Here's another one to amaze/amuse you:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...07968723223473
What do you think about that kind of rev limit?
This is a Cosworth 2.4L V8 turning a bit of rpm on the engine dyno (just keep your eye on the electronic tach). The new F1 V8s have a 98mm bore and a stroke of only 39mm (1.56"). This means the small V8 spins to 18,850 rpm to reach the same 25 m/sec piston speed of an EVO engine turning 8500rpm. AFAIK, the rod/stroke ratio is around 2.3, which means it has a connecting rod of only 90mm (~3.5"), so the assembled shortblock of one of these things must be only around 6" tall! These engines generate in excess of 300bhp/liter normally aspirated! Fuel economy averages ~70L / 100km or ~3.2mpg, and the valves are pneumatically operated (look mom, no cams).
I've looked everywhere in the photo, but I can't see the Xede. . .
