and it sounds amazing.
Although the Volkswagen W8 engine is known in the world, I consider that it is a rarity in the motor world since its production was for a few years, and it also sounded very good, you should also consider adding it in this top.
I dont mean to be off topic but does someone know a method to get back into an instagram account..? I stupidly lost the password. I appreciate any tips you can give me.
@Cain Prince Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and im trying it out now. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
I have always been a fan of straight 8s ... they were pretty common when I was a ks back in the 50's ... very smooth ... adding the Deso valve train makes this a pretty uncommon automobile .... very cool.
Nice engines! I've heard the IO-720 in real life. Piper bolted it to their Comanche and while the resulting Comanche 400 was a missile, even at 1965 gas prices it was expensive to operate. Honourable mention to the W8 which manages to sound like a flat plane V8 and a straight 8 at the same time.
I'd definitely say my favourite is the Mercedes straight-8. It sounds glorious and its direct fuel injection and desmodromic valve control were spacecraft-like technology on the 50's. Oh, and BTW, it's not called the Fiat "8V", it's "Ottovu"... ;)
@@johncholmes643 The precise truth is that US spelling (usually) lacks the U. The rest of the English-speaking world has that U. In fact, not having the U is the older spelling, and used to be normal spelling in England. Unfortunately, speakers of US 'English' like to dis-allow the other nations' version of English. It's rather arrogant.
The Volkswagen W8 engine is my favorite v8 of all time . Powerful , sounds great and when either super or turbo charged they're like a gift from the heavens
Wow! You have made plenty of videos with impressive and/or interesting engine selections, but the only way I can describe this is inspiring! Every single one of those examples flooded my imagination with the possibilities! Bravo!
Love your videos bro, been around since the beginning and they just get better with time. Your English has gotten soooo good man, keep up the great work and hopefully we will get you too a million subscribers because you deserve that and more. Thanks for the videos I look forward too many many more!
The Porsche 908 in the Gulf colors sounded the best. Honorable mention to the Evinrude 2-stroke. If you could find video of a Detroit Diesel 8V53, it would be a great addition.
Lycoming IO-720: Those rear cylinders must have it hard when it comes to cooling and reliability. Liquid cooling may be heavy and complicated in aircraft applications but is the only way to go when you want the most out an engine. 👌🏻😎👍🏻 First time I saw an Evinrude V8 at the ramp many moons ago I had to do a double take and count those cylinders(cover was off for some reason), specially for being a 2 stroke.
If we are talking about boat engines, its hard to beat the sound of an old Mercury 2 stroke inline 6 "tower of power". Amazing sounding engine at full speed.
Unless you went behind the Iron Curtain (or watched a movie filmed in or around Berlin) then the Gaz Chaika was indeed a rare sight to the Western world. If memory serves I seem to recall that these were used by the KGB........ not an organisation I would want to get on the wrong side of for sure 🤔. I also vaguely recall that they weren't particularly reliable. Nice content Vis 👍🚗🛥🛩.
As a kid in the 1960s I remember our village garage had the remains of a prewar Armstrong Siddley straight eight which had been used as a tow truck and abandoned when an AEC Matador made a better base for a crane after the war. I recall an impossibly long inlet manifold and a single updraft carburettor. I expect it was dog slow but pulled like a cart horse. It probably also had a drink problem.
Blue Av Gas commonly known as smurf juice also has an octane rating around 150. I use it in all my trucks but only add half a gallon to the full tank because it burns so hot, its also used to clean valves due to the high temp it burns at. If too much is used it FRY O2 sensors quicker than you can blink.
My go-to configuration for an *8-cylinder combustion engine* is a *cross-plane four-stroke V8,* preferably one with *direct fuel-injection* rather than *carburetors* (including a *V8 turbo-diesel engine* in trucks), but also a crossplane four-stroke *straight-8.*
1:05 that Volvo V8 can outbest the Hemi in idling symphony or if not outbest perhaps a cross-sword rivalry!! Always great to hear from Soviet treasury!! I am a mad romeo of their Tatra and Gaz ..i mean dang that chaika has some big balls of over 5K cc engine!!
I believe there was a Swedish race team putting an Evinrude/Johnson two stroke V-8 in an old Volvo Amazon for drag racing.

Pretty sure the Yamaha outboard V8 was originally designed and used in Volvos. It had a narrow bank angle which allowed Volvo to mount it transversely and Benefited width of the outboards.
YES! Run ‘em wide open and only stop to top up the fuel and fill up the oil :) Love how they sound like they are running at 5000+ rpm...I’d rather be 2-strokin’ xD
The thing that amazes me about the Chaika, is that the communists were so opposed to the capitalist ideas of America, but they still drew very heavily on the style of American cars. It looks very much 57 Chevrolet in the back, and very much late 50's Chrysler in the front.
Crossplane V8 all the way. You can keep your V10s & V12s, crossplane V8s are the best sound in the automotive world IMO. Flat plane V8s just sound like a busy inline 4 cylinder to me.
Gotta be the Benz, fantastic noise that got even better with the supercharger :) As for my favourite, I love an 8V-71 Detroit with small-diameter straight pipes...probably because I watched Maximum Overdrive waaaay too many times as a young’un 😅
The 5.8L engines that NASCAR use are my favorite. A burbly crossplane that can scream bloody murder at 10000RPM is a thing of beauty.

The engines are about the only good thing about NASCAR. Especially now, that NASCAR has bent the knee. So sad.
I like the high pitch sound of a flatplane v8, but i also like the beefy sound of crossplane v8
Me too! They both have their places.

it gave me goosebumps
I had an eargasm🥰😂
It's a shame that the straight 8 is a thing of the past. I would like to see that they make a comeback. They sound just phantastic.
And this evinrude V8, i need one in my Trabant ... 😍
There's a dude who put a evinrude in their tube chassis volvo Amazon!
it would twist the poor little Trabant like a pretzel :D
I got a straight 8 in my boat
Ich stimme dir in beiden punkten zu!
Crank too long :(
I love them all but that Evinrude fuel injected 2 stroke outboard V8 sounds amazing!
2 strokes deliver a power pulse from each piston on every crank revolution .. the speed with which that motor builds revs is incredible.
My dad had a Evinrude two stroke V6 once. Sounded like a drag car when on ground. It was sick! Hearing the V8 was just even better
The burble of a crossplane 4 stoke v8 sounds great but evinrudes 2stoke v8 is a whole other animal. There are videos of a car a guy put one in and it sounds amazing.

I have always been a fan of straight 8s ... they were pretty common when I was a ks back in the 50's ... very smooth ... adding the Deso valve train makes this a pretty uncommon automobile .... very cool.
The amount of engineering that Mercedes put into the development of that Desmodromic motor must've been vast....
That W 196 Inline 8 is the most beautiful 8 cylinder I've ever heard.

@Biggest Richard Cranium
Correction, there is *a* not an....
For me 2 stroke v8 is the most awesome because that's completely crazy to hear a engine which is v8 and it's 2 stroke
check out an 8v71 or 8v92 2-stroke Detroit. They either came blown or turbocharged and have a pretty nifty sound to them.
The Evinrudes sound absolutely wicked! Wish I had one in a car. The Porsche sounds cool too.
The 2 stroke outboard Evinrude sounds wicked!
You should google rudezon. Its a car with that engine.
I keep thinking that having a Evinrude ETEC 250 in a Miata would be the sickest thing ever 😁
@@mathiashaland1719
Seen it.
@@EdBoi18
That would be fun, I bet. How about on a motorcycle?
That Yamaha outboard is exceptionally compact for a 350HP V8
It's a DOHC 5.3, I'm betting it just looks small on camera or is extremely oversquare or both
And it sounded great!
@Biggest Richard Cranium Yamaha did not copy the gm 5.3. The yamaha is a double overhead cam, the gm is a cam in block
With yics
Without a doubt, must be a illusion, 5.3 liter v8 and it looks like a old 2 cylinder outboard
No replacement for displacement💪🏼

The flat plane V8 is definitely one of the my favorites especially from RUF
The Volkswagen W8 engine is my favorite v8 of all time . Powerful , sounds great and when either super or turbo charged they're like a gift from the heavens
The Volvo B36 was pretty successful in boats as the Penta AQ180. Dual carb version, 180 stands for 180hp.
I thought the GAZ was basically a off brand Bel Air XD
It looks like a 57 chrysler limo
It's a copy of a Packard
Look up the Bel air it is very similar.
@@kevintucker3354 It could also be that
There is a GAZ that looks a lot like that but basically copied the Bel air
That Fiat engine sounded pretty unique. Must be a flat-plane with an odd firing pattern due to the 70 degree bank angle.
I also like its sound, yes. Definitely unique
The flat 8 from the Porsche 908 was my favorite.
It's a *flat-plane 4.6L V8* combined with an *electric motor* in the *Porsche 918,* not a *flat-8.*
Jose Carrillo II we’re talking about the 908, not 918.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_908
@@nathanw7114 Oops! My bad! I thought it was the *Porsche 918 e-Hybrid hybrid hypercar.*
Keep Up The Great Work, Visio, I Love Your Videos A Lot, It Keeps Me Learning Something New!
I second that.
Fangio would be disappointed to see his old car been driven soo slow! hahahha (Mercedes w196, amazing car by the way)
Why can't they get a narrator where English is his first language.....
Well, the one time Fangio got reunited with it, he gave Jack Brabham a run for his money!
Here's that clip: th-cam.com/video/QeQ_jVjBvg4/w-d-xo.html
Definitely an inline 8
I love V8s with flatplane crankshaft - high revs 👌 (Ferrari, McLaren, etc.), F355 and 360 Modena are TOP!
I think the Porsche 908 does it for me,truly a visceral scream of power...closely followed by the Evi rude stroker V8!
Thank you for finally showing the world the mighty Volvo B36. One of my favorite engines ever!
That Evinrude just sounds awesome
My favorite sound of all time, old school American carbureted V-8s.
Your voice, intonation and pronunciation is getting better and better. Keep doing! Nice vid
Thank you!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE japanese inline-4s on motorcycles, the sound is music to the ears and the reliability of Honda and Suzuki is legendary!
W8 is one of my favorite engines of all time
That Porsche flat 8 in the 908 race car sounds absolutely spectacular
The boxer 8 from the 908 is the best sounding 8 cylinder, period.
At Watkins Glen 1969, one could hear a 904 rumble, a 906 scream and a 908 rumbling scream. Still remember that music in my advanced age today.
I like the new intro song! Many years seeing your vids and that was a good surprise hahaha, because your content its always good! B-)
Thanks!
Wow a 2 stroke V 8 but I love the I 8 inline 8 is very balanced smooth vibration and harmonics
That Porsche 908 in the first of the two clips sounded the best!
Wow! You have made plenty of videos with impressive and/or interesting engine selections, but the only way I can describe this is inspiring! Every single one of those examples flooded my imagination with the possibilities! Bravo!

That Porsche flat 8 in the second video sounded great.
1:18 M-B W196 from when you needed balls of steel to race cars. I can't imagine how frightening one of those 300hp animals would be at-speed.
I like the sound of the Flat-8 the most. It just sounds so raw and brutal
That Porsche sounded brutal!
Can’t find one I don’t like. Thanks for again showing me some I haven’t seen before.

the moment I saw "desmodromic" in the thumbnail I knew you were talking about the Mercedes W196 engine. It's a work of beauty
Two 2BBL Carter carbs on the Chaika V8? Sweet. Pretty weird the way they're offset. I've never seen a design like that.
Check out the Chrysler Max Wedge engines from early 60’s Super Stock. They also feature offset dual quads on a crossram intake :)
Has to be a 2 stroke. Goes with the smell of Castrol r. HEAVEN😋
Don’t know why, but my favourite was inline 8
Two stroke v8 they sound so good
There was one inverted V-8 aircraft engine from Argus, used in Fiesler Fi- 156 Storch plane in WW II times...
Boxers and Straights are my favs.
That Tatra is a beauty
