Nice sounding hi-tech euro engine. Sure, I love the rumble of a traditional sounding V8 (AMG road cars for example) but, it's nice to have a different sound among the Holdens and Fords in this race series
Honestly why are flat plane cranks not usable for a 10? Firing order? All I know is flat plane crank's rod attachment points are 180 degrees from each other and not 90-ish like most other cranks.
Because the crankpin configuration with an even firing 10 cylinder engine is determined by 720 degrees (4 strokes 2 crankshaft rotations) divided by the number of cylinders, which would be 72, a 72 degree offset on each crankpin. For a v8 it would be 90 degrees, but since 90 is a multiple of 180, 180 can also be used.
arguably the best sounding v8 supercar ever!
God I miss this era.... Take me back to 2014!!
IKR, its so weird now
Best sounding V8 Supercar ever made. Would love to buy one of these things some day as a track day toy
But remove the wing
@@thatonenigeriansformulawhat a daft comment.
@@ozPanzer i just dont like the wing all that much
@@thatonenigeriansformula it's a race car haha. I'd put a bigger wing on it for faster lap times 😉
@@Matt_Rides race cars dont have to have wings
It is a flat plane crank, but in a 5L V8 :D
Sounds crazy, like a proper V8 but also with a proper howl too
What a shame we won't hear these again!
Oh, why not?

There are no Mercedes cars in V8 Supercars anymore. Their sound was rather unique.
I got that bit but why aren't they racing anymore?.

I guess it was too expensive for the private team to develop and improve this car.
Oh, makes sense I spose. Unfortunate none the less, they sound amazing.

Amazing to think this is just a short-stroke flat-plane crank in a very slightly overbored (0.49mm) M156 block...
Those cars sound amazing love them. In v8s im a holden fan but I do like the new mercs and they do sound the best.
that's right sound for race car!!
Best looking and Best sounding car out there :) Although im still a FORD man lol
120deg 5L v8 n/a Sounds like a beast!
M8, great sounds... :-O
Got it, thanks
best supercar sound
yes, aarnots at eastern creek sydney
That's what the future sounds like.
Sounds similar to the last W203 and first W204 DTM Mercedes 🤩
Sounds like a Mazda 787b 4 rotor :)
More like the old jordan chassis F1’s
134 judd is a monster

Sounds like a low revving f1 engine
F1 ran flat plane crank V10's for a long time before turbo engines were intorduced. lol.
The series has gone backwards since they dropped these.
Sleeved 6.3 I believe (down to 5L). N/A engine.
YES 100% and destroked
Sounds like an old F5000 car.
That is the best sound. They sound like they rev far more freely that the Holden and Ford engines. Gonna be very interesting in 2013.
Shame they weren't competative
6.3 or 5.5 Bi-Turbo????
Sounds like a flat plane crank v10 more than a V8!
sounds today, not 1950s
It's as un-Australian as a Japanese car being made in a America, but...
formula one???
lets just hope they sound like a formula 1 and not drive or have the speed of one
this is un-australian
No just no
