It's not so much that the downsides don't matter, it's that they aren't even downsides. This is a vehicle for which being excessively expensive to buy, expensive to maintain, expensive to drive, and insanely complicated is an advantage. It will make the vehicle more desirable. It is an exceptionally large peacock tail, in vehicle form.
If I buy a rusted car with a dying engine for huge money and repair holes on chassis one by one when a place cracked. And repair engine only cylinder by cylinder so that it become expensive to maintain. Does it becomes a peacock tail?
It was nearly impossible to get insurance to drive the Veyron or Konegg. Nobody will insure this for the road.

Hi, i have done my calculi, and i have concluded that each bank (which, as you said, is kind of a straight8 cross-X plane, with all the pistons evenly distributed every 45 degrees) has a primary rocking couple. Option 1: If they didn't phase the V8 called A and the one called B by 45 degress and they actually mirrored it, they could have really balanced EVERYTHING, primary and secondary forces and moments. But if they did this, 2 pistons would have fired at the same time. Maybe the problem is the torsional stress on the crankshaft, so they opted to balance things by adding weight to the cranskshaft in order to have a smoother firing. Option 2: Another option would have been two inline8 banks with a 90 degrees angle (i suppose they didn't want to have a 45 degrees like the cadillac, because of its shape), but in that case, they would have had the same problem of 2 pistons firing at the same time. In this last case, the only difference with option 1 is that we are switching piston 3 with piston 4, so it's the same. Is it correct?

In 1938, Cadillac completely re-engineered the V-16, brought out a flathead design on a 135-degree plan. It was nearly an opposed 16, gave much lower silhouette, put most accessories on top. Two downright carbs helped give 185 hp. Only 514 L-head V16s were sold. A V-12 wasn't made during this time, and Cadillac dropped this 431-inch V-16 completely by end of 1940.

@@EngineeringExplained74.4 lb per liter is extremely solid. i’m curious to know as well if it indeed is naturally aspirated. you always do a phenomenal job breaking down the details.
@@EngineeringExplained hey mate cheers, why haven't you done the Chiron 300+ video calculations huh? I wonder why, well, I made them myself 😁 and is a complete lie I hope you do a video on it, if you really don't care about views... "The Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ did indeed achieve a record speed of 304.773 mph (490.484 km/h) during a test run in 2019. However, the customer version of the Chiron Super Sport 300+ is electronically simited to a top speed of 273 mph (440 km/h) for safety and regulatory reasons. To determine if the Chiron Super Sport 300+ could theoretically achieve 305 mph (493 km/h) without the electronic limiter, we need to consider the factors involved: 1. Aerodynamic Drag: Drag Coefficient: Approximately 0.35 Frontal Area: -2.4 square meters Alr Density: 1.225 kilograms per cubic meter 2. Power Output: 1,577 horsepower (1,176 kilowatts) Calculations: Using the drag equation: Power of Drag = Air Density x Drag Coefficient × Frontal Area × Velocity For 306 mph (138.62 meters per second): Power of Drag = x 1.225 x 0.36 x 2.4 x (136.62) Power of Drag 674, 198 Watts Power of Drag 2,078 kiloWatts Comparison with Available Power: The Chiron Super Sport 300+ engine produces 1,176 kilowatts. For achieving 306 mph, the car would need approximately 2,078 kilowatts, which is significantly higher than the engine's output Conclusion: The calculations show that while the Chiron Super Sport 300+ can achieve very high speeds, reaching 306 mph (493 km/h) would require more power than the car's engine can provide. This Implies that without additional power and overcoming other practical limitations (such as tire Integrity and safety concerns), the Chiron Super Sport 300+ cannot achieve 306 mph. Therefore, the 304.775 mph achieved during the test run was a significant accompitshment under highly controlled conditions, but pushing beyond this to 306 mph is not feasible with the current power and design constraints of the vehicle."
I can imagine trade schools and university engineering courses seriously using your videos in their curriculum. I'm an armchair mechanic myself, but it's information like this that allows me to understand and geek out even more about this stuff. I'd love more information about motorcycle and industrial power plants as well. Armed with a whiteboard, nothing can stop you! Also, have you thought about a collaboration with Mark Rober?
When Mate Rimac said they were developing something unique and new I was hoping for a star engine 😅. Laid on its side, with like 9 cylinders at least, turbocharged and electrical valves
I am studying chemical engineering, and I absolutely love your videos man! If you don't mind, I would be glad to see some more chemistry related stuff :D I really enjoyed your videos about the Li-ion batteries.
@@Slizzo82 They haven't been represented anywhere I or most other car enthusiasts care about until recently. No Cosworth in Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Porsche, et al. Whatever niche area you're referring to no one cares about.
In all the years I’ve seen your videos this one is really really well made. Your knowledge and ability to explain is incredible. Greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰
Personally, I think it would be cool to see something like this be able to have distinctive modes. A 100% full blown push the brain into the back of your skull mode and a mode that could get you 40 mpg. Imagine having a green and a red key for your Bugatti so you could also get 400 miles to the tank if you were so inclined... just because you could.
the enthusiast are gonna absolutely LOVE this thing. all the benefits of that raw, n/a predictability. with the linear power of a 16 cylinder engine only Bugatti can provide. mixed with the instant torque of the Rimac hybrid powertrain. and a sound so magnificent the Gods themselves will weep. it's gonna be marvelous. i wonder what the fuel economy will be like....
@EngineeringExplained :: Not sure if anyone pointed this out already, but as a native speaker of Serbo-Croatian, I can tell you two things - 1) Mate Rimac is pronounced as Muh-teh Ree-mah-ts ; 2) The phrasing Mate used in conjunction with the emoticon may actually translate to something along the lines of "oh, that's rich...", as that specific phrasing is very often used sarcastically, much more so than its direct meaning as a praise. Just thought I'd throw a spanner in the works :D
Thanks! I included the original comment because translations often aren't directly accurate, so appreciate you chiming in! Were you to guess, does the language sound affirmative or more like "no way"? Because I think even sarcastically you might say "oh wow now THAT would be cool ;)" in a way that's like hey please don't spill all the details just yet.
@@EngineeringExplained I added a separate comment, but in most cases it translates to something like a playful "nice try, although you're wrong". BTW your numbers were very conservative. 1000+1000 is much too low. They'll probably push for 2x electric 750hp each, plus 1500 combustion. They have to make a crazier car than Koenigsegg's ~2300 HP.
@@EngineeringExplained I had posted a follow-up, but it contained a link to another comment on Facebook, which might be why TH-cam mods (or even you) deleted it. Anyway, the gist of it was that Mate Rimac seems to be very stingy with responding to comments on his posts, and the response I had linked was one confirming the engine is N/A with a simple "Yep." to one of the commenters in an earlier post Rimac had made. The only other direct response he gave to commenters about any of this was along the lines of "all shall be revealed in due time". This all leads me to believe that the commenter you pointed out (Heinz Schenk) was onto something, and the snarky sarcastic handwave was probably a misdirection attempt. I can't be sure about the electric engine(s) power figure(s), but I do think you're just about correct; something tells me Bugatti-Rimac didn't go through the trouble of designing such an elaborate ICE powertrain just to have it play second fiddle to the electric subsystem - I doubt they'd want it overshadowed by the electric motors. @randomnik70 :: I doubt Jason overestimated the engine power, given how simple the intake manifolds and the valvetrain look; to get much more efficiency without traditional forced induction, they'd have to have an elaborate variable valve timing and duration system with some huge valves/ports and also probably rammed air (scooped from the front and inducted into the manifolds), as what Jason proposes is already pushing it in terms of volumetric efficiency.
THANK YOU for another high-quality, old-style, whiteboard video instead of a not-so-well-sounding unmounted vlog :D (the explanations are crystal-clear, great work)
I don’t think most will understand this level of explanation and ability to switch this level of thought process between each matrix is just mind bending.
Man, time and time again you prove yourself to be one of the best channels on TH-cam. Having access to information like this is one of the few ways the internet contributes positively to the world, in my opinion.
@joe13c00l2 with engines that use pistons, there is a lot of reciprocating mass and with the omega 1 it spins in one direction, making it a more efficient motor. Thus more power for the same amount of work.
One of my all-time favorite engineers! It takes real genius to be able to digest the computation and physics of engineering, and turn it into something genuinely enthusiastic. Well done, Jason!
Im Glad Mr Rimac isn't going full electric but instead following Bugattis tradition by making huge powerful combustion engines and then combining them with the advantages of electric engines to make the ultimate car :D
Bugatti is the internal combustion engine champion i hope they keep this going and do a W20, and W30 and beyond like those rich guy cars from the 20s and 30s 😂
I can confirm from my friend who works at Bugatti it’s a 1000hp na motor with 1000hp duel electric hub motors at each front wheel. I got to see a video of the first start up at cossworths engine Dyno over a year ago
You can give so much more knowledge using a whiteboard and a few pictures - than (maybe) all of the animated videos here on YT! Love your channel, but this video is absolut outstanding. Thank you so much! Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹!
Right off the bat, it would be significantly more efficient to simply build a very large V8, second it would be much easier to make a V16 with a crankshaft on 2 axis that operates as a pair of V8 firing simultaneously instead of the 4 axis crankshaft with the 45 degree firing order due to complexity of making the crank and the increase in the chance that there could be flaxs that make the crank throws even a few degrees imperfect on one plane and the fact that there is no power advantage to making the engine in this oberly complex way compared to a large V8 or 90 degree double V8 of the same displacement, this is the same reason why manufacturers refuse to give us large cross plane I4s that would give is better balance, beautiful tq curve and a luscious sound.
My god Jason how are you so smart? Your pattern recognition, car knowledge and math work are UNBELIEVABLY GOOD. Also, I live how now Hybrids mean that we can go back to N/A engines because we don't need Turbos to assist engines anymore and therefore we regain great sounding engines 🥰🔥
Imagine how much simpler it is to package and cool a NA v16//electric combo. Vs. Quad turbo v16. Not to mention how beautiful that new motor will be NA.
That's pretty sweet. I have wanted to build a paired V8 V16 out of Ford 460s for a while now, just something about a 15L V16 that's appealing. It's interesting that they are doing this this way, my first choice plan was to run the front one in standard rotation but the rear one in reverse rotation, butted together, with the power going aft via a shaft slung underneath from the flywheel end. Hopefully they aren't going to have too much of an issue with crankshaft flex in that, or with block shifting.
I would assume whatever future car Bugatti will put the V16 in won’t be specifically designed for top speed because the hybrid system wouldn’t work when trying to reach the highest possible speed since there would be no regenerative braking and the engine would be better suited to just send all of its power straight to the wheels.
I dont understand why this makes sense to me, the way he explains things just makes sense it's great 🙌🏽 as long as you have a basic understanding of engines, this video is perfect
Doing the math to prove it’s a 90 degree V8 when pictures already exist is peak Jason

The V16s were significantly less expensive, low rpm engines designed to effortlessly at low rpms move around a huge limousine with only 3 gears in a time where it was uncommon to travel faster than 70mph, more of a truck engine, where the Dusenberg was like a double Offenhouser I4 or an aero engine that ran at higher rpms and depended upon breathing to make the 265 and 300 gross HP while still being acceptably tractable down low in a heavy vehicle.
I remember seeing videos from Mate about starting modding cars in his garage, he's now presenting Bugatti cars.
Crazy.
thanks for the thorough overview with your signature explanation process.
You haven't even watched it yet.
Thanks for watching!
@@EngineeringExplained74.4 lb per liter is extremely solid. i’m curious to know as well if it indeed is naturally aspirated. you always do a phenomenal job breaking down the details.
shut up. dude got a like and heart-thingy and followed up afterwards. go weep,@@JSFGuy
@@EngineeringExplained hey mate cheers, why haven't you done the Chiron 300+ video calculations huh? I wonder why, well, I made them myself 😁 and is a complete lie
I hope you do a video on it, if you really don't care about views...
"The Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ did indeed achieve a record speed of 304.773 mph (490.484 km/h) during a test run in 2019. However, the customer version of the Chiron Super Sport 300+ is electronically simited to a top speed of 273 mph (440 km/h) for safety and regulatory reasons.
To determine if the Chiron Super Sport 300+ could theoretically achieve 305 mph (493 km/h) without the electronic limiter, we need to consider the factors involved:
1. Aerodynamic Drag:
Drag Coefficient: Approximately 0.35
Frontal Area: -2.4 square meters
Alr Density: 1.225 kilograms per cubic meter
2. Power Output:
1,577 horsepower (1,176 kilowatts)
Calculations:
Using the drag equation:
Power of Drag = Air Density x Drag Coefficient × Frontal Area × Velocity
For 306 mph (138.62 meters per second):
Power of Drag = x 1.225 x 0.36 x 2.4 x (136.62)
Power of Drag 674, 198 Watts
Power of Drag 2,078 kiloWatts
Comparison with Available Power:
The Chiron Super Sport 300+ engine produces 1,176 kilowatts. For achieving 306 mph, the car would need approximately 2,078 kilowatts, which is significantly higher than the engine's output
Conclusion:
The calculations show that while the Chiron Super Sport 300+ can achieve very high speeds, reaching 306 mph (493 km/h) would require more power than the car's engine can provide. This Implies that without additional power and overcoming other practical limitations (such as tire Integrity and safety concerns), the Chiron Super Sport 300+ cannot achieve 306 mph. Therefore, the 304.775 mph achieved during the test run was a significant accompitshment under highly controlled conditions, but pushing beyond this to 306 mph is not feasible with the current power and design constraints of the vehicle."
wow this was so much fun to watch! thanks for the awesome video
I think we all appreciated that 😂 2:28
Him: "The turbo chargers were 69% larger."
Me: Nice
Him: Nice
Me 😄
No idea why you are talking about turbos. The Cosworth V16 is naturally aspirated.
Also Me: Nice
@@v4skunk739 jason was comparing the W16 engines from the Veyron/Chiron
I see what they did there, they wanted not just forced induction, but rizz induction too....
twin oversized turboes are actualy quad turboes . i think imhop if you want the best output just use a good old fashoned charger
I can imagine trade schools and university engineering courses seriously using your videos in their curriculum. I'm an armchair mechanic myself, but it's information like this that allows me to understand and geek out even more about this stuff. I'd love more information about motorcycle and industrial power plants as well.
Armed with a whiteboard, nothing can stop you!
Also, have you thought about a collaboration with Mark Rober?
When Mate Rimac said they were developing something unique and new I was hoping for a star engine 😅. Laid on its side, with like 9 cylinders at least, turbocharged and electrical valves
I believe what you are describing as a star engine is formally known as a radial engine. They were popular in aviation in the 1940s and 50s.
That also sound like something Christian would make and not Mate
GREAT VIDEO! NICE NUMBERS!
I'm really happy you are still putting out content. I've been watching your channel since the beginning!
I could listen to you talking about engines all day long man!! Just pure bliss.
Half way through and I'm lost!! Better start over!!
I am studying chemical engineering, and I absolutely love your videos man!
If you don't mind, I would be glad to see some more chemistry related stuff :D I really enjoyed your videos about the Li-ion batteries.
Chemistry has always been tough for me! I've got a battery video going on in the background, and the chemistry is ooof!
Haha, I know the feeling! For me it has always been statics and dynamics that have been challenging @@EngineeringExplained
That firing order breakdown was a work of art!
this guy actually got the horsepower bang on wow
Cosworth is on fire lately. Making some of the best engines out there. The GMA T50… 🤤😍
Lately? Man that's always been their game.
@@Slizzo82 They haven't been represented anywhere I or most other car enthusiasts care about until recently. No Cosworth in Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Porsche, et al. Whatever niche area you're referring to no one cares about.
@@NinjaRunningWild maybe not in your country but worldwide they have for a very long time (since at least the 80s)
In all the years I’ve seen your videos this one is really really well made. Your knowledge and ability to explain is incredible. Greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰
Cheers, thanks for watching and appreciate the kind words!!
Personally, I think it would be cool to see something like this be able to have distinctive modes. A 100% full blown push the brain into the back of your skull mode and a mode that could get you 40 mpg. Imagine having a green and a red key for your Bugatti so you could also get 400 miles to the tank if you were so inclined... just because you could.
the enthusiast are gonna absolutely LOVE this thing. all the benefits of that raw, n/a predictability. with the linear power of a 16 cylinder engine only Bugatti can provide. mixed with the instant torque of the Rimac hybrid powertrain. and a sound so magnificent the Gods themselves will weep. it's gonna be marvelous.
i wonder what the fuel economy will be like....
2:27 Ah a man of culture I see. Very nice.
@EngineeringExplained :: Not sure if anyone pointed this out already, but as a native speaker of Serbo-Croatian, I can tell you two things - 1) Mate Rimac is pronounced as Muh-teh Ree-mah-ts ; 2) The phrasing Mate used in conjunction with the emoticon may actually translate to something along the lines of "oh, that's rich...", as that specific phrasing is very often used sarcastically, much more so than its direct meaning as a praise.
Just thought I'd throw a spanner in the works :D
Thanks! I included the original comment because translations often aren't directly accurate, so appreciate you chiming in! Were you to guess, does the language sound affirmative or more like "no way"? Because I think even sarcastically you might say "oh wow now THAT would be cool ;)" in a way that's like hey please don't spill all the details just yet.
@@EngineeringExplained I added a separate comment, but in most cases it translates to something like a playful "nice try, although you're wrong". BTW your numbers were very conservative. 1000+1000 is much too low. They'll probably push for 2x electric 750hp each, plus 1500 combustion. They have to make a crazier car than Koenigsegg's ~2300 HP.
@@EngineeringExplained I had posted a follow-up, but it contained a link to another comment on Facebook, which might be why TH-cam mods (or even you) deleted it.
Anyway, the gist of it was that Mate Rimac seems to be very stingy with responding to comments on his posts, and the response I had linked was one confirming the engine is N/A with a simple "Yep." to one of the commenters in an earlier post Rimac had made. The only other direct response he gave to commenters about any of this was along the lines of "all shall be revealed in due time".
This all leads me to believe that the commenter you pointed out (Heinz Schenk) was onto something, and the snarky sarcastic handwave was probably a misdirection attempt. I can't be sure about the electric engine(s) power figure(s), but I do think you're just about correct; something tells me Bugatti-Rimac didn't go through the trouble of designing such an elaborate ICE powertrain just to have it play second fiddle to the electric subsystem - I doubt they'd want it overshadowed by the electric motors.
@randomnik70 :: I doubt Jason overestimated the engine power, given how simple the intake manifolds and the valvetrain look; to get much more efficiency without traditional forced induction, they'd have to have an elaborate variable valve timing and duration system with some huge valves/ports and also probably rammed air (scooped from the front and inducted into the manifolds), as what Jason proposes is already pushing it in terms of volumetric efficiency.
Máté is a Hungarian name, as well.
THANK YOU for another high-quality, old-style, whiteboard video instead of a not-so-well-sounding unmounted vlog :D
(the explanations are crystal-clear, great work)
Today, Bugatti revealed the specs and maths are all correct
I don’t think most will understand this level of explanation and ability to switch this level of thought process between each matrix is just mind bending.
Car conpanies: we’re moving to clean energy low footprint electric and hybrid vehicles
Bugatti: look at this sick new V16 engine we just made 😁
The review of this Bugatti need to be Jason² !
Oohh, I'd love that!
That'd be really cool. Those two have such a good dynamic
Man, time and time again you prove yourself to be one of the best channels on TH-cam. Having access to information like this is one of the few ways the internet contributes positively to the world, in my opinion.
So so warming to read - means a lot to me, thank you!!
Can you make a video on the pistonless engine omega 1? Would love to have your take on this.
What has the world come to..... Pistonless engines? Wtf man
@joe13c00l2 with engines that use pistons, there is a lot of reciprocating mass and with the omega 1 it spins in one direction, making it a more efficient motor. Thus more power for the same amount of work.
@@joe13c00l2It's called a Wankel Rotary, not a piston in sight. 80 year old tech.
Shoot...I forgot about rotary engines...i always thought of the dorito as a piston tho...@@PrinceAlhorian
Turbines are technically piston less internal combustion engines too...
11:30 just for the flex AND I LOVE IT😂❤
The sound of this engine will be amazing.
One of my all-time favorite engineers! It takes real genius to be able to digest the computation and physics of engineering, and turn it into something genuinely enthusiastic. Well done, Jason!
3x Electric motors , BEAT any ICE Engine.
2:26 very nice
2:27 "69% larger, nice" - quote of the year.
Damn, it has the torque curve of an electric car!
Not a waste of time at all Jason ! Actually super entertaining and very informative!! Loved it!!👍👌
@13:31 Cool to see where "5252" comes from, and that it's more specifically 33,000/2π.
The full story is actually really interesting, if, you know... you're interested! th-cam.com/video/gC2-JKO0c2I/w-d-xo.htmlsi=5oC5Sfz8dpUupw_a
Cosworth are the masters of NA engines in this era, if you want a good NA engine go to Cosworth.
Or Judd.
@2:27 Nice
Im Glad Mr Rimac isn't going full electric but instead following Bugattis tradition by making huge powerful combustion engines and then combining them with the advantages of electric engines to make the ultimate car :D
Bugatti is the internal combustion engine champion i hope they keep this going and do a W20, and W30 and beyond like those rich guy cars from the 20s and 30s 😂
that crank must be heavy af
imagine the crank wobble, such a long boi must wobble like crazy.
i'm sure they thought of that
1 meter long😅
Crankshafts on my last ship were like 30' long. They can figure it out 😂
@JoshuaTootell sure but it was probably also as wide as ur mom, that makes it less wobbly
the cizeta moroder was a v16 in 91
Was it a prodcution car though?
I mean 8 production vehicles is it really a production car ? Those early 20th century v16s has hundreds of examples
Rare cars are considered production vehicles even when they are made in single digit numbers.
Cadillac made a V16 in 1930. They made 4000 of them.
Nah not really @@CyanRooper they're not series production vehicles. More homologated concept cars
All that explanation and failed to actually say that the engine was developed by Cosworth
Finally a Bugatti that will potentially sound good
EB110 wasnt bad
I can confirm from my friend who works at Bugatti it’s a 1000hp na motor with 1000hp duel electric hub motors at each front wheel. I got to see a video of the first start up at cossworths engine Dyno over a year ago
CIZETA MORODER V16T 1995
You can give so much more knowledge using a whiteboard and a few pictures - than (maybe) all of the animated videos here on YT! Love your channel, but this video is absolut outstanding. Thank you so much! Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹!
Wow, finally a new engine! Looks stunning! That Mate Rimac guy is the best!
This guy , is just music to my ears ❤
8:33
everyone else: hmm, yes, very interesting
me: playing whack-a-mole
The torque per liter unit is cursed.. (14:17) lb-ft per liter should be simplified to lb per (feet squared) with a conversion factor
Right off the bat, it would be significantly more efficient to simply build a very large V8, second it would be much easier to make a V16 with a crankshaft on 2 axis that operates as a pair of V8 firing simultaneously instead of the 4 axis crankshaft with the 45 degree firing order due to complexity of making the crank and the increase in the chance that there could be flaxs that make the crank throws even a few degrees imperfect on one plane and the fact that there is no power advantage to making the engine in this oberly complex way compared to a large V8 or 90 degree double V8 of the same displacement, this is the same reason why manufacturers refuse to give us large cross plane I4s that would give is better balance, beautiful tq curve and a luscious sound.
Just brilliant….and insane!
I love when car manufacturers do things outside the norm...big props to bugatti
My god Jason how are you so smart? Your pattern recognition, car knowledge and math work are UNBELIEVABLY GOOD.
Also, I live how now Hybrids mean that we can go back to N/A engines because we don't need Turbos to assist engines anymore and therefore we regain great sounding engines 🥰🔥
Imagine how much simpler it is to package and cool a NA v16//electric combo. Vs. Quad turbo v16. Not to mention how beautiful that new motor will be NA.
I’m glad you know about ‘32. Some videos have called v16 cars a new thing
Drivetrain is gargantuan 😵💫 Brilliant analysis as always
The noise alone makes me feel funny in the downstairs area.
So I don't need to feel guilty about my diesel pick and my rally motorcycle. 2.2 and 1000cc. Now I can relax and blast away.
That's pretty sweet. I have wanted to build a paired V8 V16 out of Ford 460s for a while now, just something about a 15L V16 that's appealing. It's interesting that they are doing this this way, my first choice plan was to run the front one in standard rotation but the rear one in reverse rotation, butted together, with the power going aft via a shaft slung underneath from the flywheel end.
Hopefully they aren't going to have too much of an issue with crankshaft flex in that, or with block shifting.
11:20, I'm dying. Love the humor
I would assume whatever future car Bugatti will put the V16 in won’t be specifically designed for top speed because the hybrid system wouldn’t work when trying to reach the highest possible speed since there would be no regenerative braking and the engine would be better suited to just send all of its power straight to the wheels.
I dont understand why this makes sense to me, the way he explains things just makes sense it's great 🙌🏽 as long as you have a basic understanding of engines, this video is perfect
I am Croatian.... "dobar si" is usually sarcastic ;)
DAMMIT! All this time I thought 3 was before 1!!! Thanks, J!
