A fruits of two angled V8 engines fused in a W configuration, this 8-liter 16-cylinder engine has powered Bugatti’s supercars for practically 20 years. First introduced in 2005 within the technical particulars for the Veyron 16.4, Bugatti’s W16 engine quickly grew to become synonymous with energy and pace — boasting an acceleration from 0 to 62 mph in 2.4 seconds and a prime pace of 248 mph.

With over 3,500 particular person elements assembled by hand, the W16 engine rocks 4 turbochargers, permitting for a most energy output of 1,500 horsepower in every wheel and a torque of 1,180 lb-ft. These spectacular specs are solely doable because of the engineering marvels Bugatti needed to give you. To deal with misfires or knocking within the engine, the supercar producer developed the Bugatti Ion Current Sensing (BIS) system, which allowed every cylinder to run exactly, permitting most output whereas minimizing combustion inefficiency. 

The secret behind the maintained temperatures of the W16 engine, even at full load, is the advanced water-cooling system. Using titanium for the exhaust system additional ensures that any sportscar fitted with the W16 engine doesn’t overheat.
