May be totally wrong but i think the incredible power from the engine would snap the drive shafts, we're blessed with much better materials these days to improve the reliability of these magnificent machines.
listen to the recording from "Into The Red" of Nick Mason's BRM, Pink Floyd know a thing or two about sound, can't remember which circuit but they were giving it some :)
I would be very surprised if this is full rpm (peak rpm 12,000)I know from riding high revving motorcycles - not 16 cylinders though LOL I would estimate this is a peak of 8000 RPM, which would make sense if you read about the power curve and when it kicks in 8000 and up is when it starts to go stupid ! LOL
@@malcolmwhite3567yeah, it was pretty tame at "normal engine" speeds. Like 300-ish horsepower at around 6000-7000 rpm. But supposedly peaked as high as 800-900 over 10000 rpm. At a time when 500-600 hp was almost unheard of (and remember, from just 1.5 liters displacement).
I am in love with the auditory histrionics of this car. Two banks of eight cylinders with amazing balance characteristics screaming at 12K RPM, who says engineering can't have sex appeal?
the only problem with it is for such a small (1.5) engine block it has a lot of rotating mass and energy being transferred all over the block. It puts immense stress on itself at full tilt which is likely what brings it such a poor reliability reputation.
@@user-zq6yz5gf6dIt was the ignition. They weren’t used to such high revs and boost. You can hear it on that recording of Nick Mason’s car. Lots of misfires.
The only problem with this video is it isn’t longer! It is such a treat to have a video like this of the legendary V16 being pushed hard! The noise of this is truly intoxicating. Thanks for sharing this with us all!
Oh my god. I've been waiting for years to get to hear this thing at full chat with good audio. Ive come back hear this thing every day for 5 days now and it's still as intoxicating as the first time.
Monthly? I've been back daily! I've lost count at this point. It's my most favorite car of all time and my first tattoo will probably be of this car. Any footage you have, please keep it coming!
What a wonderful sound ,I had a stressful job and I would put this on to unwind, the sound of this wonderful machine, it may sound strange but I just loved it 👍🇬🇧
That is about the narrowest track I’ve ever seen! Perhaps on a wider track we might hear him really turn it loose? The fastest electric car in the world can’t give you those high RPM goosebumps!
I'm so glad I came across this. A while back when I caught wind some folks were going to build a new BRM V16 I was so excited. And to really see it on tracks now being given the full send literally brings tears to my eyes. Hats off to the folks with the passion for a legend like this and the driver who gives her a proper send!
Has to be the best sounding engine of all time - a mechanical symphony, So many others, (RR Merlin, DFV, Audi Quattro and Cosworth BDA), but this is just amazing.
What an incredible quality of sound that engine produces! Very rich, and the smoothness is astounding. Compared to the sound clip of Nick Mason's car, which seems a bit more rough (still eye-wateringly good), this engine is flawless.
This video only gives us the low to high midrange of the rpm band of this incredible engine/ car. When the engine really reaches the powerband, the note changes entirely. It really sings over 7000 rpm. The growl goes away and it turns to a howl as the horsepower jumps to double and the tires want to break loose. You only get a momentary taste of it at 0:43.
Shame Mr Eddy Walder (the late track commentator) was not around to see this. I can guarantee he would be talking about this for the next few weeks at work! Awesome beast
So cool this car, I am just reading an old book Raymond Mays, fantastic reading, Raymond loved the Shelsley Walsh hill climb. I am at the ERA point in the book, He was big on super chargers and pushing the limits of cars. Raymond Mays and his team of Men did wonders. The supercharged BRM V16 is a beast.The efforts made in those early times was impressive to get an English racing car on the racing scene.
Driver can't even go full throttle in a straight line on that thing. Must feel like being catapulted to outer space while holding on to the reins of the wildest runaway stallions in a small diligence. Mother of god
This engine sound is better than any orgasm in the world ever could be, and believe me, I know from what I am talking. The absolute madness. This sound conveys a time as freedom still could be lived as this what it is and not like an artificial terminology as it is today!
That sounds really savage!, only a shame it wasn't more reliable out of the box, our engineering flair was good at problems like getting big power out of only 1.5 litres.
It arguably doesn't need an ECU as this is a modern perfect recreation of what was the 1950s BRM all built with modern metallurgy and knowhow. It's still an amazing thing. It blew people's hats off when it left the line...
For sure my favorite racing car sound😊😊😊Love this BRM!!😊lots of first line engineering for the time,and,and,i may say a1500cc engine of that time was better than todays 1500cc competition engines😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
She really singing..I've never hardly seen anyone drive anyone drive any similar car that hard and slide and drift. Looks like the driver really knew their stuff.
The driver has to know this car backwards... The driver is Rick Hall, the man responsible for building the new recreation cars. He had also restored the original cars as well...

My dad took me as a child to see a V16 BRM going round Silverstone. For added realism, it broke down after half a lap.
You're evil❗😱👩🔧

Been searching for footage of this thing being driven on full attack.... It sounds better than I imagined.
And isn't it good..!
That doesn't appear to be full out either, I think he was holding back.

One of the best 49 seconds on TH-cam.
0:35 to the end is the best 14 seconds
That's sound demonic yet angelic at the same time
Demonic yet Angelic. Perfect!

49 seconds is simply not enough for the soul..
Top Gear Tunnel Run with the BRM V16 in binaural audio, thank me later.
That change down at 0:23 made every single one of the hairs on my arms stand straight up.
Absolutely glorious.
Dear god...
Its so beautiful.
Whoa, that sound is insane glory.
Absolutely awesome sound ❤

Even better trackside to hear it!
@@ShelsleyWalsh
I bet, not many chances left.
Good glad you had the opportunity.
👍👍👍👍
This literally sounds like if Ferrari’s last V12 in F1 from 95 had a baby with a blown small block
Love the sound of that beast!
So exotic sounding and yet 1947. Wow!
That sounds like a real race car!
Oh my god. I've been waiting for years to get to hear this thing at full chat with good audio. Ive come back hear this thing every day for 5 days now and it's still as intoxicating as the first time.

I could listen to this all day. Possibly the best sounding engine ever.
Gosh. This thing is a BRUTE! I love it!
Una buena maquina....
I had the privilege to witness being there hearing this engineering master piece. Thankyou, truly amazing

Give the job to Honda!
Sheesh imagine an updated v16 with todays tech and parts this would be a monster
Wow,that is one funky powerful sounding engine.
Einfach nur ein geiler Sound, der eine Gänsehaut verbreitet.
Has to be the best sounding engine of all time - a mechanical symphony, So many others, (RR Merlin, DFV, Audi Quattro and Cosworth BDA), but this is just amazing.
What a sound!!!
WHAT A NOISE! Gorgeous!!!
one of the best sounding engines of all time. you can hear the start of the wailing sound that later naturally aspirated engines have.
True work of art
Thank you for this video you have done a great service was lovely watching it attacking the hill
Thank you incredible
quel son merveilleux ! Bravo aux ingénieurs !
Absolutely incomparable,magnificent engineering symphony, thank you for sharing.
😊i am so happy that i could see and hear this incredible engine at the Goodwood festival of speed a few years ago. Love to be there once again 😢
Wunnerful, wunnerful; brings tears to the eyes, more easily than even the Merlin.
Thank you, Lawrence Welk. Now we have the lovely Alice Lean to sing for you, a'wonnerful, a'wunnerful•••••
A one and a two and a.
absolute music, save for the short shift just before the finish... Thank you very much. This is rare footage, indeed, of a very rare machine.
It's only been twice the sound of a machine has made my eyes well up with tears, and this is the second.
What was the first? Judd V8?
@@msport_erick2.0 tdi😁
Merlin 🤔
@@msport_erick close, Judd V10 with no rev limiter th-cam.com/video/sMxh_LaCXqg/w-d-xo.html
@@msport_erick You jest lol, now a 1971 V12 Matra does it for me.
Crazy run. Those tires are scary.
Incredible skill and bravery.
If I ever get an electric car, it will play this glorious tune for all to enjoy ! 😍
What an absolute joy it must be to fight the power between that V16 and the obvious understeer this BRM has. Great vid!
That sounds sweet.
Oh yes!
Truly epic!
Awesome "music" for the soul,I like the most the BRM P25 from 1959😊😊😊❤❤❤
what a machine
Man she sounds so Beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
It sounds...otherworldly!
I think I just found my new favorite sound.
Tears in my ears.
I'm hoping new bugatti v16 will sound like that 🤞
Superb.
That sounds man...like a very very angry machine.. it's screaming, that have a scary vibes to it.. roaring V16 engine. Imagine driving that beast!
What an incredible quality of sound that engine produces! Very rich, and the smoothness is astounding. Compared to the sound clip of Nick Mason's car, which seems a bit more rough (still eye-wateringly good), this engine is flawless.
Whenever I think of formula 1 racing that is the sound I always hear in my head, truly exhilarating.

Oh that's some music ! At the end I realized I forgot to keep breathing ...
Glad you got straight into it.
The best way is always the sound..!
@@ShelsleyWalsh indeed...
The throttle blips are the chefs kiss
In my teens I was lucky to have seen it at Aintree circuit. That was 70 years ago.. OH DEAR.
Shame Mr Eddy Walder (the late track commentator) was not around to see this. I can guarantee he would be talking about this for the next few weeks at work! Awesome beast

Beautiful sound😍😍😍
It is!
Driver can't even go full throttle in a straight line on that thing. Must feel like being catapulted to outer space while holding on to the reins of the wildest runaway stallions in a small diligence. Mother of god
maybe this should be my new alarm sound
Excellent idea!
First time hearing a v16. The sound is very unique. It almost sounds like a combination of a v8 v10 and a v12 sound in one. Very fascinating
Basically the growl of v8, the throatiness of a v10, and the pitch of a v12 all at the same time.
Couldn't agree more!
Love
Just wooooooow
This engine sound is better than any orgasm in the world ever could be, and believe me, I know from what I am talking. The absolute madness. This sound conveys a time as freedom still could be lived as this what it is and not like an artificial terminology as it is today!
Supercharged 1.5-litre (90.8 cu. in.) V-16 cylinder!!! Crazy!! Love this era of Formula 1!
Holy sh#t that was awesome 😎
That sound!!!!
That sounds really savage!, only a shame it wasn't more reliable out of the box, our engineering flair was good at problems like getting big power out of only 1.5 litres.
Bore and stroke of about 5 cms!
Gentlemen...
Diablo, Satana and Mephistopheles just gave me a call.
They kindly request to be let out of that engine block now.
WOW 🤩
BRM and Lotus ...💯
Wish my Pa could hear/see this . Fantastic skills and spanner twirling 😁😁😁👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Amazing
Oh man! Can you imagine what that BEAST could do in a modern chassis with modern computer control??
It arguably doesn't need an ECU as this is a modern perfect recreation of what was the 1950s BRM all built with modern metallurgy and knowhow. It's still an amazing thing. It blew people's hats off when it left the line...

Glorious sound indeed
Just....fantaaaastic!
Ouch ! 💞

Tracks looks familiar Is this the hill climb richard hammond binned his nova?? Also that V16 sound is music to my ears damn
Absolutely incredible. Why couldn't Bugatti produce a sound like this? Their W16 must sound like a boat, this one sings like a diva.
Sounds like 27 motorcycles all racing in a pack.
It's like lots of 250 Honda V6s!
The boat engines? @@ShelsleyWalsh
Jesus Christ. This thing must have been terrifying to drive back in the day without all the modern safety and mechanical things installed.
