The v16 he designed was actually two ls motors fused together imagine a v16 pushrod engine that is two ls motors basically fused together I bet it was legit too but I don’t think it ever made 5000 horsepower at least not reliably

I'm curious if he ever fully got paid for all that R&D of that motor. Considering everything else about this car was BS, id bet he didn't. Although that engine dyno video got a lot of views back in the day. Maybe that helped him become as big as he is today

yeah i can believe that, most people don't think about how everything outside of the engine is just as, if not even more so, important on something like a high performance hyper car

Another example is "The Line" linear city project. it doesn't take a degree in civil engineering to realize it's a complete nonsensical non-starter.
Yeah but engine only makes 1k alone and its NA followed by 3 electric motors. compared to what could have been a quad turbo v16 engine. But props to Bugatti for making a v16 a reality.

Heres just some bonus things that just make this whole car not what it seems: -car has very little ventilation for a engine of its size to keep it cool, very reminiscent of the Trion Nemesis in this aspect -interior is identical to that of a c8 (partially mentioned in video) -only 1 v16 was made and Steve Morris has been doing anything but building more of then (his channel is proof of this) -added wing which would only slow the car down, not ideal if you were making a car that is supposed to break speed records, car also doesnt look particularly aerodynamic -apparently weighs over 2300kg/5200lbs. Its 16% heavier than a bugatti chiron. -Poor build quality, earlier versions such as the one originally shown off had panels fall off the car on camera (referring to shmee150 video) -Previous iteration between the debut version and the c8 rebody had a extremely cheap and dated interior. -Never tested by actual car review channels or given to publications to review (SB is not exactly the most indepth of channels) -shotty film work on the official channel, thumbnails having peoples fingers in the shot, low quality, unprofessional content) -highest speed achieved so far in testing is 186mph, which is actually SLOWER than the claimed base model c8 topspeed. -car has very little room for radiators to help further cool said v16 or even v8 engine. -emissions? -might add more later
@@fihimsadiq8779 apparently its going electric and being put together by a bunch of california highschool students. lol. It is also apparently being shown off at the Las Vegas GP this year which im sure will happen…
add on top of the cooling the engine is making 5,000hp. there's a saying i heard once in racing "cooling is how much power you want to make and for how long."
Weight actually doesn’t matter much for top speed if you have a ton of power. The fastest land vehicle weighs 100 tons but it makes 100,000 horsepower and still reached a speed of just under 800 miles per hour.
@@chabweezy9905 yeah, that being said, you strap 2 jet engines to anything, it will be fast. The McLaren F1 was so fast, because it was light and aerodynamic. Not because it had a lot of power (pro tuners back then were pushing 900+hp on 2JZ engines). Another example would be the Ruf CTR. It only had around 470hp, but could reach 210mph. The Veyron needed so much power, compared to the F1, because it weighed like 1350lbs more.
That car in GTA Online, it;s one of the fastest cars in the game, but almost 18 years only tell us, the most probably is that the project is on development hell.
This video couldn't have come out on a better day, considering another V16 hypercar was unveiled today. The difference is that new car is a Bugatti and is actually coming out.
@ there’s a good reason for that assuming the firing order is setup up as even firing(which it should be on that layout). A V8 at 8000 rpm should essentially sound the same as a V16 at 4000 rpm. That’s the same reason why an Inline 5 engine sounds the same as a 72 degree even firing V10 at half the revs
the smx isnt just a v8 it is a 9.7L billet big block made to make the power while being able to do drag and drives. But as we have seen size isn't everything because all the smx cars have been getting beat and out lasted by a factory block coyote in a s197 mustang called snot rocket and it ru n s 6.3 in the 1/4 a number even mullet and some promods haven't hit with the smx. Now most ppl are pulling their LS swaps and jumping ship from chevy and dodge to go fast when they see that stock sealed coyote mustangs and f150s run 7s (mustang gt) 8s f150 in tge 1/4 mile needing boost and fuel. and factory computer and built factory trans. with no aftermarket billit blocks being made ppl are pushing factory blocks into the 6s and 5s with light card. if steaveorris started building a SM billet coyote now game over for most engine swaps. when snot rocket was owned by its previous owner joel steele it started life as a s197 boss mustang he street raved and drove to work and eventually it became the first domestic h pattern stick car in the 6s in the 1/4 a few years back. he was competitive against billet block 2jz drag supras that jad to swap motors after runs and he was running 6.7 before he sold tge shell to Brett lasala and now it does what it does
There *are* LS V16s in existence, but they're aimed at boat racing, and would never, *ever* be practical in a land setting, boats are generally on a whole other level.
@@carculturenation2166 well all that just proves how good the Coyote engine is and not that the SMX isn't competitive. You're comment that it doesn't last probably stems from Mullet's engine, a used engine that saw many miles. It was a 6 year old engine. I don't follow all the racing stuff, but I'm sure by percentage, there's more broken Coyotes than SMX engines. You see a couple of SMX engines failing and you think it won't last. They're making so much power and being pushed to it's limits, of course stuff is going to break.
@MisterScalper have they done a top speed run on it cause last I heard it did like 226mph but no one has ever put longer gears on it to see if it can break the 240 record
Bro I must say, you have in my opinion the BEST AND EASIEST NARRATING VOICE to listen to period. I love when a new 337 video drops...By far the best mini automotive Docs out there. Keep up the good work 🤘🏻🫶🏻
@@SillyW0rld hmm... what if koenigsegg made a model with a very VERY powerful V8 engine to beat the hell of the devel sixteen (Note: If my comment/question is shit, just judge me, because I'm quite only shitter who make some kind of bullshits)
One of the coolest looking Fiero V6 rare kit cars was the Scorpion. I almost bought a nearly completed one about 10 years ago. Man, did that thing look good! And if you turbo'd the stock v6, it would move out pretty good too.
I would’ve loved to see this car actually top speed testing & breaking records. The design is beautiful If I had the money I would’ve invested 100%. Bugatti, Koenigsegg, Ferrari, Hennessy etc. All had to start somewhere. Same people who say they love cars hated on this creation.
I tried telling people 5k hp is not streetable in any way years ago when it showed up. Between heat, it's thirsty engine, the fact it would only be able to carry enough fuel to drive conservatively maybe 90 miles. This wasn't hard to figure out. 😂
It's always a great refleif to see a video from this guy, seem to always learn something new. I always rembering being obsessed with this car as a kid and I'm glad it's still being tought about
Never even heard of that. They definitely should make it for real, because then it wouldn't just be a competition between Koenigsegg and Bugatti, there'd be a third member of the hyper car party. The body looks like a cross between a Batmobile and a LeMans racer. It just looks absurdly fast. 2:39 that's a proper funny way of describing the obsession with top speed 😅😆 Thing is though, most high performance cars lose a shit load of power from exhaust heat. The Veyron for example, had something like 4000HP, but loses 3000 because of the exhaust, ridiculous... Wonderful video again fella. Surprised Devel didn't name the car Billet - A throwback to the iconic film, and due to those engine parts being manufactured mostly from those processes.
To be fair to the Vector, the early test cars weren’t ready & were released early with stipulations to deal with that. McEnroe, the famous tennis player, took one of them to show off to his friends & Vector warned him about not pushing it too hard before they could complete final assembly. What’d he do? Completely destroyed it, doing everything they told him not to, & prompting him to pull out of the deal very publicly, which severely impacted Vector’s reputation. It might have had its share of problems anyways, but due to them wanting to get them in the public eye early, they caused their own downfall. Still a badass car that managed to do ~220 which was crazy for the time.
you see i prefer to say it took the bugatti over 20 years to beat the mclaren f1. shows the legendarity better than the 7 years it took them to build the veyron. the f1 is an absolute monster. nothing like it. no idea how it did all that with such low hp(for 240mph), with 3 FUCKING SEATS. and 90s tech.
And F1 also dubbed the "most reliable" supercar Bcs someone drove it 190+ on the autobahn (i believe it's a doctor) fron his house to the workplace, every day and didn't even break down, just a slight trouble that flashes the check engine light😅
Dam for a Car Community a lot of people hating on a company that was pushing boundaries. Car had a physical design and an engine that made the acclaimed hp/tq, even minus the transmission this car could have came to market legit if the same Car Culture, Car enthusiasts & whatever they claim themselves to be weren’t bashing it every step of the way. Shitting on the car for doing the same things the car manufacturers we still like continue to do.
That is why methanol is the most common fuel for engines like what Steve Morris builds. Some people run alcohol, e85, and some race gas, but methanol cools the best and allows smaller radiators for street driving on pump gas where they only make a few psi of boost. A hypercar is certainly not the same as a purpose built drag and drive car. A 5000 hp drag and drive car is purely about function to go fast and then drive to the next track and while they can look nice, they are not wrapped up to look like the devil sixteen with no hardware showing.....more like a semitruck where you can see what actually gets the work done at that level. It isn't easy to hide all that stuff.
If I remember correctly the v16 that they built was two ls motors that were fused together the engine itself would have been promising but at the end of the day the car and engine were both vaporware
The logistics of a 5000 hp street car would be pretty amusing if they did build one. Imagine finding a straight & empty enough road & doing your 300 mph pull, then you immediately run out of gas & are due for a $100k tire change, if you can get it stopped in one piece
I wish this car was real, it doesn't even need to go the insane 350 mph target It just needed to go fast and look good doing it and it would've been good in my book
I used to follow the Devel 16 story for a bit, from my limited knowledge this video right here is the most in depth video on the Devel 16, my only criticisim is that the cars interior wasn't mentioned (it's literally just a C8 Corvette interior)
Hats off to you, sir. I really enjoy watching your videos. They're informative, entertaining, well edited and your commentary ties everything together. It shows you have a passion and a knack for video essay/documentaries. Amazing content. So we'll put together. Thank you.
I hate it when stuff like this happens like the Vectors, i love the look of the body style but it is a shame that only like 12 were made, and their performance didn't quite live up to the hype. However creating something with such extreme performance is very difficult, so of course there will be failures and flops.
Atleast vectors are real right? But the poor management and insufficient money stops them all to build the supercar And the other reason why they stopped is because they were new manufacturer and W8 is 2X the price of countach, while people are preferred that piece of italian box dubbed "legend of 80s"
This car always looked to me like a SL-C. They added some body work, but overall SL-C. Now it makes more sense. An SL-C with a C8 drivetrain makes it fairly easy to build.
May God bless and keep you alive!! The information you create is just excellent. The way you speak and explain is so unique. I truly appreciate the time and work you take to make these videos compared to other youtubers out here. Continue making videos like this. ❤❤💯💯💫
That engine is amazing. But yeah, that's it. They can't build anything else, and no one will make them parts, especially a transmission, withstanding those forces. Great video!
Ya know I never thought about how Top Fuellers etc. actually convert that power into usable tire rotation... The clutch slip/engagement graph you showed made so, so much sense though when you listen to the revs and knowing a rough speed curve and how they pick up.... I figured they would at least have a second speed to knock into up at the big end but nope. Makes you wonder though how effective a torque convertor with lock-up would be in place of a multi pack clutch assembly, right? Is that something that has ever been done? Not like an auto box, just more as a load dampener which could be controlled based on known and measurable friction points and viscosities. Came to hear about the Saudi's overpromising and underdelivering, stayed because you taught me something I didn't even realise I didn't know. Love it.
Even top fuel's 10k HP are still vulnerable and exploding without any expectation And then mf tries half of it and make it driveable to the cars and cofee😂
Emirati Lykan Supersport & Hypersport didn't disappoint for a startup ! (Featured in Fast & Furious) . The gulf countries proved to Richard Hammond that a faster than Porsche 918 Spyder Nissan Patrol SUV is not difficult ! Epic drag racing & drifting tuning community there , not to be underestimated !
The sad part about this for me is that Devel Sixteen actually looks cool, from it's concept car back then, to how it looks now. I fell in love with it as a teenager then, though it has been slowly faded away. Shame it has been no more than just another project that can never reach its promises, would love to see the car on the road though, even if it's not the vision that it was aim for At least I got them in diecast and in gta online xD

If I had the money I would’ve invested 100%. Bugatti, Koenigsegg, Ferrari, Hennessy etc. All had to start somewhere.
Same people who say they love cars hated on this creation.
11:37 i think the rear view mirrors are identical, the shape of the glass seems similar, dang it is just a C8 based kit car
Every upload in this series is excellent. Please keep them coming
I tried telling people 5k hp is not streetable in any way years ago when it showed up. Between heat, it's thirsty engine, the fact it would only be able to carry enough fuel to drive conservatively maybe 90 miles. This wasn't hard to figure out. 😂
Remember, common sense isn't common
The drag n drive guys will tell you why you're wrong
God damn dude, I just love your videos so much. Thanks for posting.
If 'Supercar Blondie' &/or 'MoVlogs' promote something, be sceptical. The _one_ reputable thing from this saga was the Steve Morris engine.
It's always a great refleif to see a video from this guy, seem to always learn something new. I always rembering being obsessed with this car as a kid and I'm glad it's still being tought about
The difference between vector and devel is that vector actually sold a few cars unlike devel
Never even heard of that. They definitely should make it for real, because then it wouldn't just be a competition between Koenigsegg and Bugatti, there'd be a third member of the hyper car party. The body looks like a cross between a Batmobile and a LeMans racer. It just looks absurdly fast.
2:39 that's a proper funny way of describing the obsession with top speed 😅😆
Thing is though, most high performance cars lose a shit load of power from exhaust heat. The Veyron for example, had something like 4000HP, but loses 3000 because of the exhaust, ridiculous...
Wonderful video again fella. Surprised Devel didn't name the car Billet - A throwback to the iconic film, and due to those engine parts being manufactured mostly from those processes.
Remember when the steering wheel looked like a toy??
Bro the production of this vid is amazing, keep it up!
Next video should be on W Motors Lykan Hypersport 😅
A 3.4 million dollar kit car

I’ve had a madmore stressful day, souped I found this to calm my lard ass down thank you my dude always killin it with info
*Babe, wake up! A new 337 Speed video dropped.*
Haha yez!
To be fair to the Vector, the early test cars weren’t ready & were released early with stipulations to deal with that. McEnroe, the famous tennis player, took one of them to show off to his friends & Vector warned him about not pushing it too hard before they could complete final assembly. What’d he do? Completely destroyed it, doing everything they told him not to, & prompting him to pull out of the deal very publicly, which severely impacted Vector’s reputation. It might have had its share of problems anyways, but due to them wanting to get them in the public eye early, they caused their own downfall. Still a badass car that managed to do ~220 which was crazy for the time.
video on time for the Bugatti Tourbillon
You're such a fantastic narrator. Great voice, perfect pacing, and a good script. Getting better with every video too.
you see i prefer to say it took the bugatti over 20 years to beat the mclaren f1. shows the legendarity better than the 7 years it took them to build the veyron. the f1 is an absolute monster. nothing like it. no idea how it did all that with such low hp(for 240mph), with 3 FUCKING SEATS. and 90s tech.
And F1 also dubbed the "most reliable" supercar
Bcs someone drove it 190+ on the autobahn (i believe it's a doctor) fron his house to the workplace, every day and didn't even break down, just a slight trouble that flashes the check engine light😅
@@yoslauda4714 which is even more insane considering the powerplant is a BMW engine hahahaha
@@yoslauda4714 He basically had a bullet train that he owned
Dam for a Car Community a lot of people hating on a company that was pushing boundaries.
Car had a physical design and an engine that made the acclaimed hp/tq, even minus the transmission this car could have came to market legit if the same Car Culture, Car enthusiasts & whatever they claim themselves to be weren’t bashing it every step of the way. Shitting on the car for doing the same things the car manufacturers we still like continue to do.
I’ll honest the top speed and acceleration war is over. Has been for years. I’d say the last 4 years.
The quality of these videos are unmatched!!
dam never been 46 seconds early
An engine that produces that much power also produces a lot of heat. Keeping it cool would be a massive engineering challenge all by itself.
That is why methanol is the most common fuel for engines like what Steve Morris builds. Some people run alcohol, e85, and some race gas, but methanol cools the best and allows smaller radiators for street driving on pump gas where they only make a few psi of boost. A hypercar is certainly not the same as a purpose built drag and drive car. A 5000 hp drag and drive car is purely about function to go fast and then drive to the next track and while they can look nice, they are not wrapped up to look like the devil sixteen with no hardware showing.....more like a semitruck where you can see what actually gets the work done at that level. It isn't easy to hide all that stuff.
And it was basically 2 LS’s put together by the GOAT STEVE MORRIS💀 my 13 year old self had no idea.
A new 337 video came up… today is a good day!
😊Facts, Facts backed up with experience that no one can take away from you 337. Represent ✌🏾
I just love those hypercar explanations...you are a king...amd love those Bugatti's what a masterpiece
If I remember correctly the v16 that they built was two ls motors that were fused together the engine itself would have been promising but at the end of the day the car and engine were both vaporware
The logistics of a 5000 hp street car would be pretty amusing if they did build one. Imagine finding a straight & empty enough road & doing your 300 mph pull, then you immediately run out of gas & are due for a $100k tire change, if you can get it stopped in one piece
It's all made up pipe dreams. No car that has that poor quality and engineering is gonna beat the likes of Bugatti and McLaren.
I wish this car was real, it doesn't even need to go the insane 350 mph target
It just needed to go fast and look good doing it and it would've been good in my book
The torque on that engine is unbelievable
I remember reading that vector had like 600 horses in the late eighties, which was a lot up to the mid-90s.
Man, I love all your videos. Such good quality!
Enjoyed that, nice video.
Your videos are the greatest at explaining
I really enjoy your videos dude.
I been watching and subbed for a lil min now. Just gotta say this easily some of the best car content on the platform.
Wonderful turning and overtaking
I used to follow the Devel 16 story for a bit, from my limited knowledge this video right here is the most in depth video on the Devel 16, my only criticisim is that the cars interior wasn't mentioned (it's literally just a C8 Corvette interior)
Exceptional information as always. Keep up the great work.
Thank SM for allowing this to have any traction of lore.
The car looks like if Ferrari Pagani and Lamborghini all had a baby
Your videos always make my day! Thanks so much for all the hard work!
Hats off to you, sir.
I really enjoy watching your videos. They're informative, entertaining, well edited and your commentary ties everything together. It shows you have a passion and a knack for video essay/documentaries.
Amazing content. So we'll put together.
Thank you.
Had no clue the Legend Steve Morris had hands in the power plant for this project!
Love your channel. Your content is fire. Keep doing what you’re doing. 🔥👍🏽
6:14 that sound is crazy
Man, props for making this understandable for the less knowledgeable car guys. I've learned a lot from your videos. 👏
2:17 Why is everybody always forgetting about the Dauer 962 Le Mans?
Always a good day when explained gets another episode 👌🏻
I hate it when stuff like this happens
like the Vectors, i love the look of the body style but it is a shame that only like 12 were made, and their performance didn't quite live up to the hype.
However creating something with such extreme performance is very difficult, so of course there will be failures and flops.
Atleast vectors are real right? But the poor management and insufficient money stops them all to build the supercar
And the other reason why they stopped is because they were new manufacturer and W8 is 2X the price of countach, while people are preferred that piece of italian box dubbed "legend of 80s"
This car always looked to me like a SL-C. They added some body work, but overall SL-C. Now it makes more sense. An SL-C with a C8 drivetrain makes it fairly easy to build.
May God bless and keep you alive!! The information you create is just excellent. The way you speak and explain is so unique. I truly appreciate the time and work you take to make these videos compared to other youtubers out here. Continue making videos like this. ❤❤💯💯💫
That engine is amazing. But yeah, that's it. They can't build anything else, and no one will make them parts, especially a transmission, withstanding those forces.
Great video!
Ya know I never thought about how Top Fuellers etc. actually convert that power into usable tire rotation... The clutch slip/engagement graph you showed made so, so much sense though when you listen to the revs and knowing a rough speed curve and how they pick up.... I figured they would at least have a second speed to knock into up at the big end but nope. Makes you wonder though how effective a torque convertor with lock-up would be in place of a multi pack clutch assembly, right? Is that something that has ever been done? Not like an auto box, just more as a load dampener which could be controlled based on known and measurable friction points and viscosities.
Came to hear about the Saudi's overpromising and underdelivering, stayed because you taught me something I didn't even realise I didn't know. Love it.
Even top fuel's 10k HP are still vulnerable and exploding without any expectation
And then mf tries half of it and make it driveable to the cars and cofee😂
Boy you are a great story teller. Love your vids. You put so much work into it and they are incredibly professional. Love it keep it up.
The video of the engine on the dyno is still a thing to behold tho
Steve Morris in a 337 video he'll ya best drag and drive motor builder imo
Emirati Lykan Supersport & Hypersport didn't disappoint for a startup ! (Featured in Fast & Furious) . The gulf countries proved to Richard Hammond that a faster than Porsche 918 Spyder Nissan Patrol SUV is not difficult ! Epic drag racing & drifting tuning community there , not to be underestimated !
These videos are awesome
The sad part about this for me is that Devel Sixteen actually looks cool, from it's concept car back then, to how it looks now.
I fell in love with it as a teenager then, though it has been slowly faded away. Shame it has been no more than just another project that can never reach its promises, would love to see the car on the road though, even if it's not the vision that it was aim for
At least I got them in diecast and in gta online xD
This kind of crap happens when marketing decides without asking engineers about it.
