The TVR speed 12 deserved a video of its own , being the pinnacle of TVR madness it was ridiculously powerful and had an outrageous aesthetic, (Especially without the rear wing) a pure beast, and my favorite by far.
Have seen a Matra F1 V12 run at a test day in the UK, it was ear bleedingly loud! They also used that engine in a sports prototype GT car. My favourite here though is the Detroit 12v149, what an engine!
04:10... This is now one of my favourite V12 sounds of all time. And the Speed 12 has been among my absolute favourite cars ever since Gran Turismo 1 :)
Ah, you know, many will think I am crazy because I prefer a diesel over these incredible racing petrol engines. Well, I don't prefer it, it is only fascinating me very much.
I bought a “twin 6 “ like the first engine in the video, a couple of years ago , when I saw it on market place. I honestly never heard of one before and I’m a dyed in the wool car guy. It is so rare of a motor that I had to have it. Drove around 200 miles to get it. I have never tried to start it because of time availability so it was good to hear one running. Thanks for the video from an old man in Oklahoma
It's awsome that the Toyota V12 exists.That Nissan VRT35 truly sounds magnificent.The TVR has almost a mythical states and is something of truly great British automotive history.I can only Imagine how awesome it would be to cruise down the streets or racetrack in on of these vehicles
I know Johnny Parsons (Indy car legend) son, and he was telling me his Dad built a V12 2 stroke (!) Indy car engine, and actually built an entire car based around the engine. Apperently USAC deemed it illegal just as it was getting ready for practice/qualifying for the month of May back in late 60's or early 70s. He says the engine is out there somewhere, in a museum perhaps? It would be great to find it and learn a few things about it
I was in the stand opposite the Audi pits when it did that. Seeing them come out of tight corner was something I'll never forget. One year they were overtaking a few petrol LMP1s up the start-finish straight, fast cars, but the pugs just walked by them. As for the Corvettes, not particularly quick, but usually won due to reliability and just plodding on relentlessly. Before the revised pit exit they have now, I saw a 911 coming up the straight towards the bridge, a Panoz roadster left the pit lane and was round the bend and under the bridge before the 911 was braking for the corner. That was about 99, that was when I decided I was an LMP kinda guy. Audi came along and won everything until the pugs saved us from boredom, Halcyon days.
*Falconer 9.8L V12* _•Displacement: 600ci (9.8L)_ _•Configuration: 90° V12_ _•Horsepower: 686hp_ _•Torque: 600lb-ft_ This engine was used in a concept Corvette called the ZR-12 back in the 90s as a direct response to the Dodge Viper. Unfortunately it never got produced because it was gonna be ridiculously expensive
Don't worry about including the 180 degree V12. Because dynamically they're about the same. That's also why we see such a wide variety of bank angles with 12 cylinder engines. As British Daimler branded their version of the Jaguar XJ12 the "double six" no doubt because it's a more correct description in many ways.
The 12v-149 blocks and cranks were bolted together as I have built over 20 of them and they were a good engine for their time. Most of them in the mining trucks got close to 18,000 hours before overhaul.
That's not a bullet hole it's just a hole in the body for old school brakes, handbrake I think. Lever was taken out in later model years but they didn't spend the money to retool their factories so the hole stayed in the body. I've seen a few levers like that in 1950s> trucks, so I'm kinda guessing at what it rlly is... but I know for a fact it's not a bullet hole lol
Don't forget, even a naturally aspirated two stroke Detroit needs the blower to even run. Air is blown through perforations in the cylinder when the piston uncovers them at bottom dead center.
3:03 RPM comes up at about 4,300 which I suspect is a bit low, even for a Diesel. The Audi R15s were revving at about 5,500. I may have made a mistake and the basic equation I used is a rough ballpark figure at best.
Peugeot Engine was also more economical than Audi engines ! And this little advantage was a huge one on 24hours runs ! And also, +VisioRacer THANK YOU, really, THANK YOU for sharing and spreading the mighty roar of the Matra Aerospace V12 MS11 !!
That flat head Lincoln v12 I am very familiar with. The shop I worked at we rebuilt one we did replace the hydraulic lifters with solids. We had an engine stand made so we could run it before we delivered it to the customer it was a very smooth very cool sound.
Is that Ford Twin Six the one the used by the rust colored Deuce Coupe in Mad Max Fury Road (that ran lead car when the War Rig first left the Citadel)?
For the next video you should include Auburn and Packard V-12's. They were first used in cars and later in fire trucks. My favorite is Hall-Scott, used briefly in Freightliner trucks
Thanks for this video, very interesting as always! Just a detail though: I think the onboard Peugeot 908 video you used might feature the post-2011, V8-powered version instead of the V12 one. Great job otherwise!
The V-6 that it shared parts with was a very good truck engine in it's time. Knew one fellow that wouldn't have any other motor in his trucks. That is until GMC developed a diesel version of this motor. He then fell in love with it. They were a good solid motor.
The Detroit 149 did not have welded blocks. They were bolted together. The crankshafts were one-piece. I used to work in the plant where they were built, in Indianapolis in the early '80's. The blocks came in either V6 or V8 castings, then were bolted together to make V12's or V16's early on. The V8 and V20 came later on. I always wished they would have made a V14 by bolting together a V6 and V8 block.
V12's sound like inline-6's but eat twice the gas and are way heavier than any V8~ The Mercedes flat-12 that you talk about is indeed nomenclatured properly. A 180 degree V12 is also correctly called a flat-12, but in this particular instance it is NOT a "boxer", since the pistons opposite to each other share one crankshaft throw and move WITH each other, left and right. In a "boxer" horizontally opposed engine, each piston has its own throw, and the pistons are always either moving towards each other or away from each other. The flat-12 is the only non-boxer horizontally opposed engine, since it alone can cancel the first order vibrations.
Excuse me Visio, in the Detroit Diesel 12V-149 Two-stroke you said It was NA, but in the video I think that It has one turbo in the left of the pipe and other in the right (sorry but my english is awful). Greets from Argentina! 👌
Yes, well, there was a NA variant and there was a turbocharged variant. The specs are valid for the NA, but as you can see the one in the video had four turbochargers.
About the "flat" V-12, Hey! It's just a 180 degree V-12. That counts. Right? One thing also caught my attention, that Detroit Diesel was in fact turbocharged and it, unlike a lot of the engines shown, fired right up. That 11.5 liter monster at the beginning put out maybe a bit more hp and torque maybe less, I don't remember what the numbers were you quoted, than my parents 1959 Mercury with it's 383 variant of the 430 Lincoln engine, rated at 220hp at 4400 rpm and 480 lb/ft of torque at 2200. I really thought I was reving the heck out of it until I put in a tach and found it shifting at 4000 rpm. 55 in first, 95 in second, I don't know in 3rd... LOL Kids. I'm lucky to have survived. With 2.73 gears you don't need an overdrive. 2,000 at 65 mph. Ok, I went back and looked and it wasn't as close as I thought. Sorry. Actually it puts out about the same power and torque as my 5.9 liter Cummins.
Ive read that Rolls Royce is resuming production of the Merlin engine. Both Smartcar and Tesla have shown interest. Thats my story and im sticking to it.
You missed the Torque Engineering V12. 859 cubic inches, 1100+ HP. Used in offshore power boats. Built by a small company in Indiana. Sold 12 of them, then went bankrupt.
No need for apologies on the flat 12. While a boxer flat 12 is possible, every one that I know of is just a V12 with a 180 degree vee angle. Same crankshaft and everything. So the flat 12 listed, is in fact, a V12. Even the Porsche 917, who's V12 engine was an evolution of Porsche's earlier 8 cylinder boxer engine, had a traditional V12 crankshaft fitted.
I wish we could buy that Peugeot V12 engine in these days.It's obsolete in the LMP1 category, so no secret would be revealed in the case of production selling.
8:24 I have a few SERIOUS questions 1 Can this engine have an aspiration? 2 Where can I get one of these engines? 3 Does the header company Hooker have any header manifolds for this engine? 4 Can I fit this in my S10? 5 Am I a dumbass for asking these questions? *ANSWER THEM ALL*
Haven`t included the Jaguar racing V12s.One of the best V12 engines ever made.Tom Walkinshaw racing V12 XJS Jaguars were beating the arse of top BMws and Mercedes in virtually every race in Aussie.
The Mercedes M291 is a flat 12 but that means it could either be a boxer like Porsche used or a 180degree V as used by Ferrari. Even though Ferrari called the 365 and 512 BerlinettaBoxer they never built a true boxer engine.
It was actually more powerful as an intended road car because endurance racing regulations meant engine intake restrictors. Why Peter Wheeler just didn’t fit traction control to tame the car a bit, I’ll never understand. But he was sensible compared to the Russian dickhead that bought TVR.
you need to include a volvo b20 Engine in a video its the most reliable and easy maintained Engines i ever had in a car also easy to tune and get more hp from
a flat 12 cylinder is really just a v12 with 180 degree cylinder angle, you don't need to apologise, if the crankcase was different as well then it would've been a boxer 12 ;)
Visio Racer, The blowers on all V series Detroit Diesels are Not recessed in the block, they sit in the V between the banks, and even if they have Turbo chargers they still have blowers because they are what scavenges the cylinders, in the video the piping coming off the Turbo's are going into the top of the blower.
+VisioRacer , after the MS11, take a look at the Rolls-Royce Meteor V12 tank engine ! You will thanks me later ! (Also, russian turbo-diesel V12 tank engines sound mad too !)
Ya made a mistake the gmc v12 is not a welded v6 at all it was a single casting and crank people have made this mastake for years there was a welded together chevy v6 but the gmc v12 is not welded
The TVR speed 12 deserved a video of its own , being the pinnacle of TVR madness it was ridiculously powerful and had an outrageous aesthetic,
(Especially without the rear wing) a pure beast, and my favorite by far.
without doubt, the greatest hypercar that will ever have been created.
And in keeping with TVR tradition, being too insane was its only reason for not being made into more units. Never change, TVR...
TVR has been dead for a decade.
Awesome car, but sounds terrible
Gustav Meyrink They still exist, just not quite making cars yet.
I think the Nissan has the classic ripping-canvas sound of a racing V12.
Have seen a Matra F1 V12 run at a test day in the UK, it was ear bleedingly loud! They also used that engine in a sports prototype GT car.
My favourite here though is the Detroit 12v149, what an engine!
the nissan sounds so fantastic
Yes...you are quite right! Reminded me of what F1 used to sound like back in the glory days...
🆗
@@rod928s4 Sounds excactly like old school F1 :)
Sounds like Ferrari
It's even a 70 degree v12. Which is extremely odd. Most v12's are 60, 120, or 180 degrees.
Good that you added the Merc M291. Even though it wasn't a V12, it was the best sounding of them all. Long live the cross plane crank.
04:10... This is now one of my favourite V12 sounds of all time.
And the Speed 12 has been among my absolute favourite cars ever since Gran Turismo 1 :)
You might think I am retarded, but from this list the Tatra T930E fascinates me the most! I'd love to drive that T813.
I love that Lincoln Zephyr Flathead, sounds so good!!!!
you should do insane American-made engines, we have a good bit, like the big-block GMC v6's, buicks 455 Big Block V8, and chevy's recently made 583 V8
Ah, you know, many will think I am crazy because I prefer a diesel over these incredible racing petrol engines. Well, I don't prefer it, it is only fascinating me very much.
VisioRacer i like ur vids bro
Nah, I'm pretty intrigued by how they made the engine run on both diesel AND gasoline.
I bought a “twin 6 “ like the first engine in the video, a couple of years ago , when I saw it on market place. I honestly never heard of one before and I’m a dyed in the wool car guy. It is so rare of a motor that I had to have it. Drove around 200 miles to get it. I have never tried to start it because of time availability so it was good to hear one running.

3:33 just overtook a Corvette and a Ferrari with my Peugeot Bruh
It's an LMP1, of course it passes the cars in lower categories....
humor ?! lmao

Lots of interesting machinery on this video.
Thanks for sharing
Man, that TVR speed 12.
Wish they continue the production.
Fantastic Engine Series..THANK YOU so much for all these Awesome Engine Videos !!!!!
+VisioRacer There is a small mistake. The onboard cam of the 908 is the 2011 version of the car with a 3.7 V8 HDI Twin Turbo engine.
I didn't realise that... eh. Thanks, though.
I knew it didn't sound right
*Falconer 9.8L V12*
_•Displacement: 600ci (9.8L)_
_•Configuration: 90° V12_
_•Horsepower: 686hp_

This engine was used in a concept Corvette called the ZR-12 back in the 90s as a direct response to the Dodge Viper. Unfortunately it never got produced because it was gonna be ridiculously expensive
The audi and peogeot V12 engines were fantastic to watch :)
Cool man! Thanks for the ear candy. That Nissan nearly melted my brain! What a surreal sound, damn!
That V12 on the Lincoln, I love it!
Me too. It sounded surprisingly gutsy when they went through the gears. But the sound was faster than the scenery was blurring.
Don't worry about including the 180 degree V12. Because dynamically they're about the same. That's also why we see such a wide variety of bank angles with 12 cylinder engines.

0:58 those bullet holes tho
A mystery
Danny: what else did i have to do?
I just sprayed him and thats the end of it
That's not a bullet hole it's just a hole in the body for old school brakes, handbrake I think.

Stone strikes lmao
Bb gun
The Nissan GRX-3 V12, and the R382 race car that used it, really should've been featured here.
What a machine! Just awesome!
Don't forget, even a naturally aspirated two stroke Detroit needs the blower to even run. Air is blown through perforations in the cylinder when the piston uncovers them at bottom dead center.

Awesome videos! Keep it up!
7:05 - well a flat engine is a vee - just a 180degree vee :p
7:44 - dead right about the sound!!!!!!!
Yes. It's about the design of the crankshaft. In a true boxer design the pistons move counterwise in opposing sides. In a flat/180° V12 they don't.
That flat head Lincoln v12 I am very familiar with. The shop I worked at we rebuilt one we did replace the hydraulic lifters with solids. We had an engine stand made so we could run it before we delivered it to the customer it was a very smooth very cool sound.
That matra is a beast 😍
A flat twelve is essentially a 180° v-12 and they do sound pretty damn good.
Is that Ford Twin Six the one the used by the rust colored Deuce Coupe in Mad Max Fury Road (that ran lead car when the War Rig first left the Citadel)?
For the road going versions, I suppose mpg is really gpm as in how may gallons of fuel per mile.
just a minor correction. The Detroit Diesel 149 series was not used in on road applications, that was handled by the 53, 71, 60 and 92 series engines.
Steve Ross i don't think it could physically run on the roads due to fuel mileage
That 12V-149 Detroit sounds as wicked as the Matra!
For the next video you should include Auburn and Packard V-12's. They were first used in cars and later in fire trucks. My favorite is Hall-Scott, used briefly in Freightliner trucks
Thanks for this video, very interesting as always! Just a detail though: I think the onboard Peugeot 908 video you used might feature the post-2011, V8-powered version instead of the V12 one. Great job otherwise!
Aye, you are right. I overlooked that.
That Totoyota 1GZ-FE, rare to see that outside of japan but that second clip of it is in the Netherlands, wow!
That GMC V12 at the beginning sounds great.
The V-6 that it shared parts with was a very good truck engine in it's time. Knew one fellow that wouldn't have any other motor in his trucks. That is until GMC developed a diesel version of this motor. He then fell in love with it. They were a good solid motor.
I wondered if there would be a Lincoln flathead V12 in there. There was also a Pierce Arrow in that same period.
Peugeot's FAPmobile :D
Lmao
Another good job Visio.By the way, did you change your alu with sneakers for winter boots in your Subaru GT :D ??????
Yes, yes I did. And it's BRZ, not GT -_- Or Toyobaru, whatever :D
Good job man :) ,but Trolls will always be with you :D
Hah, I see
2:54 OMG IT HAS BEEN AWHILE SINCE I HAVE HEARD THE DIESEL RACECAR!!!! nice job, bro. :-D
The Detroit 149 did not have welded blocks. They were bolted together. The crankshafts were one-piece. I used to work in the plant where they were built, in Indianapolis in the early '80's.

Thanks for correction
4:49 Now that was a proper beast os a machine!!!
Rotary compilation? Pleeeaaasssseeeee +visioracer
I think the Merc seen at 7:43 was actually a C9 or C11; which used a Turbo V8 instead of the V12; I may be wrong though.
I don't think so. The sound would be very very different.
I guess you may be right.. Anyway, great video!
Thanks
I had 2 Nt7 1271-DEtroit v-12 turbodiesels in my boat.(a 62'Pacemaker.)A very good,reliable powersource.
:)
was that Mercedes flat 12 really a Merc engine or an Ilmor engine?
I saw v12, so here am! 😍
Good video 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
missed one the Seagrave(Pierce Arrow) v12 fire engine /boat motor found in a few street rods
what song name in the end of the video
Én Nguyễn
Yes, I too would like to know.
I love you videos!
Thank you :)
V12's sound like inline-6's but eat twice the gas and are way heavier than any V8~
The Mercedes flat-12 that you talk about is indeed nomenclatured properly. A 180 degree V12 is also correctly called a flat-12, but in this particular instance it is NOT a "boxer", since the pistons opposite to each other share one crankshaft throw and move WITH each other, left and right. In a "boxer" horizontally opposed engine, each piston has its own throw, and the pistons are always either moving towards each other or away from each other. The flat-12 is the only non-boxer horizontally opposed engine, since it alone can cancel the first order vibrations.
That TVR is a beast, I love it....
Excuse me Visio, in the Detroit Diesel 12V-149 Two-stroke you said It was NA, but in the video I think that It has one turbo in the left of the pipe and other in the right (sorry but my english is awful). Greets from Argentina! 👌
Nicolas Gallo yes it seems do be quad turbo (2 for each bank). Your English is great my friend
Yes, well, there was a NA variant and there was a turbocharged variant. The specs are valid for the NA, but as you can see the one in the video had four turbochargers.

I really thought I was reving the heck out of it until I put in a tach and found it shifting at 4000 rpm. 55 in first, 95 in second, I don't know in 3rd... LOL Kids. I'm lucky to have survived. With 2.73 gears you don't need an overdrive. 2,000 at 65 mph. Ok, I went back and looked and it wasn't as close as I thought. Sorry. Actually it puts out about the same power and torque as my 5.9 liter Cummins.
I would really love to have one of those Tatra trucks.
The c291 just gave me chills...
Now I'm curious. Which car was it, that had a Diesel engine at leMans back in 1949. Sounds really interesting
Delettrez Diesel
VisioRacer you could make a video about Diesel in Motor Sport. i would like that
Hm
The GM Twin-Six is also called the GM Balaur engine.
Was expecting to see the LS V12 but nice video anyways
lol wtf that's an original engine man
Hhahah nice try..
Ive read that Rolls Royce is resuming production of the Merlin engine. Both Smartcar and Tesla have shown interest. Thats my story and im sticking to it.
You missed the Torque Engineering V12. 859 cubic inches, 1100+ HP. Used in offshore power boats. Built by a small company in Indiana. Sold 12 of them, then went bankrupt.

Shout out to Miles Davis playing in the background at 8:44
The detroit diesel are not N/A, is a quad turbo v12
I wish we could buy that Peugeot V12 engine in these days.It's obsolete in the LMP1 category, so no secret would be revealed in the case of production selling.
Would be cool to see you do a video on single cylinder engines.
I could do such a video
from which manufacturer the 1GZ came?
I mentioned that in the video, like all the others
4:07 HOLY SHIT THE SOUND, MY EARS ARE CUMMING IT'S AMAZING AAAHHHHH
8:31 Music to my ears.
8:24 I have a few SERIOUS questions
1 Can this engine have an aspiration?
2 Where can I get one of these engines?
3 Does the header company Hooker have any header manifolds for this engine?
4 Can I fit this in my S10?
5 Am I a dumbass for asking these questions?
*ANSWER THEM ALL*
thanks for the flat 12
I want this as my ringtone.
Haven`t included the Jaguar racing V12s.One of the best V12 engines ever made.Tom Walkinshaw racing V12 XJS Jaguars were beating the arse of top BMws and Mercedes in virtually every race in Aussie.
*_I never knew Toyota made a V12_*
I want a 1jz V12 asap
saying 12 mad V12s just rolls off the tongue
Flat 12 is technically a v12so people say.also there is a serious monster called the porsche 917 twin turbo flat 12.
TVR, Is that the car in the movie swordfish with John Travolta?
The Mercedes M291 is a flat 12 but that means it could either be a boxer like Porsche used or a 180degree V as used by Ferrari.
Even though Ferrari called the 365 and 512 BerlinettaBoxer they never built a true boxer engine.
VRT 35 is an amazing car ... reminds me with burnout paradise ultimate box !
listen dudes ! @ 3:50
As far as I know the Speed Twelve was intended as a race car, but before it was able to race the class regulations changed and it had no place to go.
Both a race and road car
It was actually more powerful as an intended road car because endurance racing regulations meant engine intake restrictors. Why Peter Wheeler just didn’t fit traction control to tame the car a bit, I’ll never understand. But he was sensible compared to the Russian dickhead that bought TVR.
you need to include a volvo b20 Engine in a video its the most reliable and easy maintained Engines i ever had in a car also easy to tune and get more hp from
there is another air cooled V12 diesel made by Deutz, very much like Tatra V12.
a flat 12 cylinder is really just a v12 with 180 degree cylinder angle, you don't need to apologise, if the crankcase was different as well then it would've been a boxer 12 ;)
Yes, that's actually true.
Now I want to cram a Lincoln V12 into a Model A Sedan
Toyota and the nissian were beautiful
Visio Racer, The blowers on all V series Detroit Diesels are Not recessed in the block, they sit in the V between the banks, and even if they have Turbo chargers they still have blowers because they are what scavenges the cylinders, in the video the piping coming off the Turbo's are going into the top of the blower.
+VisioRacer , after the MS11, take a look at the Rolls-Royce Meteor V12 tank engine ! You will thanks me later ! (Also, russian turbo-diesel V12 tank engines sound mad too !)
TATRA !!! to je slovensko-český stroj :3
You didn't think the XJR9 V12 that won LeMans was worth a mention? It was even based on the stock road car engine.
Do love those 2 stroke V12 diesel's. Could restart a dead planet with those things.
Why do rocky mountain butterflies always have to sound the best...
NA-normally aspirated does not mean it has a supercharger fitted...
Normally aspirated means the engine sucks it's air by itself.
Nice turbos on the Detroit.....
The 5.5 V12 TDI from Audi sounds absolutely dreadfyl, im glad the fad of the diesel is getting over
Ya made a mistake the gmc v12 is not a welded v6 at all it was a single casting and crank people have made this mastake for years there was a welded together chevy v6 but the gmc v12 is not welded
WOW I love V-12 engines
