I'm note sure about some of those examples - whatever - Did you know that Velocette had horizontally opposed engines (both air-cooled and water cooled) one was in the LE Velocette. You gave an aero engine too - so you might check out the Bristol Cherub - (now they make much noise).

Nothing about the Citroën flat twin engine (2 CV, AMI 6, AMI 8, Méhari and more...). Nothing about the Panhard flat twin, which was used among many others by the American engineer Bill Devin, who built racing fiberglass cars.
The newer BMW boxers really do sound good. The rest all have a distinctive droning sound I really can't stand. Like a Honda VTX1800, it's best to keep the exhaust nice and quiet.
Both the Toyota and the DAF sounded vaguely similar, and as a Dutchman I find it nice to see a DAF in here, but I would think the Citroen sounds slightly better.
I don’t know if it matters, but it’s missing the Brazilian Gurgel BR800, that was equipped with a flat twin 800 cc engine, basically a half from a VW 1600 air cooled engine with a pendular support, but liquid cooled in this application.
My mind's eye sees that Water-cooled BMW 1200 mounted in a light fiberglass kit car or something like a Lancia Stratos . Less power, but less weight & better distribution of weight .

You might have misunderstood what "flat twin" means: Flat means the disposition (opposed cylinder in an horizontal configuration) Twin means two cylinders. So flat twin : two cylinders opposed goldwings use flat four and flat six, so either 4 or 6 cylinders, not 2 And yes, the bmw K series use an inline configuration, not a flat one. But the k75 and k100 have special engines nonetheless because they are disposed longitudinally, and horizontally, which is extremely rare, if not the only one done this way.

The DAF 66 had a gearbox that meant you could drive JUST AS FAST as you could in a forward gear... IN REVERSE
and a lever for the freewheel device on my Daf 33...loved that car!

That dinky little car ran harder than the RX7s and v8 cars that drove there...
Talk about a car with a Chihuahua attitude.
Also that driver knew what he was doing! Mad respect to the car and driver!
And it sounds actually quite nice
Lol
1:50 that wall looked sooo unrealistic that I first thought the sequence was taken from an old game
Its because that green wall that look like low res texture

It would be cool if you added the Briggs and Stratton Flat-Twin :D Look for it, with a proper exhaust they sound epic for a mower engine.
YESSS! I was thinking the same they kinda sound cool stock
Hahaha, I was just about to comment the same thing! I like to think of those as Boxer engines made in the USA
dude I LOVE those things
No Panhard engines ? :(
you forgot the 2cv/3cv legendary engine
Citroen boxer engine
I came here to say the same thing. 2CVs sound terrific.
It is a boxer, not a real "flat"
Remember boxer have 180° spaced crank pins and the flat one is everything else other than 180
@@habdman Most, if not all of the engines in this video are boxers by your definition, as is the 2cv engine.
@@habdman Most flat-twin engines use a boxer configuration for the crankshaft and are therefore called "boxer-twin" engines

was expecting 2cv too
This video is about the best sounding flats😁
@@Jan-ny8hn yes, i know....

Flat twin cars are great. Perfect balance, economical, and you can race them everywhere you go and never get a speeding ticket.
2:25
Aye bro, that shit's gotta be funny
The old dude working on the little DAF truck looks like a beast. He would look hilarious driving it around
Love the newer intro/outro music
You forgot about the briggs and stratton twin 16hp to 18hp boxer opposed twin engines that murray used in their riding lawnmowers
seriously! my favorite twin cylinder engine(s)!
No panhard flat twin ?!
Citroën 2cv??
You'v forgotten the Alfasud ti
U did not noticed USSR bikes like Dnepr and Ural they both have opposite twins
What about the IMZ/KMZ 750?

Missing Jowett… they made flat twins from 1906 till 1953. Also made flat 4s.

Where are Ural(IMZ) and Dnepr motorcycles?
This motorcycles have flat motor with OHV drivetrain
It is not yet on the roads but I had the chance to hear BMW new 1800cc flat twin, and let me tell you it deserves its place on the list...
Did you? I am curious about that one...

Air cooled flat twins, Steyr flat twin, Belt driven CVTs...
Wait, has anyone seen Hub Nut? His cars have been sent to the Triangle of Doom!
Finally a new intro good job keep pushing the channel to the top like this !
Loving the new intro 👍
love the outro song, Saib does some good stuff

Fun fact of the daf 600, it's as fast in forward gear as reverse ggear
Where are Panhard and Citroën enigines?
Wow the supercharged BMW bike was something indeed...
you missed the Citroën 2CV
bit of a stretch calling is best sounding at all
It's because you didn't hear the Enertron flat-twin engine from Gurgel, used in the brand's last cars in the 90's
The Daf 33 sounds like the Kawasaki Mule 500 I use for snow removal
What's the different between flat twins and boxer engine?
The Toyota Sport 800 had a 2-valve OHV engine per cylinder
love the new intro and outro bro that outro is lit
Why no BK350
And then you get the Citroen 2cv which was reliable as F@%k
That yellow Car at the end sounded like an xr75 lol
No mention of possibly the Worlds most famous flat twin, in the 2CV???
Why is the R1100GS not on here?
Im glad ur bck bro💓💓
Really liking the new intro!
They all sounded like lawn mowers except the BMW R1200. Best sounding flat twin? Reg Pridmore's BMW 750 superbikes by far.
Another interesting video. Dakujem.
Und was ist mit Citroën 2CV und Panhard haben auch 2 Zylinder Boxer??
I believe the HKS 700 is a derivative of the Toyota 700.
Love the new remake for your intro
Desert Aircraft makes 2 stroke boxer twin and four for rc airplanes. A DA100 engine would have been the 7th engine of this video for sure.
Porsche has the best flat six
Simply Nailogical music :O
I was thinking of Subaru, Citroen and Ferrari 312. Thee Yellow DAF is a rather sad example..
Subaru didn’t have a flat twin in production vehicle.
Citroen 2cv?
No Motoguzzi?
Friggen awesome!
What about the citreon 2cv?
I cant wait for my r nine t later this year
Is the intro music a new mix? I liked it.
Basically yeah, it is a song from the FCPX music folder
Evinrude used to make a pretty sweet sounding flat twin two stroke. They used it in snowmobiles like the Skeeter.
No lfa?
hahaha imagine building a compact hachback with flat twin capable of 12k to 15k RPM supercharge. if their is one would you buy one ?
Love this channel, great finds
Wow
Velocette LE, no wait, you couldn't actually hear them.
Not bad
Flat twins don’t run smooth because the cylinders are staggered by the width of the con rod big end so they all have a rocking couple. A 5 bearing 4 cylinder is way smoother
DAF 600 Best sounding?
No Alfa Romeo???
I've got an old opposing twin Kohler engine on a Cub Cadet that sounds better than that last one.
VisioRacer notification squad
why does the BMW have a spark plug on the exhaust pipe? 2:55
I think that’s an O2 sensor :P but I could be wrong
Dudeee, that's an O2 sensor, not a spark plug...
VisioRacer is it really? Why would it have one O.o
@@chaoszombie9995 Fuel injection control. That's what an O2 sensor does based on oxygen content in the exhaust.

But why were the engines bad?
Best sounding flat twin is the one thats not running...
Same thumbnail as Yammie Noob. Hmm...
same picture as official bmw, hmmmmmmm
