Who said V8 had to be big and heavy ..
 
Take a look at this guy's concept engine ( Ducati Elenore V8 Update ) .. seems like tons of promise in this new engine design .. what do you guys think ?

Whoops .. meant to post this in the lounge .. can a mod help out and move this ?

Thanks

That is not a V8 it is a V2 with very odd shaped pistons!

It's neat, no doubt, but I'm seeing waay too many things that could go wrong with that design.

Hope it includes positive oil pressure on the rocker arm shaft bearings, not lifetime lubed copier bearings!

I wonder how they will be able to drive the desmodromic valves with that design.

I think it has more moving parts than an actual V8!

Ferrari 308 3 liter V8 is not that big... it's about the same size as our motor??

You mean one of these?

Yeah but it's still actually a V-8, not the innovation that the thread was started on. I have not problems with little V8s or V12s, they sing a good song and don't force the car's proportions to extend.
