The Leo1 sound is amazing and also a planned part of the design. When you hear Leos coming through the forrest its almost impossible to tell witch direction they come from or how many they are. I spent a year on a Leo1 and the sound it what Im missing.
This was really far out! Reminds me of when I was in Ft. Irwin, where we had M48A2 tanks. Engines were run on test stands w/o any mufflers. Inside the shop, you could feel your chest being pounded with the loud sound!
i did service these engines in my army time back in their good days together with the first Leo2 A4. I can asure you we mech´s loved the sound of the V10 a lot more because no turbo was destracting the exhaust sound and flow ! It has radial superchargers.
I shared it with a buddy that was a cold war Tanker in Korea. My Jr. High Janitor was a Sherman crew man that served under General Patton. I miss old Abe.
It is a pity there aren't any video about the French designed V8 1500 HP using Hyperbar technology. As a former AMX employee, I participated to the trials of that engine that later became the powertrain of the Leclerc. The major issue that was finally solved was the lag, exactly like a conventional turbo charged engine.
Very good video thank you. I'm pretty certain the Continental W670 depicted Was a nice old air cooled radial, or round engine, as the Americans call it... NOT a V12 liquid cooled. Ducted fan cooled modified aircraft engine. I'm not a rivet counter, I just worked on a few of them.👍
pretty similar sort of shape though aren't they... easy to get mixed up. ahem! Though I'd be rather interested to see how such an engine would be shoe horned into an armoured vehicle.
@@annpeerkat2020 Pretty easy for an old bloke like me Ann..I get very confused😃! ..I ought to know.. I've worked on V12 Merlins(Spitfires, etc) Lycoming, & Continental radials ( Stearman, Ag-cat etc.). Best times👍
Sorry! 220hp Continental radials were used in the DUWCs/Landing craft on D day, if you stooge around the dunes on the Normandy coast, there's still a few wrecks there. Also, the Sherman tank had radials, some had GM liquid cooled engines. NOW..before you start taking the Mickey..NO..Im not THAT OLD.
The W670 was in a handful of early light tanks, mounted vertically the same an aircraft due to the sump return. A slightly different variant of the W670 was used in a number of aircraft.
Just a note, the continental wright r-975 was NOT a diesel engine as shown in the video. It was a 9 cylinder radial gasoline engine. There was also a 15 cylinder variant that was used very little.
There is nothing and i mean nothing sexier than a large engine throwing a huge chuck of steel along a road, this video should be X rated i was practically moist when the Leopard 2 burst into life lol
Nee, Leute! So ne Soundanlage gibt´s gar nicht, die den Sound von so einem Biest auch nur annähernd wiedergibt! wer das auch nur ein mal live erlebt hat, der weiß das! 😁
Min 4:16 T34 der Polnischen Armee im WW2 mit der Nr. 102 aus der polnischen Fernsehserie 4 Panzersoldaten und ein Hund. In der Hauptrolle Stanislaf Mikulski. Lief auch in der DDR. Ist in Polen heute noch Kult. Weil, in jeder Folge haben sie alleine den WW2 gewonnen.😁
The only engine that sounds better to me than the Detroit 8V series two-stroke is the Napier Deltic. Nice collection, but the subtitle on the radial Sherman engine is incorrect.
It’s even scarier sitting in a little Ford Jeep in Nam in middle of the nite and you look up and see one coming straight at you. For some reason they turned and started firing just before they got to me. All I had on was my cat eyes. Shook the ground coming at me, Even much more when it started firing.
The V-55 naturally aspirated engine makes 580 hp and 2255 nm of torque. The V-84 engine with a centrifugal supercharger makes 840hp and 3335 nm of torque. And the most powerful variant is the V-92S2F, which is turbocharged and makes 1130hp and 3967 nm of torque.
The Meteor tank engine, is actually a Rolls Royce Merlin, that didn't pass the test to become an aeroengine. They were then downgraded to app. 750 HP, and used amongst other as a tank engine.
the sheridan wasnt light weight with better suspension to improve power to weight and cross country. the lighter weight and suspension was so it could be airdropped by parachute. turns out the armor being so light made the tank so weak, it never caught on and the program was abandoned.
What gets me though is how a lot of the German WW2 tank engines are gasoline instead of diesel doesn't it make sense to use a diesel engine which is way more fuel efficient than gas?
I'm the show director for the Arizona Military Vehicles Collectors Club and I'm looking for anyone who owns a tank engine on a stand that would be interested in coming to my show and running their engines.
Where was the Famous Ford GAA V8? It was the best Tank Engine from the USA in WW2, it should have been featured in this Documentary, it was the best engine that was used in the M$ Sherman and everything heavy in WW2, sure the GM, Crislers, and even the Radial engine were used but the Ford GAA V8 was the best. GM stands for Government Money.....Crysler means Crys alaot
That is mistake. There is no engine V-55 but W-55 (there is no letter V in russian alphabet so also no V-55 engine). BTW , i'm not sure but T72 has different engine.
Allies were at a disadvantage with gasoline engines in which the gas was volatile, Germany had the advantage with the Tiger's with diesel engines and a bigger gun.
That in the Video was clearly a Leopard 2 12-Zyl Powerpack. This engine has 47,8l of displacement. Some sources vary on the last digit (47,6 or 47,7) but that should not really matter. Drove it myself and know that for sure from first hand. Until the newest variant the engine was never really updated. The other (second) MTU Engine was the 10-Zyl from the Leopard 1.
@@eugeneoreilly9356 That is the engine from the Euro-Powerpack. That was not used in Leopard 2, but in Challenger 2E for Example or the tropic Leclerc or the newest in the K2... So the Video states right here!
Seeing a leopard 2 drive by you at 40km\h is really an experience
"Hey babe, come and check this out. You're not going to believe what I just bought. It's sitting right in our driveway!!!"
"hey babe I got us a new Porsche"
Next buy will be a crane I guess. 😆

Avco Lycoming in stratford ct. Made thousands.
As a former Leopard 2A6 tank driver, I approve of this soundclip! But it's even better in real life :) :)
i love the sound it makes. you dont happen to have a spear Leo 2 engine laying around? i want to swap one in to my LandCruiser😜
Wow!!!!👌👌👌
I don't agree with you... You are not a former leopard 2A6 tank driver ... You was the tank itself 👍
I miss the sound the leopards make. One of the few things I miss in the military.
My favourite one is the t55 engine
For some who dont know: The MTU Powerunit is a Engine that can run on every fuel :)
Even rocket fuel?
@@Roboseal2sure. Probably be a nightmare to get it but itll work
Uranium?
Not the ONLY engine that can run on ALMOST Every Fuel.
Multifuel Compression Ignition Engines Do not run well on normal Car Petrol for example.
@@Roboseal2 It depends on what kind of fuel it is. It runs fine on jet fuel and kerosene. :)
That is the most round v12 engine I’ve seen.
Leopard 1 engine sound is just something else, it vibrates your entire body when you stand next to it
That's interesting, did you get to hear it in person?
Yep 😀
@@MikadoRC oh wow that's awesome!

Always great to hear those massive engines roaring to life! Absolutely cool 😎 👍👍
Big block V12s are the most satisfying engines ever

@6:19 wrong text
The continental V12 is actually a radial.
Got to ride a couple. Best job I ever had.
That Maybach is just perfection 🤷🏻♂️
Agree :)
My dad used to have an old German patrol boat with a Maybach HL230 Engine
"They will hear our Detroit motors long before we get into that town...."
Wrong description at 2:00, that's a radial 9 cylinder Continental R-975 (15,9L, 450hp)
Maybach for ever... 🖤
MTU the best beast
Just a note, the continental wright r-975 was NOT a diesel engine as shown in the video. It was a 9 cylinder radial gasoline engine. There was also a 15 cylinder variant that was used very little.
That Leyland L60 sounds nice 👌🏾
@neoman7792 i like it too :)
Looking forward to seeing the ev battery version of these, i can't imagine in a frozen war zone an ev would work too well
ICE engines Rule 💪
There is nothing and i mean nothing sexier than a large engine throwing a huge chuck of steel along a road, this video should be X rated i was practically moist when the Leopard 2 burst into life lol
Did i read that correctly when they stated that the radial engine used in Shermans was a V-12.
Maybach HL230 is my favorite!
AV 1790 was not aV 12. It was a round engine (radial)
While there was radial tank engines the AV1790 wasn't one of them.
Plus that the number of cylinders in a radial configuration is never even. It would never be a 12 cylinder
That Meteor is goated
27 litre, V12 masterpiece of German engineering.
that is the wrong engine.
Is that drifting tank
Can’t wait to see the ev tank
Nee, Leute!
So ne Soundanlage gibt´s gar nicht, die den Sound von so einem Biest auch nur
annähernd wiedergibt!
wer das auch nur ein mal live erlebt hat, der weiß das! 😁
3:00 Pretty sure that's a rotary engine & not a V
Too bad you couldn't get the AGT1500 that's used on the current M1 tank - it's a gas turbine!
I like those MTU diesels.

1:45 what is a 'naturally aspirated engine with RETRACTED UNITS" just askin....
0:36 This engine is opening fire!
yeah it Spit fires 😉
yes it is a masterpiece :)
Only in Russia, a 38 l V12 makes a meager 580 Hp.
These V12 have a beautiful sound. The Leopard sounds as badass as it looks.
More modern Russian Diesel engines have more than 1,000 horsepower, like on the T-90 and T-72B3.
The V-55 naturally aspirated engine makes 580 hp and 2255 nm of torque.
The V-84 engine with a centrifugal supercharger makes 840hp and 3335 nm of torque.
And the most powerful variant is the V-92S2F, which is turbocharged and makes 1130hp and 3967 nm of torque.
Where can a person go to hear/see all these tanks up close? In the USA
Outstanding video!
Thank you!

Suggest you read this Ole; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolls-Royce_Meteor
errr no the metoer is literally amerlin with no supercharger, tho that would have been good in africa
@@Wally_Wombat689 turbo diesel is much better. petrol had their place in planes though, as they are significantly lighter
Tank engines are, or were, refered to as power packs.
I'm famous now!! That first clip is me! That engine is now in a hotrod.
You messed up on the Continental. You showed the right engine but the wrong description.
Is this an M60 tank engine?
What no multibank?
Seems the 1500hp Leopard engine is at a whole new level over the rest of these.
When was a radial engine ever used in a tank?
The Sherman for one.
Leopard 2 is the dad of all tanks
2:54 "V12" *clearly shows a radial engine*
Wait, they got an L60 to...run???
Needs fitting in a Prius or a Tesla

Sweetness, Tanks a Lot😂
The meteor engine was a Merlin engine not supercharged.
As you can see, and hear, the 2nd and 3rd engines were running in stealth mode.
The Wright R-975 is a radial 9 cylinder not a V12
many mistakes... not correct descriptions... but sound good😊
3:02 its a radial!
The Australian armoured artillery museum has a m4a1 Sherman tank and I'm hoping to put in a Detroit piston v12 900hp motor and 8.speed truck gear box

precious diesel fuel was spared for the U-Boats during WW2, german tanks had to stay with petrol/gasoline engines.
