The BUGATTI W16 Engine - The Last of Its Kind
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 07. 2022
- BUGATTI’s 8.0-liter W16 engine has reigned over the world of internal combustion for nearly two decades. It has powered the brand's hyper sports cars into the history books as the only 16-cylinder aggregate in the world.
As a unique masterpiece of engineering and long since an icon, the 8.0-liter W16 made its debut in the VEYRON 16.4 in 2005, before culminating in the CHIRON Super Sport 300+ breaking the 300 mph barrier at exactly 304.773 mph (490.484 km/h) in 2019.

“don’t be sad that it’s over, be glad that it happened”. this engine will forever leave its mark on automotive history. built to absolute perfection.
just hope that maybe one day we will see a revived w16 from bugatti once again. like a special ode to a foregone era of engines
It won't be going away anytime this century. Remember that the point of the W16 and the super high end gas engines were never about practicality. A time may come that it'll be super obsolete, but the market for this, the enthusiasts, will remain.
Just like the legendary VW 1.9Tdi 😔
@@anotoman123 the joining of rimac and bugatti is the start of electric bugatti's in nico rossberg's video where he collects his rimac they talk with the ceo about the future of bugatti. And its going electric. The next car wont even have a v8 i believe
@@evobsm2328 oh, of course. I meant that gas cars will always still have a place in the hearts of collectors and in us as an important piece of automotive history.
Imagine telling the man who first invented the VR6 for Volkswagen that down the road this is what it would become! Madness
imagine telling the guys at Lancia in the 1920s the same thing about their VR4 engine

@@playstation8779 They really were! They were one of the (if not the) first to develop an inline 5 for the 3Ro in 1938. It would have taken a lot of hand calculations to figure out the ideal crank configuration at that time. Either that or some genius intuition.
That man would be proud, because literally it's his concept (VR6 was literally V6 like no other) of putting as much punch in smallest package while keeping reasonable volume of cylinders and short enough stroke for nice revving.
In 50 years we will look back at this and think "what a masterpiece"
bruh its dadusak
Im already thinking what a masterpiece.
VR engines were never a masterpiece...
Looking at the EV trend I'd say 50yrs is a lotta time we might say that much earlier
Lucky that Bugatti made few masterpieces :)
I feel like this engine and the Veyron had a big role in igniting a new age in hypercars by pushing the envelope. The last hurrah of the internal combustion engine!
One year later, Bugatti has developed a V16 engine…perhaps not the last hurrah…not yet at least.
the w16 made speed records for all of time, and it’s sad that it’s going to be gone. its not just an engineering masterpiece, it’s also a work of beautiful art to be remembered for the ages like the lamborghini v12, just, different. perhaps better.

I don’t understand, they will stop making buggati or it will be replaced with a new engine ?
@@rakimmalik180 they will stop to produce the w16 engine..
since RIMAC is now under the same roof with Bugatti, theyll probably build some hyper-hybrid or go full electric
@@rakimmalik180 They wouldn't have to stop making it. Its based on what the certain country's want to do, politics, oil, groups, movements, prices... soo many things affect 1 single thing. But yes its said that they announced they are ceasing production of it. But Im sure parts will always be available if you have money to buy one. in 2050 or 2100, they will still be treasured. Nothing would stop you from driving a normal car, or electric, but both are dinosaurs. Oil will always be used as its a plastic product, paints, etc etc etc etc. Bugatti will always be around and have a history.

I remember I was in the dealer once for the delivery of a white Chiron and hearing the startup of that thing inside of the building…. The presence of that engine is unmatched just at idle. You’ll never get anything like this with an electric. I will miss this engine dearly.
You hit the nail on the head. Cars are more than going fast. Sound and vibration add to a car’s character!

@@etherial8dtracks169 wow you really solved the riddle
Why u acting like everyones gonna switch to electric?
electric cars make no sound and no vibration? The ones I've heard sound like superchargers. Just pure whine. Never heard anyone complain about supercharger noise and unless electric cars are somehow using some suspension setup from the future there is still vibration.
Bugatti is the definition of finding the limits, pushing it further, finding the new limits, and never stopping. Incredible.
i dont think 1500 HP was the limit even, slap bigger turbos on it and it could do easy 2500 HP

And why would it be considered an enginiering masterpiece? Because of its efficiency? Because of how it only manages to build that power with 4 turbos (unlike a cosworth v12 that builds 1000hp without turbo or superchargers also in a road car) or just because "wow, thats a massive amount of cylinders, and a lot of money"

This is truly an piece of art
Still such a wonderous piece of engineering.
Brings a tear to the eye.
The "W16" engine is unique amongst VW Group's family of VR and W concept engines. This is because if you remove every other cylinder, i.e. the "staggered" ones, it still runs perfectly smoothly.
That's because each staggered half of the engine is its own self-contained 90° V8, which is the real genius of its conception. It's arguably the culmination of the concept, and a real innovation compared with the other engines in the family.
It is for certain a very elegant and deceptively simple solution that saved them a lot of difficulty in designing a true staggered cylinder V16. In that respect it is far simpler than the "W12" even, despite it starting from an already familiar basis in the VR6.
it reminds me a lot of the later WW2 airplane piston engines
@@microsoft790 true
I always loved the top gear description of "they just basically bolted 2 V8s together and called it a day"
Incredible engine and really sad to see regulations pushing big manufacturers away from these works of art in favor of electrics. In the end it just leaves space for small manufacturers to fill in the gaps!
@@BaioWithMayo whilst technically true, it's not true in the sense they implied. Top Gear at the time liked to mock VW for being staid and sensible, maybe even creatively "lazy". Obviously the entire "VR" concept suggests otherwise, but they had already been around for a while when that comment was made.
The crankshaft shows that the V8s are merged and interleaved, not simply bolted end to end and given staggered cylinders like the W8. Moreover, looking at the firing order, one of the V8s is rotated and mirrored to obtain the ideal crankshaft torsion dynamics.
There are some other subtle details like how the narrow angle in each bank contributes to the 45° firing intervals (again reflected in the crankshaft). This one blew my mind when I eventually saw it, and I was only looking because the crankshaft didn't make sense to me as belonging to a staggered cylinder V16, or any of VW's other "W" engines for that matter.
All these little but entirely significant details came together almost a little too well, and this was either the result of a lot of hard work and failed concepts, or sheer genius. Possibly necessarily both.
@@identiticrisis oh for sure haha, wish text sounded more ironic in the sense of "loved how..", its clearly so much more otherwise LS dudes would have made it in their garage. Truly is special, but we can joke around a bit too
I like how the original w16 was just the biggest engine they could possibly make and only had like 150hp per liter and Bugatti just said yea imma roll with this for the next two decades
Totally a Bugatti move
right, and to think there are 4cyl subi's and evos making 1000hp haha.
@@MrMnMade try racing these things against a bugatti. Their engines will explode after a few laps lmfao
they did this considering the reliability! You can put more, but only at the cost of stressing the components to their limit.
@@MrMnMade there’s n/a engines out there making 150hp per liter and Bugatti had to add turbochargers to get there 🤣
Unreal! I'm just glad I was alive to see this beast!
It’s fantastic!!! Thank you for your work! Thank you for making these masterpieces for us!!
I want to take a moment to thank you, Volkswagen, for bringing this brand back to life and creating these marvellous beasts.
Thank you very very much ❤️
Thanks to the now deceased ex-CEO Ferdinand Piëch this came to life. Not to discredit the brilliant designers and engineers involved but he was the guy who insisted, persisted, and pushed the Veyron project forward, despite it being a massive financial failure.
@@xissburg that is passion. Awesome consuming passion. I love that his car exists

@@lazylion420 completely unrelated
can someone please tell me what the hell's goin on? is there going to be no more produced W16 engines in bugatti cars? is bugatti going electric, or are they just gonna use a different gas-powered engine for their cars now? what is happening???
This car and engine are immensigly beautiful. Still remains as one of the best looking cars in my opinion, definitely will age well and never be forgotten.
You sure got us there, Bugatti. Well played.
Absolutely incredible engineering!

I would like to congratulate all the engineer's who made this possible 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
OUTSTANDING

Legendary engine.. The W16 is truly an engineering masterpiece
That W16 was so unique and so powerful, its right up there with one of the best engines ever made. That sweet burble is everything i could ask for.
A Koenigseng or Hennessy F5 can make more power with only half the cylinder counts and ½ the number of turbo chargers.
@@lordmaster5522 doesn't matter. The W16 is just way more iconic than a normal huge V8 with huge turbos
@@lordmaster5522 You sir are should not mention those too let me explain why. A Bugatti engine is way more reliable than those two you've mentioned, it can produce upwards of 2500hp but that was never the goal. Its a luxury hypercar and the engine being what it is helps deliver the smoothness that its famous for. Koenigsegg is my favorite car manufacturer but like just like Hennessey, those engines will blow if they squeeze any more power out of them. You should go see Bugatti engine endurance test if you haven't already.
@@justincharles6585 If reliability is what you are after, then it’s hard to beat Toyota’s 2JZ which can reliably and dependably be tuned to 2,000hp. And the 2JZ is also low maintenance for upkeep too and with 10 lesser cylinders.
@@lordmaster5522 i think they're trying to emphasize that the goal of the cars that the W16 is in was to be a Luxury Hypercar. I agree with you that the 2jz can be made to be reliable, but neither the Supra or the is300 are specifically luxury hypercars. The goal for the Chiron and Veyron were to be luxurious Hypercars with remarkable performance.
That is incredibly beautiful.
Awesome engine and music
It really is sad watching this masterpiece be part of history but this work of art will never be forgotten I’ll always remember that iconic start up and those power numbers
This engine will always be remembered for pushing the absolute boundaries of speed on a road car
Want absolute limit??? Check Koenigsegg Gemera...
It's a four seater supercar... THEY pushed the already too far pushed boundaries...
I think they were just unlucky... Didn't get enough time to explore their limits before the electric market came over...
We would have witnessed an extreme competitive race between Bugatti and Koenigsegg...

Bugatti sure is a old company... Sure has made a lot of improvements and innovations in the automotive industry... No doubt about that...
But u ever see what Koenigsegg did... They started independently and without the support of any other major company, just built their first supercar, which actually best Bugatti at their record...
And that's not it... They kept on building machines that rivaled the performance and records of Bugatti, even when Ferrari, McLaren, Audi or any other "big" companies couldn't do it...

One of the greatest engineering innovation of human history, thank you Bugatti for blessing the automotive world with such amazing engine
it is just a big ass internal combustion engine, a technology that was mastered for decades by the time the W16 was designed. It is just more cylinders and more turbos to make ore power. The Porsche Spider is more innovative as a powertrain. The W16 is nower near being the greatest innovation of human history. The vapore engine, the AC current, vaccination, sewer networks, the PN junction (transistors, micro chips, CPU/GPU, LED, Solar cells...) or laser beams are far greater innovations...
